Description of module content:

Live performance is a holistic sensory experience. We don’t talk about going to “hear” a band or theatre play, we talk about going to “see” it. The visual dimension of live performance has always been a core component of the experience. In this ‘Live Graphics’ module, you will be introduced to the world of graphic design for performance and entertainment. You will work on two design challenges, focused on different areas of the entertainment industry, and each allowing you to explore and develop skills in areas of your own interest within the realm of motion design: ranging from digital or analogue animation, to projection mapping, to responsive generative visuals.
