A five-day Animation Online Course by EKA Summer Academy was the first project presented by the Transform4Europe alliance.<\/p>\n Uniwersytet \u015al\u0105ski reprezentowali studenci: Nikola Chmielewska i Bart\u0142omiej Bochenkiewicz oraz doktorantka Monika Sroga.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”container”][vc_column][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#71af3a”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”container”][vc_column]\r\n “<\/span>EVERYBODY HELPED EVERYBODY. \n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”container”][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″]\r\n During the course, organized by the Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA), participants from dif-ferent backgrounds gained a basic understanding of how 3D animation works. With a focus on typography, the students learned the essential tools that make 3D objects move. In addition, participants learned how to use keyframes and ease and how rigid body physics works.<\/p>\n Through gained skills and knowledge, students worked in groups and created short animated video projects introducing their ideas of the future of universities. In their projects, students pointed out that in a constantly evolving world, digitalization is inevitable, and this means the universities must invest more into collaboration and upgrade their teaching methods. More individual approaches, online courses and teaching practical skills were also suggested. Moreover, students emphasized the importance of inviting campuses and support units.<\/p>\n In their feedback, course participators mentioned that they learned new skills that will be useful in their further studies and careers. “The course was very insightful, and teachers were very patient, knowledgeable and supportive,” said In\u00eas, an exchange student from EKA. Tsvetelina from Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski agreed, and added: “It was a wonderful course, and I learnt a lot about animation!”.<\/p>\n According to Animation Online Course instructor Hleb Kuftseryn, the biggest challenge was to deliver practical technical knowledge to students, to show them what buttons to press and, most importantly, to be able to understand what technical problems students encountered. He was pleased that students managed both, to create their short but sufficient films and to have fun in the process. “I think that having fun is quite important because we wanted to in-spire students and show them a world of animation from a good angle. And according to the student’s feedback, we accomplished this task.”<\/p>\n Elise Eimre, one of the course creators, said that Animation Online Course showed that stu-dents are looking for practical experiences and they are eager to learn, even in the summer. “They were so enthusiastic and positive,” she described the work environment. “Everybody helped everybody. This course was the beginning of something wonderful.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”container”][vc_column][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#71af3a”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”container”][vc_column]\r\n SEE THE 3D ANIMATION WORKS The animations are made with the use of 3D techniques, and the successive phrases appear in different ways according to the rhythm of the music. The short videos feature different font sizes and colours. The generated subtitles are available for download in pdf format<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n
