Course Description Lecture, Analysis of samples of other filmmakers’ works, and targeted exercise will give students deeper understanding of the basic principles of animation and techniques of visual storytelling. Course goals include proficiency in the basic principles of animation and ability to demonstrate them through incremental drawings; proficiency in planning and executing incremental motion to give life to a story; refinement of drafting skills to depict acting, posing, gestures, staging, composition, framing, and the physics, choreography and psychology of animated motion. Program Outcomes PLO 1 The student will be able to construct an animated story in written and visual formats. PLO 2 The student will be able to apply animation theory to character development. PLO 3 The student will be able to integrate a Christian worldview to the field of animation. PLO 4 The student will be able to conceptualize an animation production. PLO 5 The student will be able to perform core applications of 2-D and 3-D animation production using current technologies. Relationship of course to Regent’s Mission Mission: Regent University serves as a center of Christian thought and action to provide excellent education through a Biblical perspective and global context equipping Christian leaders to change the world. 1. Biblical Perspective: In this course, we will study the creation of animation from a Biblical perspective, understanding it as a meaningful expression of human experience, as a means of pursuing God’s truth, and as an act of love and community. The readings and assignments focus on cultivating your understanding of creating animation—what it means to communicate with others through visual literacy and to plan visual projects that helps us and others see God in our work and in the way in which we produce our work. We will apply Biblical truth to the issues in animation that are addressed in the course. The assignments allow you to develop your skills in effective planning of artistic projects, thus practicing the Biblical call to love others (even through Last updated: 9/5/22 2 | P a g e

the act of planning well) and to live in community (even when the community is cultivated through visual projects). 2. Global Context: In this course, we will study how the visual arts communicate the human condition in ways that cross the boundaries of time and place. In seeking to understand and appreciate visual communication as it shows God’s love to the world, we will cultivate love and empathy, both of which are essential to interacting in a global context. SECTION 2: COURSE REQUIREMENTS Course Learning Outcomes Upon completion of this course, students should have a: 1. Working knowledge of animation workflow (PLO 1,2) 2.

Course Procedures Attendance Policy (College of Arts & Sciences) Regent University recognizes the importance of class attendance and participation for students’ learning. While attendance alone does not guarantee learning, engagement with the class through regular attendance and participation is essential to learning, both to the individual student and to the class itself as all benefit by others’ contributions. At Regent University, class attendance, understood as the act of being present, is considered to be separate from participating in the class, understood as active engagement through discussion and other forms of interaction. Both are valuable to student learning. Like other institutions of higher education, Regent University is required to maintain accurate attendance records by the U.S. Department of Education. Attendance is tracked weekly. For any week (7 days) in which a student does not attend class or, for online courses, participate in academic activities for the course in Blackboard, the student will be marked absent in the Blackboard grade book. The standard by which a final date of attendance in the class is measured will be the last date on which the online student engages in academic activity for the course in Blackboard or the on-campus student attends the on-campus class for a course, whichever is more recent. “Academic activity” includes submitting an assignment, taking an exam or tutorial, engaging in computer-assisted instruction, participating in online discussion about academic matters, or initiating contact with a faculty member to discuss academic matters concerning the course. Students should be aware that this date could affect their financial aid and financial obligations. Normally, expectations for participation—such as those for quality work in the group discussions (including those in Blackboard)--differ from the minimal requirements for attendance. Thus, at the instructor's discretion, a student who is present or absent might lose participation points. Instructors determine whether students may gain back lost participation points (for example, through additional work). Students should be aware that instructors follow their posted policy for receiving late work from students. Work turned in late (papers, discussion board posts, etc.) could result in the loss of participation points or other components of the final course grade. Instructors are responsible to maintain accurate records regarding attendance and to follow course policies for grading student work, including students’ participation. Students are responsible to attend and participate in class and to follow campus policies. Student Attendance Policy (15 Week On-Campus only) Recognizing the importance of student participation in the educational process, students will be required to attend 15 week on-campus classes while allowing for a limited number of excused absences. These excused absences do not require documentation of justification for the absence. However, absent students are responsible for contacting the instructor within 48 hours of the absence to arrange for the possibility of making up missed work. Students should keep in mind that the excused absences should be used with prudence as absences beyond the allowable number will result in grade deductions. As the College of Arts and Sciences offers courses in a number of delivery configurations, the following guidelines are provided: Absences exceeding those indicated above will result in the following final grade deductions: Class Meetings /Week Total # of Meetings Total Absences % Grade Consequences Last updated: 9/5/22 4 | P a g e

Blackboard Requirements Blackboard has four primary purposes in our courses: (1) to provide a means for students to receive timely information about the course in general, assignments, grades, and announcements from the instructor; (2) to promote thoughtful interaction between the instructor and students and among students themselves as they work through course materials; (3) to provide a means for students to complete quizzes and other forms of evaluation; and (4) to enhance the learning process by providing a variety of materials. Students are expected to log in to Blackboard and check the Announcements section of Blackboard at least once a week beginning one week before the start of the course. Students must keep their e-mail address current in Blackboard; they are expected to check their Regent e-mail daily to ensure timely receipt of messages from the professor . Last updated: 9/5/22 5 | P a g e

For courses with online discussions, they will be posted in Blackboard. Unless otherwise instructed, the parameters for a student’s postings are [150-200] words (please keep the word count in this range). The purpose of these parameters is to promote writing that is both thorough and concise. The instructor will post questions and activities weekly. Discussion questions will be posted in advance. Since not everyone will see things identically, students are to review one another’s postings in order to further their insight and learning. This is an important benefit of dialogue. Note that the expectations for quality work in the Blackboard group discussions differ from the minimal requirements for attendance. Please check the Start Here link in Blackboard for University Library information and Academic Support information, Blackboard Tutorials and Resources, Academic Honor Code, Writing Styles, Discipline Policies, and Disability Services. Some basic computer skills you are expected to have mastered before taking an online course include the following: sending and receiving emails, opening or sending an email attachment, searching the Internet, using Microsoft Word and downloading files. Numerous online tutorials are available to teach you how to use Blackboard. When you log into Blackboard, access the RU Resources tab at the top right of your screen. If you have technical problems with Blackboard and/or are not able to log in, please contact the Help Desk/IT department. You can e-mail the Help Desk at: helpdesk@regent.edu or call at (757) 352-4076. Assignments Readings – Readings are assigned at the end of each class and must be completed before the next class. Readings are arranged to correspond to lectures and in-class labs and therefore are not chronological in order. Therefore, close attention must be paid to each reading assignment as posted at the end of the Power Point slides and in this syllabus. Class discussions are based on the readings, and failure to read the assignments can affect your participation grade. Plan homework – Usually assigned on Tuesdays and due the following Thursday, these assignments are designed to prepare you for Thursday’s lab. Using thumbnails, diagrams, and timing charts on one piece of paper, you will plan out your animation to demonstrate key poses, timing and spacing, and motion paths. You will show your plan and explain it to the instructor at the beginning of lab. Plan homework is graded based on completion. 2 points are earned for complete plans, 1 point for a partial plan, and 0 points for no plan. Animation assignments – Usually assigned on Thursdays and due the following Tuesday, these assignments are the actual animations you create and film. The finished movie should be 640 x 480 and compressed using the setting 3ivx MPEG-4 Video Encoder in the Monkey Jam Software. If software other than Monkey Jam is used, please do not make movies larger than 640 x 480 and compress using a similar codec or .h264 QuickTime settings. Assignments must be uploaded to blackboard by 6pm on their due date, and these settings help reduce file size and upload/download times. Animation Notebook – Certain selections from the readings and lectures will be highlighted in class as something that needs to be typed, printed, and placed in your animation notebook. The notebook is something you can hold on to and refer back to throughout your time in the animation program. A table of contents is in the assignments section of blackboard. Toward the end of the semester, notebooks will be turned in and graded based on completion, therefore the table of contents serves as a checklist for all Last updated: 9/5/22 6 | P a g e

that needs to be in the notebook. A three-ring binder with hole-punched pages is suggested, however you may choose in what form your notebook is gathered and kept. Late Assignment Penalties 100 level class late policy: For each day that an assignment is turned in late, 10 points are deducted. For example, an assignment due Tuesday that is turned in on Thursday has a maximum grade of 90. Late assignments will NOT be accepted for grading more than one week late. The student will receive an automatic 50% grade for assignments that are more than one week late. Your teacher has no obligation to grade anything that is more than 1 week late. Anything not turned in by the last day of the class (not the last day of grading, not the last day of classes, but by the last time your class meets) is an automatic 0. Students with disability plans have only 48 hours extra on assignments. After that the same penalties apply. Submitted Projects Policy Submitted projects (written, film, animation, or art) must comply with the mission of Regent University, which serves as a center of Christian thought and action to provide excellent education through a biblical perspective and global context equipping Christian leaders to change the world . If submitted material deviates significantly from the mission of the university by encouraging immorality directly or indirectly, highlighting the profane or vulgar, or advocating a private agenda at the expense of the gospel, it may be returned with a re-submission deadline for a different project. Class Participation You must participate in at least 20 of the 30 classes, at least 8 of which need to be verbally in class discussion. The remaining 12 can be participation in labs. Participation in Lab means the student is present and prepared with materials and any Plan Homework that had been assigned for that Lab and makes progress on their animation during class time. Required Work Hours As per Regent University’s Credit Hour policy, 45 hours of total student work are minimally required for each credit hour earned in a course; therefore, you should calculate the average number of work hours per week required by this course (e.g., a 3-credit course lasting 15 weeks requires at least 9 hours per week of student work) in order to give you an approximate understanding of the amount of time you should devote to its requirements. For online, 8 week classes, the student work effort per week is in effect doubled to about 17 hours per week (vs. 9 hours per week for 15-week courses). However, more than the minimum hours may be required to achieve a high grade in the class. Writing All papers and essays at Regent University must follow the writing style format required by the degree specialty for which they are being written. The writing style to be used in this course is MLA. Last updated: 9/5/22 7 | P a g e

SafeAssign™ In order to support students and faculty in reducing plagiarism, the College of Arts & Sciences utilizes SafeAssign™, a plagiarism prevention service offered through Blackboard. SafeAssign™ detects unoriginal content in student assignments and provides an easily identifiable report for faculty to distinguish between original and plagiarized content. This service helps educators prevent plagiarism by detecting unoriginal content in student papers.

Christian Foundations of Academic Integrity Biblical . Regent University affirms the Biblical commandment of “thou shalt not steal” (Ex. 20:15). In the context of academic integrity, this must be understood in the larger framework of “love thy neighbor as thyself” (Matt. 22:39) as well as “render therefore unto Caesar what are Caesar’s; and unto God what are God’s” (Matt. 22:21). Paul writes from this framework of love and respect when he says, “Pay to all what is owed them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed” (Rom. 13:7). Each of these passages conveys the social obligation to respect the dignity of both the personhood and the property of those in society. Paul thus prescribes the biblical standard of honest, hard work as a key to respecting each other’s personhood and property. In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul even provides counsel to those who have committed theft, stating, “Let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need” (4:28). As such, the God of the Bible mandates a higher life than the world requires, a life in which Christians participate in the love and dignity God holds for himself as Father, Son, and Spirit. Indeed, even as Christ honors and acknowledges the will of his Father and the works of his Spirit, so should Christians honor and acknowledge the wills and works of those that provide opportunities to edify their minds and hearts with the knowledge and wisdom of sound scholarship. In doing so, Christians follow the biblical precept of integrity that is founded on love and respect and enables them to learn both from one another and those outside the faith. Philosophical . Regent University also affirms the necessity of recognizing the classical virtues when deriving a foundation for academic integrity, particularly the virtue of diligence. The virtues dictate that researchers should consider morality first. In other words, one’s sense of expediency must always follow from that which is right, not from that which is convenient. Cicero comments that, in order to act morally, individuals must act in a manner that prevents themselves from being placed in a position where they must choose between convenience and morality, or, stated differently, into a position where Last updated: 9/5/22 13 | P a g e

they “consider one thing to be right but not expedient, and another to be expedient but not right” (102). The virtues, therefore, require diligence in order to act morally upright—diligence to plan ahead, diligence to rationally consider the context of the moral situation, and diligence to act biblically not just ethically. For that which is ethical to the world is never necessarily moral before Christ. (Cicero, Marcus Tullius. On Moral Obligations. Trans. John Higginbotham. London: Faber and Faber LTD, 1967. Print.) Legal. Finally, Regent University affirms the necessity of equipping students for the reality of functioning within a society bound by laws, including copyright laws. Paul speaks clearly about a Christian’s responsibility to abide by the laws of the land. He concludes that authority is ultimately from God, so believers must work within that God-ordained system (Rom. 13). Thus, in mastering the art and science of proper attribution of sources, students are participating in the Biblical tradition of exhibiting reverence for the divine institute of law as well as giving honor where honor is due. Accommodations for Students with Disabilities The policy and intent of Regent University is to fully and completely comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Americans with Disabilities Amendments Act of 2008, to the extent that they apply to the university. Regent University will not discriminate against an otherwise qualified student with a disability in the admissions process, or any academic activity or program, including student-oriented services. Regent University will provide reasonable accommodation to the known physical and mental limitations of a qualified individual with a disability, unless to do so would impose an undue hardship on the operation of the university, or unless it would fundamentally alter a degree or course requirement. Qualified students must request reasonable accommodations for disabilities through the Disability Services Coordinator in Student Services. For information about student records, privacy, and other University policies and procedures, students are directed to the most recent version of the Student Handbook located at http://www.regent.edu/admin/stusrv/docs/StudentHandbook.pdf Last updated: 9/5/22 14 | P a g e
