動畫影象處理

107學年度第2學期課程綱要

吳統雄 Sean TX Wu

一、教學目標 Course Objectives

本課程將針對「內容創作」與「平臺發展」兩部分，進行「雲端合作」式的學習與實作。將從「設計、技術、管理」三方面協助學生認識「數位美學」與實現「數位文化創意」的能力。

本課程強調視覺設計與繪圖數位動畫的知識與應用能力，將使用多種數位繪圖數位動畫設備與工具教學， 預期成果作品有3項：數位美工繪圖能力（3習題）、數位繪圖式主題創作（1作品）、與視覺識別標幟系統/貼圖（1作品），以上2作品之一必須是動畫式表現。

數位繪圖式主題創作指大型（約A4以上）作品、而視覺識別標幟系統/貼圖不限大小，一般在網路上的應用，多為相對小型。

本課程 學習方法強調實作、與網路群體互動。衡諸「數位文創」不可避免的國際化趨勢，本課程並提供中英雙語講義與雲端實作平臺。

如果願意參與學習，本課程過去經驗顯示，可以將一位對數位工具陌生者，培訓為數位文創專案的領導者。本課程技術、管理的訓練，可以協助學生立即投入相關就業工作；而設計與美學的實驗與討論，更可提供未來高階研究的學理準備。

本課程考量學生的多元需求分作2組，學生可任選1組。（1）實作組：學習動畫影象處理與其數位技術、創作管理，證明你的創意與作品能力。

（2）理論組：動畫影象設計、數位文創的知識，培養品析的能力，為未來留下機會。 

This course addresses the effective use of emerging technology in Digital Cultural Content Creation including: versatile digital publishing, digital imaging, animation, video, website design, web community development, and media production management. As a specific objective, we emphasize to cap off a team project more than an individual task.

This course takes account of the inter-discipline of humanities and information technology through media application. The learning method focuses on problem solving oriented approach. The learning activity designates a hands-on assignment and requires a complete output in the form of publishable presentation.

This assignment may be collaborated by students from different campus, even different countries. It will be the first step for accessing the virtual integrated campus and the virtual international interactive classrooms. It will also be the leading experiment on developing remote group-work model of project management. Students will experience the roles of both vertical and horizontal integration of the project. They will touch the holistic sprit and process of a real project and raise the confidence to organize and guide a team.

All assignments will be published on the web-based magazine "College Youth Web Magazine" also known as "GreenCot".

There are various applications categorized by the output of digital contents:

1. Electronic Publishing, Desk Top Publishing (DTP), Corporate Publishing, and portable document: they are hard copies prepared by information technology.

2. CD-book, CD-magazine, multimedia  title (such as computer slide show) and document: they are electronic files authored by various types of software and stored in CD-based or mass storage media.

3. Web Publishing, webpage, website, and web community: they are not necessary to have a local storage; they are virtual interaction in the cyber world.

4. Extended forms from web-based media, such as E-book, E-magazine, which use specific player instead of PC.

5. Mobile media.

6. Digital TV: an emerging media.

The second semester of this course will focus on the third application, video and 3-D media. Prerequisite of the training of the previous two applications, static graphics and 2-D animated media in the first semester is required for the students who want to take this course. (*Students who skips the first semester must study the fundamental skills by themselves.)

This course designates triple goals: design, technology and management.

DESIGN. We will introduce "TX's theory on Digital Aesthetics" to explore what are the tips of successful media design. The answer will be "Style and Formation". The class also will learn "TX"s theory on Process Engineering" to accomplish the media design practice in professional, longitudinal, large-scaled, portable and group work requirements.

TECHNOLOGY. This course will illuminate the concept of "tool independency". We will explain and reason the technology more than demonstrate the techniques. The knowledge of this course can be applied to any software. The teacher will guide to use tools in editing text, graphic, image, animation, video, sound, music and web. This course also will employ peripherals and production equipment such as digital camera, digital video recorder, MIDI…etc. The teaching of advanced tools will be decided by the progress of students』 assignment.

MANAGEMENT. Management is a work more than words. Students will have good opportunity to experience the implication of goal, method, and action in management during the assignment of this course. They can learn what is planning and implementation, teamwork and integration, production and marketing. During the group work they will really touch what is communication and negotiation, one for all and all for one, incentive and checking assessment, leadership and the preparation from a team player. The teacher will also emphasize the ideas of market, risk, budgeting, profit and the media as business. form pluralistic majors to enlighten and encourage each other. This course is engaging students who can take care of the whole thing and can look out the future.

Enjoy the course!

二、授課方式Meeting and Counseling

1. Class meeting and Hand-on practice. Since this course has a thorough continuity in course design, students should avoid to miss any topic of the learning chain.

2. Individual counseling: Tue.-Thur. afternoon by appointment. Extra-hour counseling may be available, if it is for volunteering learning activity.

3. Telephone counseling: (02)2236-8225 Ext.63347, 0921807365

4. Email counseling: txwu@ntu.edu.tw

5. Online counseling: http://tx.shu.edu.tw
