I took this 11 week course in the Winter/Spring of 2022 under the instruction of Harvey Newman. I did suffer a bit from overestimating how much time during this course I would have to work on the assignments from the class. I had to move apartments and start a new job partway through the course, which ate into my time. Taking some extra time out of my weeks after the class, I managed to complete the course assignments.

A highlight of this course was creating a multi-hit combo/takedown animation for our main assignment. I really wanted to try out a shot that involved transferring a prop between the scene’s two subjects. As a stealth fan, I framed the shot in the context of a Splinter Cell-like stealth game. The protagonist alerts the enemy before a typical stealth takedown, leading to an improvised knockout with the enemy’s weapon.
