美國本科動畫專業(yè)介紹

專業(yè)簡介

動畫是通過把人物的表情、動作、變化等分解后畫成許多動作瞬間的畫幅，再用攝影機(jī)連續(xù)拍攝成一系列畫面，給視覺造成連續(xù)變化的圖畫。它的基本原理與電影、電視一樣，都是視覺暫留原理。醫(yī)學(xué)證明人類具有“視覺暫留”的特性，人的眼睛看到一幅畫或一個物體后，在0.34秒內(nèi)不會消失。利用這一原理，在一幅畫還沒有消失前播放下一幅畫，就會給人造成一種流暢的視覺變化效果。

就業(yè)前景

畢業(yè)后可從事動畫師、多媒體藝術(shù)家以及產(chǎn)品設(shè)計等職業(yè)。

2018年美國動畫專業(yè)本科畢業(yè)生年收入中位數(shù)72,520美元，同期美國各行業(yè)年收入中位數(shù)為38,640美元。
