Teaching ★ JohnCarmody.com: Full Stack Development + Interactive Design + Teaching

Nearing 20 years @ 4 colleges & universities I've taught coding courses; design courses; audio/video post-production courses; animation; art history, & plenty more:

Front- and back-end development & design; graphic design & typography; WordPress; audio & video pre- and post-production...

...frame-by-frame animation; history of digital media culture; portfolio layout; book design, and more.

I use cutting-edge code and tools to show students how to create elegant, flexible designs using the latest and greatest industry-standard tools.

Both on campus and remotely, I teach graduate, undergraduate and professional students in many different courses in diverse academic disciplines.

Custom Description I Wrote For This Course:

Using “frame” as a metaphor for the relationship between sequence and simultaneity, Frame-By-Frame Animation delivers insight into the ongoing evolution of animated content as well as hands-on experience exploring time-based projects based on physical, digital & web media.

Custom Description I Wrote For This Course:

“Focusing on the animation, stop-motion and time-lapse work of Segundo de Chomón, Georges Méliès, Walt Disney, Ray Harryhausen, Jan Švankmajer, Terry Gilliam, James Cameron and PES, among others, I utilize still photos, text, clay, found objects, cut-out drawings and paint to introduce students to the principles and workflows for physical and digital frame-by-frame animation, including detailed storyboarding; audio editing and synchronization; lighting and much more.

The course assumes no prior animation, software, video, audio, lighting or photography experience.”
