Pencilbite studio is a student group dedicated to the creation, production, and presentation of an original short film from September - April.
Members of the studio will gain an understanding of the animation production process, learn different animation skills from visual development to compositing, and become more familiar with industry practices.
Production
Production will run from September to April. The fall semester will be used for pre-production planning (development to storyboard), and animation will start in the spring. There will be a low-key round of applications for each semester. No experience is necessary, but familiarity with the medium will be helpful. Creating a film in a limited amount of time is an ambitious undertaking, so we are looking for students that are passionate about animation and excited about working closely with a team of other artists.
For the 2024-2025 year, we will be working mainly with 2D, hand-drawn animation. More information about the project will be updated as it develops.
Other Events
Non-production related activities, like drawing sessions, movie nights, and speaker events will be open to everyone year-round. The goal of our studio is still to make animation accessible to any student, and to develop a community around art and animated film.
