UC Berkeley Undergraduate Graphics Group is a
casual bunch of students at Berkeley who think the fusion of
technology, art and entertainment increasingly possible today is
pretty darn cool,
and an area where our university lacks in available coursework.
Therefore we're teaching a class through the DeCal (Democratic
Education at Cal) program to introduce our fellow students to the
process of producing an animated short film.
We guide them through
creating a
compelling story, collaborating in teams to bring their vision to life using the
Autodesk Maya software,
introduce speakers from companies like Pixar, Tippet Studios and
Dreamworks, and finally celebrate our finished shorts with a film
festival and (of course)
free pizza. The great thing
about UCBUGG is that taking our class isn't the end; we invite you to
jump back in and join us working on advanced projects and teaching your
passion to another generation of UCBUGGers.
