Interview with

Game Animator Musong Lee

Question.01

What is the purpose of this class and what should students take away from it?

I designed the curriculum of this class to naturally build a solid understanding of game animation for complete beginners. Beginners should start with the basics and progress step-by-step, rather than diving into advanced motions right away. The class includes short, manageable lectures to facilitate repetitive learning. In the early stages of the class, you'll solidify basic concepts before diving into the details of various motions.

Question.02

What are the instructor’s strengths in conducting this class?

My strength lies in my 15 years of teaching experience and my ability to help students overcome difficulties and succeed in finding employment. Having closely observed students over the years, I am well-acquainted with where beginners, especially non-majors, typically struggle and what content is both necessary and practically helpful.

Question.03

What do you think students will gain from this class?

I believe this class will offer beginners a chance to overcome the challenges of learning game animation and adapt quickly. Those who have been self-studying game animation will have the opportunity to solidify and reinforce any basics they may have missed.
