Rewind, Play, Fast Forward: Animation and Game Design at FIT and Beyond

The exhibition surveys works created in NYC and beyond, showing how storytelling appears in animation, where a storyline can take on a linear structure, and in game design, where players shape the story themselves. On display are a wide variety of game and animation art, concept and character designs, and games to play, along with a special guest exhibition of world-class work from Hornet, an NYC-based animation studio that produces all forms of commercial work, including stop-motion and computer-generated animation. At FIT, students in the Illustration BFA program can specialize in design for animation and games, where they learn about concept art and character design to understand how characters and sets work together to create worlds and tell stories. Students in the Animation, Interactive Media, & Game Design BFA program take the process from design to completion, adding movement, sound, and/or gameplay. Alumni of both programs have gone on to work for renowned studios, including DreamWorks, NBC Universal, Disney, and Titmouse, where they continue to create character designs, concept art, and animation for popular shows. Others have formed their own game and animation companies. < Fast Forward>> is curated by Dan Shefelman, chair, Illustration and Interactive Media, and organized by the Department of Illustration and Interactive Media.
