TUMO Yerevan students had the unique opportunity to work with all-star talents to produce their own 2D animated films and create sound design for them. With the help of Disney animated film director Arnab Chaudhuri, students learned traditional animation techniques using pencil and paper. Over the course of a few weeks, they drew storyboards for their ideas and developed them into classical, frame-by-frame, hand-drawn animations using their own characters. In a parallel lab, another group of students led by Eric Hachikian developed, composed, recorded and finalized the sound design for these animations.
