Erik’s Credits
PROP DESIGN: FROM SKETCH TO SCREEN
Prop Design: From Sketch to Screen guides students through creating production-ready props from storyboard panels. Through lecture, demo, and hands-on assignments, you’ll learn to translate rough sketches into clear, functional, and visually appealing props that support storytelling and align with a show’s visual style. By the end of the workshop, you’ll gain the skills and confidence to design props that enhance scenes, reinforce world building, and meet professional animation standards.
