Course Description

This course is divided in 3 parts: Theory (Secrets to do awesome animation with no drawing skills, and how to make interesting characters no matter how simple they look) Rigging (A series of tutorials that teaches you how to rig a character step by step) Animation (Another series of tutorials that teaches you how to animate body language for simple characters) There are a couple of things you need to understand to achieve simple animations. Shapes Body Language Emotional Expression Character Relationships What makes a good story And for your character, you only need a Body, Arms, Legs and a Mouth. Eyes are optional.
If a simple circle has personality, people will watch it.
Our personal purpose is to help anyone interested in Animation to start practicing with little projects, simple Characters, and most of all, explore the expressiveness of their Body Language and Character Acting.
Many people seldom to start learning 2D animation because they are convinced that you need to know how to draw. While drawing skills can help you to improve, that is not the essential skill to do animation. For animation you need to understand the most basic principles in animation, like timing, anticipation, pose to pose.
Concepts that Thomas and Johnson, 2 of the animation masters in Disney talk about in their famous book, Illusion of Life.
This course puts those basic concepts into practice and also explains step by step how to achieve great body language when a character is talking.

By Erik Bredthauer on 6/19/2020

Missing key materials. More of a show, not tell. Too many advanced topics glossed over.

By Ozi Turker Koseoglu on 5/10/2020

Please don't buy this course, I couldn't watch after the first half of it because it's the most boring course I've ever bought. It teaches nothing and the concepts its mentioning are too basic and they over explain it with giving way more examples than anyone ever needs. I'm very sorry about the time I spent with this course.

By Heba Essam on 4/16/2020

yes

By Stephanie Arjona on 4/12/2020

I like how you are explaining the logic behind creating characters. I am just anxious in creating it.

By Melissa Repsch on 4/5/2020

It's very in-depth and is amazing for people that have never done any animation before. I won't give it a five-star because the course doesn't specify the end result so i made second character on a tight schedule without even needing it.
