Course Description

Have you ever had an idea, a story, or even a character that you wanted to see animated? Maybe youve even gotten as far as writing a story, or drawn out the characters. Well, now what do you do? Welcome to Learn Toon Boom Animate & How to Create Your Own Cartoons! In this course, Ill show you the essentials for creating your own animation, using the professional software, Toon Boom Animate 3.

In this course, you'll learn to:

Create, and animate your own 2D digital puppet! Animate your character, and even give them a simple walk cycle Make your scenes look complex, by using simple camera moves. Make your characters talk, using Toon Boom's automatic lipsync Add Photoshop, and Illustrator files to your animations and much, much more! Toon Boom is an industry leader in creating 2D animation software, and has been used for animating The Simpsons, Family Guy, Bobs Burgers, Sponge Bob Square Pants, and even Disneys The Frog Princess.

In 2D animation, there are basically 2 types of animation, full animation, also referred to as hand-drawn, or Disney animation, wherein each frame of animation is drawn think classic Bugs Bunny cartoons. The second type of 2D animation is called limited animation, also referred to as cut-out, or Flash animation most prime-time animation, The Simpsons, etc. use cut-out animation. The major focus of this course is cut-out animation, where we will create, rig, and animate a 2D digital puppet our main character, Bob.

For the traditional animator, Toon Boom software has the feeling of 2Danimation software, built for animators. Throughout the course, Ill be showing you the different tools and windows, all of which are based on traditional animation terms like pegs, fields, color cards, onionskin, light tables, and more.

For the more seasoned digital animator, if youre familiar with working with programs like Flash, throughout the course Ill be demonstrating how Toon Boom Animate differs and what makes it a powerful program. Just one example, Animate has a camera that works in 3D space. Imagine setting up a multiplane scene in just minutes, without you having to install any additional plugins or software!

The best part of this course? Even if you dont own Toon Boom Animate, you can download a FREE fully functioning demo. Toon Boom creates PLEs (Personal Learning Editions) for virtually all of their software.

So, if youre ready to learn how to animate, purchase this course and lets get started! Who this course is for:
This class is for you, if you are a traditional animator, looking to make the leap into digital animationOr if you're a digital animator, looking to learn a new & powerful animation pipelineIf you are already working in a production environment, using Toon Boom Animate, or Harmony, this class may be too basic for you.
