Course Description

Animate characters you create with your web cam and automated lip sync in Adobe's Character Animator!

Motion capture puppets are great for:

explainer video animationsshort films + cartoonscommercialscreative live interactive charactersmotion comicsanything needing reusable characters - no need to redraw frames or set keyframes anytime a character moves!

We'll covermouth shapes, layer placement, syncing an audio track to lips or creating your own audio for your puppet to voice, adding physics for more life-like movement, creating custom puppets and even walk cycles.

This course utilizes Adobe Photoshop to build our puppets and files are exported to Adobe After Effects, so both programs are essential to using Character Animator effectively.

This is a highly effective way to create reusable characters for explainer videos, short film, music videos and other media. Who this course is for:
Beginning animators.
People with interest in motion capture programs.
Creatives looking for new means of self expression.

so far im very happy with the course.

By daniel Durruti Wloka on 10/27/2020

Compared to the build-in tutorial section of Character Animator the focus of this course is understanding the tools rather than showing off what the tools can do. For learning the program indepth this is a huge benefit

I have a day to make an animation. This is something I need in order to make that happen.

By Cheryl Fliege on 8/12/2020

Audio is not very good--dog barking in background. One section on the photo development of a puppet just ended abruptly without finishing the thought. This seems to be very stream of consciousness.

By Samrao on 7/18/2020

Characters used for example are not human. Most of the time, one is animating human beings. Not relevant. Disappointed

By Steven Levar on 7/18/2020

I loved this course so much! Davids instructions were super clear and easy to follow. Watching This instructors creativity, especially the background tutorial video was A+. I am so excited to begin this new and exciting journey. Thank you so much!
