Overview

About This ClassHere's a comprehensive guide for beginners in ANIMATION. You will learn the ANIMATIONPRINCIPLES you need to animate objects, text, and even characters. If you want to learnanimation from scratch, you can start right here with this course. I designed this course forbeginners, so if you've never heard of a keyframe or don't know what a timeline is, then thiscourse is for you. This course is Animation 101. I also believe this course will be excellent foranyone with a vague idea of animation, someone who is new to animation and uses softwareto move elements but truly wants to understand the fundamental principles to takeanimation to the next level.These fundamental animation principles will prepare you for a career in animation. You'll learnstep by step how to create realistic and engaging motion; moreover, you'll understand whycertain specific animation techniques effectively bring objects to life. And most importantly,you'll learn when to apply them to your work.In this course, I use Clip Studio to teach you animation. You'll study classic animation, frameby frame, hand-drawn. It's the best way to learn animation principles. And don't worry if youthink you can't draw, we'll work with basic shapes to animate - to breathe life into theseshapes.This course starts by teaching you how to animate with just keyframes; it will guide you step bystep to animating a character jumping. I've structured each lesson to be neither confusing noroverwhelming. As I've made applying the principles very simple, you'll have the opportunity totruly grasp the concepts without worrying about drawing skills, working with advancedsymbols, or complex structures.The course progresses towards two final projects. These are significant animation projects inany school or university program. In these projects, you'll transition from keyframes to asmooth, dynamic character animation. I want to ensure you feel confident to animate acomplex character animation with many moving parts when we reach the final project.What's covered in this course:Whether you eventually want to work in 3D, motion graphics, or 2D animation, you'll needto know things like:• Transitions between keyframes• How to create a smooth transition,• Why you need to do it - and when you should apply it.You'll also learn skills that will not only make you an animator but a truly proficient one - skillssuch as:• Timing and spacing• Stretching and squashing• Working in curved trajectories• Working with timelines• How to animate with anticipation, overshoot, and settle.
