What will I learn?
You'll start with the 12 principles of animation and production terminology, then build draftsmanship skills for clean, on-model character drawing. From there, you'll set up professional digital workspaces, create keyframe animations, and produce walk and run cycles. You'll rig cutout characters, animate dialogue with accurate lip sync, and compose scenes using cinematographic staging techniques. The course also covers color, compositing, storyboarding, and emerging tools like AI-assisted inbetweening. By the end, you'll have the technical range and portfolio work to compete for real animation roles.
