What will I learn?
You will start by mastering the 12 principles of animation and building a solid understanding of anatomy, timing, and spacing. From there, you will gain hands-on experience with professional 3D software, character rigs, and the full production pipeline. You will animate walk cycles, physical interactions, and emotionally driven dialogue shots using real acting techniques. The course also covers facial animation, creature locomotion, motion capture cleanup, and game-ready asset creation. By the end, you will know how to self-critique your work, incorporate director feedback, and present a demo reel that gets you hired.
