What You Will Learn?
- Do you want to become an animator? To create epic, heavy monsters or tiny, cute creatures you need to understand how and why they move differently..
- If you get it right, your audience will believe that they have beings with a real physical presence in front of them..
- Weight in animation is tough to get right, but by practicing and building a solid foundation you are getting ready for even the most difficult challenges..
- This beginner course is the first step to truly master basic animation principles of physics and body mechanics..
- And we will not stop at the usual practice animations (the famous bouncing ball) like most beginner tutorials do. We will create a cool looping character animation to see the principles in action..
- This class will work you through a very organized animation workflow in a free, open-source 2D animation software called Open Toonz..
