Do you create 2D animation or study classic animation styles? In this course, instructor Dermot O’Connor gives professional insights on several historical styles. First, Dermot talks about the differences between a surface style of a period and reproducing the essence of it. Then he goes over the technical factors, animation methods, techniques, and post-production effects for 1920s rubber hose animation. Next, Dermot does the same for 1940’s Looney Toons style animation, 1960s TV animation, and 1980s Saturday morning cartoon animation. He concludes with a thorough comparison of Bluth and Disney animations in the 1970s and 1980s and how you can approach each style.
