Animation Foundations Course

As animators, we’ve designed this course to be tailored specifically for aspiring animators. No previous animation experience needed. This course has been the missing piece from our course library, and it’ll help you get over any concerns you had about learning animation on your own. After taking this course you’ll be able to implement what you’ve learned in any animation style you choose: 2D, 3D, and even stop motion.

What will you learn?

We’ll start off by covering our bases, going through all the different types of animation, as well as learn the vocabulary to make sure we’re all on the same page.

The 12 Principles of Animation
After understanding the basics, we’ll dig deep into the famous 12 Principles of Animation, established by old time Disney animators.

Animating a Scene
After understanding the theory and all the basic principles of animation, we’ll dive into animating a whole scene from start to finish. We’ll learn all the skills necessary, including how to shoot reference video, how to work in passes, how to work with cameras in your shots, and even learn some lip-syncing techniques and study walk cycles.
