Filmmaking with Blender – Create Your Own Animated Short Film by Pascal Ferrère

Can I create my own animated film? If you ever asked yourself this question then this course if for you, because the answer is: Yes, you can!
In this course I’m going to explain step by step how I did it, I will give you all my filmmaking tips and tricks and I will show you all the files I created in order to complete the film. This course is for all levels and everyone interested in filmmaking skills and animation.

Together, we are going to see how to:

Find an idea for a film
Write a story
Define an Artistic Direction
Work on Character Design
Create an environment
Make a script
Build a storyboard
Organize the project
Start 3D modeling
Work on textures
Build a rig for your characters
Prepare the staging
Do the animation
Set up the lighting
Place the cameras
Render your images
Finalize the compositing
Enhance the project with music
By the end of this course you should have a good understanding about the pipeline, the resources and skills needed in order to make your own animated short film.

I will primarily use Blender which is an open-source 3D software, but this course is not about teaching you Blender.Being familiar with this software is definitely a plus but it is not required in order to follow the course.
