Learn the 12 principles of frame-by-frame animation and bring your stories to life
Are you looking to get started in the world of traditional animation? All you need is a solid theoretical base and an experienced animator—like Rodrigo Miguel, better known as Numecaniq—to explain everything in detail. You may know him from his work for brands like Adobe, MTV, Spotify, Amazon, and Adult Swim, or from his course 2D Animation with Photoshop: drawing, camera and action! at Domestika.
In this online course, get to know the world of frame-by-frame animation using Photoshop to create eye-catching animations.
What will you learn in this online course?
Start by meeting Numecaniq, who tells you about how he got started, his motivations, and his focus within the world of animation. He also shows you some of his main influences, which inspire him to this day.
Learn about his discovery of the principles of animation and explore some of the greatest examples, as well as where the sector is heading.
Then, learn more about your work tool, Adobe Photoshop, and the easiest way to make animations with this software. In addition, learn about coloring methods, some useful extensions, and tips for exporting files.
Numecaniq explains the basic principles of animation, as well as the elements that make up an animated piece and how they interact.
Then, through a series of examples and exercises, dive into the 12 principles of frame-by-frame animation in two parts: first, the principles of design, and then, those of motion. Afterwards, go deeper into the third element: the concept. Learn some techniques to come up with a concept, and go over some examples of GIF series with a theme that you can use as a reference for your final project.
Now you can use all your newfound knowledge to create natural animations that are full of life.
What is this course’s project?
Make a series of GIFs by applying each of the principles of animation learned in the course.
Who is this online course for?
To designers, illustrators, drawing lovers, and anyone interested in entering the world of animation from the beginning.
