Animation is on the rise. Whether in Brazil or abroad, this field of Digital Art is one of the most promising for those who wish to work with studios, production companies, TV networks, and entertainment platforms. And for good reason: streaming platforms need to constantly create new productions for their subscribers; in the advertising world, agencies work in partnership with freelancers and studios capable of bringing their campaigns to life; the multimillion-dollar film and gaming industries also continue to thrive, attracting artists from around the world each year to contribute to their blockbuster productions.
In this context, the 2D Character Animation course emerges as an excellent option for artists who want to work in this field, and more than that, who want to stand out in a growing market.
About the Course: 2D Character Animation
“Kaeru” is the romanized writing of a Japanese word that can mean “return” and also “frog,” and in this culture, frogs are considered symbols that prosperity and fortune will return where there are frogs. The project idea came from Instructors Katan Walker and Gabriel Agustin Freire, inspired by the animation culture of Studio Ghibli.
In this course, you will follow a complete production process of an animation film and learn about the different stages included in 2D Character Animation.
Instructor Gabriel Agustin will break down the principles of animation and demonstrate their application. Emphasizing collaborative work, he teaches you to bring a character to life, placing it in context to give more life to your story, and a foundation for creating a background setting.
To put your character in motion, you will use software like Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effects, and Adobe Animate. Gabriel discusses the different types of animation: traditional, cut-out, and interpolated, and also teaches key concepts, organizational tools, and tricks that will facilitate your journey to creating your own animation.
