What will you learn?

Basics

We’ll start 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 videos, how to work in passes, how to work with cameras in your shots, and even learn some lip-syncing techniques and study walk cycles.

Super detailed,
fast-paced.

We dislike long, drawn-out tutorials. We prefer bite-sized lessons with a clear, direct structure that gets straight to the point without losing important information.

Animation courses can get expensive.
