    Introduction to Stop-Motion Animation

    We’ll start by going over the basic principles of stop motion. What you'll need to set up a proper stop-motion environment, as well as a quick overview of Dragonframe - the industry standard program for stop-motion animation.

    Setting Up a Scene

    After we understand the basics of how stop motion works, we'll go over connecting and setting up a camera, as well as how to light our scene. Then we'll build a set for our animation sequence, and construct a clay character from scratch.

    Animating a Scene

    When our assets are ready, we'll get into animating all the shots for our sequence. We'll use Dragonframe's planning tools, audio tools, onion skinning & toggling, and even lip-syncing.

    Exporting & Post-Production

    When our animation is ready, we'll learn how to export our images from Dragonframe into an editing program such as Premiere, and learn how to use After Effects for rig removal and working with RAW files.

What will you learn?

Animation Process

We’ll start by reviewing Alan's complete workflow for producing his animated videos for YouTube. He'll cover planning, writing, storyboarding, animation, creating assets and background, sound design, editing and exporting.

Adobe Animate Essential Tools

Before we get to making an entire animation using Animate CC, we'll briefly cover some of the tools used in the demo so you can follow along.

Making an Animator vs. Animation Short

Alan produced a 30-second short in the traditional Animator vs. Animation style, and we'll get to watch the entire process broken down into 20 lessons. The final project file is included and available to download.

Becoming an Animator on YouTube

After sharing everything he knows about making animation, Alan will expand on the realities of being an animator, and a YouTuber. He'll talk about what you should know when starting on YouTube, monetization methods, and growing your channel.
