    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?

Basics

We'll start by getting into the world of animation filmmaking. We'll talk about why you should make a film, how to come up with ideas and go over the different programs used in the course.

Pre-Production

We'll start working on making the film by going over the script-writing process, making storyboards for the film, and using them to create an animatic.

Production

Moving on to production, we'll go over the 3D pipeline, and then talk about modeling, rigging, animation, texturing, lighting, rendering, 3D cameras, voice acting, and creating a previsualization (previz).

Post-Production

After production is done, we'll move on to post and talk about editing, color correction, grading, sound design, and music.

Marketing

When our movie is done, we'll cover creating marketing materials such as posters, a trailer, and a press kit. We'll also talk about submitting to festivals and creating a portfolio website for yourself and your film.
