    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?

Complete Blender Workflow
We’ll begin by understanding the Blender interface, customizing our workspace, and learning to navigate and organize 3D scenes. From the very first steps to a fully rendered animation, you’ll see how everything connects within Blender’s powerful pipeline.
3D Modeling Foundations
You’ll learn how to create and edit 3D objects using Blender’s modeling tools. We start with polygon editing and modifiers, then explore efficient modeling techniques through simple exercises that gradually lead to more complex, real-world models.
Texturing, Lighting and Rendering
Bringing your models to life is all about the final look. You'll learn how to apply materials using the Principled BSDF shader, import image textures, create UV maps, and light your scenes for both stylized and realistic results using the EEVEE and Cycles render engines.
Animation Basics
You'll dive into the core principles of animation using Blender’s timeline, keyframes, and graph editor. We'll cover how to animate objects with realistic motion, adjust animation curves, and practice through exercises like the classic bouncing ball.
Final Project and Industry Prep
To conclude the course, we’ll bring together everything you've learned by creating a final animated scene. You'll animate and render your SNES controller project as a video file, ready for your portfolio or demo reel. By the end, you’ll be equipped with skills that match real- world industry workflows.
