Start by getting to know Becho and Mab as they give you a tour of their influences and some of their personal projects, from their earliest endeavors to their most recent ones, like Can Can Club.
Build a solid foundation before you start animating by creating a functional workspace, both analog and digital. Mab and Becho guide you as you put together your set and install the software you need to bring your animations to life, revealing their top tips to help you make the most of these resources.
Then, it's time for action. Tackle some hands-on animation exercises to learn to add a sense of weight to your objects, making them bounce, morph, and move with a life of their own. Begin by working in a 2D environment first, and then dive deep into 3D animation to take your skills to the next level.
Sit back and watch what you've created from scratch—a dynamic animation brimming with life and movement.

Amazing course!

Najpierw mówią o narzędziach - ok. Potem koło 2 godzin pokazują krok po kroku przesuwanie kulki i plastelinowego ludzika. Dałoby radę dać to w 20 min...
W trakcie ludzik skacze więc jest podstawka. Byłam ciekawa jak zniknie. A oni "a teraz tak wygląda gotowy film" (z podstawką w tle). dziękujemy.
I w kolejnym "a tak wygląda po usunięciu podstawki i dodaniu dźwięków w postprodukcji"
To bardziej to potrzebne - jak usunac to z filmu/zdjec. A tego brak.
