ANIMATION WALK-THROUGHS
Build these animations for your portfolio as you are guided by highly effective walk-throughs. These hand-picked tutorial series are designed to introduce you to the animation principles gradually. Each exercise is broken into digestible videos to follow at your own pace.
1) PARTICLE SWARM
The best exercise for first-time animators. It teaches very important animation principles. You can build your own swarm animation within the first hour of picking up the pen! No drawing experience needed.
2) BOUNCING BALL
One of the most important animation exercises. I break down this well-known animation exercise to show you the principles and processes behind it - plus I let you in on some of my own special techniques!
3) CHARACTER WALK CYCLE
Walk cycles are notoriously difficult to get right in animation - I show you how to apply the Disney principles in a sequence of easy steps.
4) TURN AND AIM
We take an action shot all the way through from concept to final render, revealing extremely useful principles and techniques along the way.
