You can be an animator! Why don't you try? Improve your drawing skills. Watch great films.You can learn all the fundamentals of classic, hand drawn animation for sure. It will be fun & worth it.
This is a traditional drawing animation class for beginners. The exercises do NOT require advanced drawing abilities. Instead, they will be simple and you can be at a beginning level. The class starts at the beginning of drawing, with animating straight & curved lines, then the 3 basic forms of art: the sphere, cube, & cylinder.
We will animate objects, simple characters, animals, birds, fish, & visual effects, such as fire, water, & smoke.
Students will learn Disney's 12 principles of animation, laws of physics like gravity & principles of movie making. Students will also learn stop-motion and make their own short animated movies.
Students will also learn by viewing award-winning films from world cinema, such as Yugoslavia, Canada, Japan, USA, etc.
The animation software is Digicel Flipbook, used by all the top animation studios & colleges. I have used it professionally for 22 years. Go to: digicelinc.com to check it out. We have the professional version installed on the computers at Laney already.
