A practical structured course on combining frame-by-frame animation and After Effects. You will learn how to create frame-by-frame animation, add it to your motion design projects and create scenes full of captivating motion and characters.
Do you want to find your own style and create truly unique works? The best way to achieve this is by combining various techniques and tools! In this practical course merging traditional frame-by-frame animation and After Effects, we’re going to create 6 animated projects. Each project is focused on a different technique integrating frame-by-frame animation into your workflow. We will be taking a deep-dive into every step of the process, explaining all the decision-making that goes into merging these 2 different methods together. By combining the best elements of both worlds you will bring unique creatures to life focusing on the process and workflow.
So if you already have some basic knowledge of After Effects and Illustrator I’m inviting you to my animation magic classes.
6 lectures / 4h+
We’re covering the basics of frame-by-frame animation using Adobe Animate & integrating that with After Effects. We start to cover some of the basic principles to elevate your animations to the next level.
A walk and run cycle are staples of animation. They are so much quicker to make frame-by-frame and you can know if it is going to be effective after drawing only 2 frames. We’re going to experiment with pushing your breakdown poses to create a completely different mood.
Adding frame-by-frame effects can be one of the best ways to add interesting elements to your After Effects workflow. Here we break down the wave principle, which you can apply to hair, clothes, limbs and practically anything in motion to give it more life. Then use it to add smoke and flame effects to our animation.
Making flat 2D shapes appear 3D can be incredibly challenging. We’ll be breaking down the process and techniques to sell a believable 3D form and learn how to solve common challenges.
The most appealing aspect of animation is a smooth transforming animation.
Using all the skills learned in this course we’re going to apply them to complex animation, breaking it down into small manageable parts and building on each one.
In the final lesson, we are going to compile all the animations we have done during the course into one beautiful composition.
We will adjust the general dynamics, add animated textures and create a perfect loop to feel good.
