This course will get you started in animation. There will be some practical exercises too and I hope we will have fun doing them. My goal is to help you understand the whole process that is involved in creating an animation movie. With time I have acknowledged that learning a specific animation program is useless if you dont have the ground basis of animation. Thats why I have decided not to teach specific animation program but things that will be useful and will make it easier for you to learn any software of your choice. At the end of the course you will not only be able to make an animation movie of your own, but you will understand the whole process that is involved in making it.I designed this course for beginners, but if you have a little bit of experience its ok too because there are also some advanced sections. The course is divided in 3 main sections:1. What is animation? Short history. You will understand a little bit about the concept of animation while you will briefly go through the history of animation and its most important figures. You will find out which are differences between the American and European animations in the early times.2. Telling a story The animation technique you want to use, as this will influence the story The storys script The story board Camera angle Framing Character design The set design Lighting The editing process The soundtrack Special effects3. Animation techniquesa. Stop motionb. Clay animationc. Cut out animationd. Computer generated animationAnd that being said, lets start the course, shall we?
