Understand Professional Animation Workflows in Our 2D Animation Course
All animated movies, TV series, videos, commercials, and shorts start with a set of pre-conceived illustrations intended to move, convey feelings, and tell stories. In contrast to regular drawings, 2D animation involves the knowledge of such elements as timing, acting, expressions, body mechanics, visual consistency, and scene arrangement on the part of the artists.
Our 2D Animation classes cover all aspects of the animation creation process used in the entertainment, education, advertising, and digital media industries. It includes character design, storyboarding, scene planning, animation development from key frames, in-between animation, timing, and performance-based animation.
Our students are involved in animation tasks, but not in separate drawing activities. Students create animations of scenarios, character actions, storyboarding, motion-based material, and production-type activities that they would actually find in an animation studio. Using practical activities, students learn about the processes involved in animated movies, TV programmes, digital advertisements, educational material, internet content, and entertainment materials.
