You'll be learning how to animate an illustration using the composition supplied with the class whilst also adding animated elements of your own using the creative tools in After Effects.

The main illustration consists of three different characters with foreground and background elements that can all be animated. Whilst the movements you will be animating are essentially uncomplicated, this process will help you to get more familiar with keyframing and you will also learn about using effects, expressions, adding stylisation and much more as you progress.

This should provide you with enough confidence to move on to creating your own work or animating other people's once you have completed the class, whilst also providing you with the essential skills you will need to get to grips with After Effects. The aim of this project is to whet your appetite by giving you a little snapshot of the endless creative possibilities animation can provide.

I’ll also be sharing my own process and providing tips and tricks along the way.

If you have any questions or need help with a specific part of the class please do drop me a line at davidjknight244@gmail.com.

Please include a description of the issue your experiencing along with a short screen recording of the problem attached to the email.

You can screen record your issue using either ScreentoGif (if you're on a PC) or GiphyCapture (for Mac users) Both programs are free.

Good luck animating & don't forget to share your completed project on the Skillshare project gallery as well as Instagram!
