Who is this class for?

The class is aimed towards anyone wanting to learn a quick way to add lightning and energy style effects to their work. It's a great class for beginner animators looking to learn how to animate their first effects, or for more experienced animators looking to spice up their work. Even film editors can use these techniques to add cool effects to their live action work!

How to animate static electricity

A digital animation program is required for the class, preferably Adobe Animate. You'll also need a form of digital drawing tablet. A mouse will work but it will make the process a lot harder. An iPad with an animation app also works great.

Recommended apps and software:

Adobe Animate
Adobe Photoshop
Rough animator (iPad)
Calipeg (iPad)
