Who is this class for?

The class is aimed towards beginner or intermediate animators with some prior experience animating traditionally. It's a great class for new animators wanting to learn their first animated effects, or for more experienced animators looking to spice up their work or learn a new skill they haven't had time to learn yet. Even film editors and content creators can use these techniques to add cool effects to their live action work.

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 Photoshop
Rough animator (iPad)
Calipeg (iPad)
Flipaclip (Apple/Android)
