A 4-module Diploma program, teaching how to make things move well, then make animated films once you can.
A 4-module Diploma program, teaching how to make things move well, then make animated films once you can.
This course is the flagship course of the 2D ACADEMY program. Through 4 x 12 week modules, acclaimed instructor, Tony White, takes students through all the core principles of animated movement they need to know - regardless of whether they plan to be traditional hand-drawn animators or not in the future. In Module 01 he covers the most important core principles of movement, using traditional hand-drawn techniques, then in Module 02, he takes students through more essential core principles of movement, using rigged 2D character techniques. For the latter, students will use the Moho software - the basic version of which issupplied free of charge to students. Then, when they are able to animate well in these first two modules, Tony will first take students through the essential Pre-Production stages of animated filmmaking in Module 03, then the time-proven "Production" processes in Module 04. Although some students already have a knowledge of animation and wish to study with Tony to take their work up to the next level, beginners will effectively start this unique Diploma program knowing nothing, then emerge at the end having made their own, personal, short animated film! No other online Diploma program offers this, at this level of education. Indeed, Tony earnest believes that the level of teaching is the equivalent of a college degree level, albeit taught in just 48 x 2-hour classes, one night a week.
