SOCIALMATION short courses ~ with Tony White.
Take your TICTOK, INSTAGRAM REELS and YOUTUBE SHORTS animation to the next level!
With the publishing of his new "ANIMATION MASTERCLASSES from Pencils to Pixels", veteran animator, Tony White, has been described as the "New Old Man of Animation". Now Tony turns his attention to social media animation - which can be both amazing and sadly awful at the same time.
As a result, Tony will take everything he has learned, in over 5 decades of award-winning animation, to coach students on how to take your own animated ideas to the next level. That way, your animation ideas will really stand out on the social media of your choice - whether it be TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, or wherever.
The wonderful thing about this course is that you bring your ideas, you bring your designs and you bring your audio tracks to work with. Then Tony will show you how you can animate them all and make them professional looking. It is almost as if you will be apprenticing with one of the finest master animators around. Through his wise guidance, perhaps you too can be one of the new Master Animators of today's social media animation!
Once a student has enrolled, the will be allocated a private online classroom when they can post their work with other students, after each online 2-hour class. Tony will respond on a personal level in both the classroom and out of the classroom - critiquing and mentoring student work at all times throughout the course. Additional instructional videos and animation demos will be posted into the classroom too - giving all students access to private teaching, not available anywhere else, except to students of Tony's longer-form masterclass courses.

IDEAS
Your ideas for a social media video can be anything you like. For example, you could tell us a joke. It could be a happy - or sad - moment in your life. It could be a tribute to your favorite singer or band. It could be what an alien would say to you, if you ever met one - or what you might say to it. It could be an inspirational piece to tell the world about an important transformative cause or mission you're on. It could even be you as your Zodiac Sign. If you can think it, you can draw it. And if you draw it, you can certainly animate it! So, surprise us where your imagination can take you - and we'll surprise you in showing you just how well you can animate your idea!
