The Fundamentals of Animation

New to 2D animation? Don’t worry! We start from the basics to help you understand the skills you need to produce simple animation. By the end of the class, you will get to learn different skills and theories to apply to an original animation.

You'll Learn

Object Properties in Animation

Discover how physics affects the world around us. The first thing you’ll need to know about your object of animation is it's properties, so you can make it move in a believable way.
Character Design for Animation

Learn to consider movement when designing characters. I will share how mechanical and aesthetic movements work and how to distinguish them. This will help you to avoid the pitfalls of character animations.
Design a Background for an Animation

The background tells a lot about your characters. Create original backgrounds for your animation, starting from abstract concepts such as atmosphere and colors to technical concepts such as perspective and detail.

Create a Scene & Tell a Story Through Animation

Create a sequence that perfectly fits your animation: from composition to camera work to pacing and editing.
Creating Energy and Flow With Editing

Figure out how editing is used to make actions understandable, present a clear flow and energy in your sequence and match your choice of shot to the atmosphere of your scene.
Perspective Animation

Understand the technical aspects of cinematic animation. Once we cover the basics of animation, we'll learn how to apply them in every situation and angle.

Interview
with 2D Animator HAVTZA

Question.01
Is there a specific reason why you chose this specific topic/themes?

I've received many questions on my socials about my work and its process, but I've never gotten the chance to answer their questions. This class serves as a collection of answers to the questions I've always been asked. This class will teach you everything you need to know to create your own worlds and stories!

Question.02
What makes your class different from other classes?

I believe that indie animation production is different from studio production. It doesn't hurt to have a specialization, but you first need to be a generalist. With my class, you'll learn about the entire production line for independent animators, and how to be efficient and work professionally with a cheap and mobile setup.

Question.03
Please share your thoughts on the job market of the industry

The animation industry is big, competitive, and constantly changing. It sounds frightening, but it’s actually very interesting and exciting! As an animator, you will work on projects with people from all over the world, and as a freelancer and independent creator, you will have the freedom to work from anywhere you want!

Question.04
What is "go-to" or "must-have" tools in your industry, and why?

In animation, the most important thing is to have a good understanding of the basics. Every studio and production will have its own software preferences and modified production lines, be it Paper, Adobe Suite, Blender, CSP, and my usual choice, FlipaClip and Procreate. As long as you have the basics down, you can use all of them with minimal modification

Required Programs

This course will use FlipaClip and Procreate (version 5 and up) Please purchase and install these program(s) for an optimized lecture experience.
