Animation for 15 -17 Year Olds - Nottingham Trent University
Description
This course will provide you with an introduction to digital animation and 2D rigging using ToonBoom Harmony and Wacom Cintiq tablets. You can have little or no previous animation knowledge to attend and still achieve great results. During this course, you will: • learn the fundamentals of animation including timing and spacing • create animated ball bounces and other hand-drawn exercises • create character turnarounds • use that character turnaround to create a 2D rig • build your own short animation using your rig with your own creative touch! By the end of the course, you will have a good understanding of ToonBoom Harmony and its capabilities, and you will have produced a series of short projects that demonstrate your new skills in making crazy animated characters. Tutor profile: Molly-Ann Marsh specialises in 2D hand drawn and rigged animation, as well as 2D rigging in ToonBoom Harmony. She has been lecturing at Nottingham Trent University for the last 3 years, specifically introducing the students to ToonBoom for the first time, teaching them to rig and animate with the goal of creating a short, finished animation. Before this, Molly-Ann made an animated short film in the software titled “Chrysalis”, all about their struggles growing up as a creative ADHD teenager, trying to get artistic projects done. The film has since been to multiple film festivals.
