Unlock Lifetime Access to Recordings & Discord from Last Term!​

Animation is a limitless medium for storytelling and artistic expression. In this 8-week course, Michael will guide students through the fundamentals of animation, explaining why these principles matter and how they shape expressive, compelling motion.

We’ll explore masterful examples of animation, analyze their techniques, and apply these lessons to animate our own ideas!

What You’ll Learn​

This class primarily focuses on animation fundamentals, theory, and approaches (software-agnostic). However, we won’t ignore the technical side of animation!

Michael will provide:
Software recommendations & resources
A cheat sheet for universal animation vocabulary
Weekly 1-hour "office hours" for software-related questions (Covering Procreate Dreams, Adobe Animate, Photoshop, and After Effects)

I’m interested but only if we get the files directly :( because the player is terrible.

If we buy the class ourselves (4 people) and share with the group could that work?

edit: Sorry I don’t know how to tag admins, can someone ask them?
