Characters in Motion
Every great animation begins with a solid understanding of weight, balance, and timing. These essential principles must be mastered before performance and personality can be layered into a character.This course explores the fundamentals of character movement and establishes a strong foundation for everything you animate. From a bouncing ball to a full acting shot, believable motion is what brings a character to life and allows an audience to connect with the performance.
Throughout this 12-week course, you will complete a variety of assignments designed to develop your understanding of convincing movement. You will refine essential skills such as strong posing, overlapping action, weight transfer, balance, timing, arcs, and visual appeal. By the end of the course, you will have the confidence and practical knowledge needed to approach a wide range of character animation scenes.
