What will you learn?

Are you ready for the new advanced animation workshop?

The workshop is specifically focused on acting and appeal. Below, we will break down part of our agenda.

1

Find your character

In this quest, we will focus on finding the best possible audio to develop a memorable character. We will draw inspiration from the best actors to incorporate their essence into our shots.

2

Be credible and unique

It's time to record yourself and get a good reference to lay a solid foundation on which to build the shot. We will learn the keys to the character's internal process and focus on generating an honest performance.

3

Simplicity and Appeal

Expressions and poses with appeal will form the basis of our plan. We will focus on simplicity and learn not to stray from the model so that the character design retains its appeal.

4

Flexible workflow

We will learn tips to improve the workflow and become faster and more flexible. We will look at the keys to spline blocking and place special emphasis on the use of the spine and root so that the pixel is always alive.

5

Advanced facial animation

We will focus on the connectivity of the facial muscles, solid lip sync, adding micro-movements, and many more details that will make your character feel alive.

6

Professional Polishing

We will try to take your work to the highest level. We will learn how to generate breathing space to keep the character alive, we will see the importance of spacing in polishing, arcs, and when not to use them, and many more tips to ensure a professional finish to the shot.
