Animating with Toon Boom Animate
Tony Ross
Class Description
In this class, animator and trainer Tony Ross will walk you step-by-step through the process as he goes from a blank page, to rough sketches, to a final, cleaned up 2-D animated scene with a character, all in Toon Boom Animate. Tony sums up his workflow with a simple phrase: 1) Bake the cake first, and 2) frost it later (if there are eggshells in your batter, no one cares what kind of frosting it is)! That is to say, he animates with very rough designs to make sure the animation works, and then cleans everything up, just before completion. In addition, Tony reviews: • Intro to the software, Toon Boom Animate • Animation Basics & Principles • Cut-Out or Limited Animation • Character Design • Rigging 2-D Characters • Lip-sync & Tricks • Creating Backgrounds • Camera Shots & Movement • Sound and Foley • And, last but not least, Creating Your Own Cartoons
