COURSE REQUIREMENTS

These are more like recommendations. No one will be turned away, but following these recommendations will help you to get the most out of the course.

Animation Software

  • This course does not teach software. Sometimes you might need to adapt your approach if you don’t have TVPaint.
  • The best software to use with this course is TVPaint (because that’s what I use), but other inferior software will be sufficient. These are mostly frame-by-frame principles.
  • My pipeline after the animation phase includes Adobe Photoshop (for backgrounds), After effects (for compositing) and Premiere (for sound and final edit). There will be times in the course when I show you how I use this extra software.

A Working Graphics Tablet

  • You are expected to have a ​working graphics tablet. Any will do.

Basic Drawing Ability

  • These Basic drawing fundamentals are taught in my previous course. We also have a refresher seminar inside Mastering Motion to help you remember.

Understand the 12 Principles

  • A rudimentary understanding is helpful to get the most out of the lessons. there is a  refresher seminar inside Mastering Motion to help you remember
