Summary and recommended materials.
DAY ONE :
1/ introduction to the action scene with camera movement animated by hand : From quick boarding to animation
- explanation of the principle behind the technicity : thinking the mise en scene + choosing the key for the action.
- variation between the perspectives : choosing a rhythm in the space (depht of the action, lateral variation of the camera angle)
- bonus : 3D to figure out the possibilities of the camera
2/ building the animation
- pacing intentions : quick transition between action and big slow motion on the dramatic moments : readability with the less frames possible.
- clear arcs to emphasize the readability of the action
I will explain all this by animating a quick and basic qshot with all the need to understand all the mechanics behind those type of animation.
it will be a file i will also give to the student with 3 layout keys, to help, them starting an exercise after, if they don't have any idea of what they could to practice what i explained.
3/ choosing with students an exercise that they want to do to practice
i will mainly focus on having something doable for them : if i see they are too ambitious, i will calm things done to focus on something less complicated to really make sure they will understand the logic they need to understand to reproduce and perfection those type of scenes.
DAY TWO :
1/ checking student exercice and correcting it
2/ depending on the time allowed, continuing my animation with secondary animation + Tie down
DAY THREE :
1/ checking and correcting student exercice and correcting it
2/ checking some showreel and portfolio of board/ animation to give them feedback and advice in general, on their practice of animation.
They will of course always be able to finish the animation and to send it to me even after the class, to give them last feedbacks etc.
*Frequent questions:
What happens if I can´t see the classes live one day?
No problem. All classes are live but will also be recorded and posted on our platform. So you can see them whenever you want throughout the duration of the course. This means that if you cannot attend your class live at the stipulated time, you will be able to see them on the platform until the end of the course. These video-classes posted on the platform can be viewed unlimitedly during the duration of the course, but they cannot be copied or downloaded. Recorded class can also be viewed for 6 mounths once the course is over.
When can I see the classes I did not attend live?
24-hour access to the virtual platform where you can consult all the information or documentation of the course, access all the classes that have already been taught or the proposed exercises. When, where and at the rate you want.
