G'day ladies and gentlemen, I'm Jazza and I'm pleased to present to you my
Animation Foundation! we live in an exciting day and age
a new golden age for animation where anyone can be a one-person animation
studio, but along with a huge amount of opportunity that these different
technologies can provide animators there's a lot to navigate and it can be
very confusing especially for people starting off. Jazza's Animation Foundation
is a video course that spans over 10 hours and it takes viewers through
pivotal aspects of animation in great detail. At the beginning of the course I
explain how to create a character turn-around and how to use and apply
something like a character turnaround through the rest of the course. Then we
create something called an 'animatic', a simple version of what will be our
finished animation. The course also comes with a variety of examples from the
early animatic to the finished animation, demonstrating the usefulness of these
animatics. Then we create our animated scene using a variety of techniques.
I teach how to create simple and fun 'Tween' based animation and walk cycles
I also teach how to animate complex pose to pose key frame animation, in digestible
stages from the initial keyframe poses, to the motion breakdowns and how to
emphasize motion in your animation. And then we continue on through the stages of
solid drawing, creating in-betweens for your animation, applying color throughout and
finally, refining your animation with motion 'tweaks'. I also demonstrate all
of the steps of advanced frame-by-frame animation through the creation of a run
cycle and demonstrate what I like to call hybrid animation which is the
supplementing of tween animations with frame-by-frame animation techniques
which can help make your animations much more dynamic.
throughout the course I also refer to and demonstrate the use of "the Twelve
Principles of Animation" I explain what they are and show various ways in which
they can be applied to your animation. There's also an entire section of the course
dedicated to these 12 principles in detail and explaining them in isolation
my animation foundation course has been created to be usable by people who use
all different animation programs, whether you're using Adobe Flash, Toon Boom,
Anime Studio, or even traditional pencil on paper animation, the principles
and techniques throughout the course are able to be seamlessly applied to all
of these mediums. On top of all that the entire course has been painstakingly
transcribed so that means you can watch the course with English subtitles if
you're hearing impaired, or of course you can translate the subtitles into a
language other than English, if English is not your native language. The course
comes with instructions and video demonstration on how to do this and
apply it to your own native language. I've been an independent animator for
over a decade and have enjoyed creating animations and games over the years that
have been enjoyed by large audiences but the most valuable thing I've gained from
being an animator is the ability to learn to tell stories, and cultivate my
creativity with the versatile challenging and extremely fun medium
that is animation. I've put a huge amount of time and effort into this course to
make it as fun and enjoyable and clear as possible it's been a huge aim of
mine in creating this course to produce something that is valuable to both
beginners and experienced animators but at the same time I always strive to make
my products as affordable and accessible as possible so I've priced it at
basically the price of a good meal! "Jazza's Animation Foundation" aims to be a
tasty meal of education for you to enjoy and digest at your own pace without all
that messy excrement real food comes with...
and following that immature and out of place
fecal analogy, I'd like to thank you for your support and wish you luck
on your own animation adventure, and I hope that this product is valuable and
enjoyable to you!
Oh and also...
