2D Character Animation: Dialogue and Acting

This is the third course in a series about learning 2D animation. These are my first two animation courses.

• Animation Principles

• 2d Animation: Walk Cycles

The first two courses in the series are for beginners to animation. They will teach you how to set key frames and how to use animation principles. This course is focused on how to rig and animated a character for dialogue. You will be able to animate a character for dialogue to a short audio clip and can perform smooth acting poses.

• You'll start by learning the correct order of rigging, and how to create a basic character in Adobe Animate.

• You'll then learn how to take your assets, create multiple frame options within each one, and use them to make facial expressions and eye blinks.

• Then you'll learn all about animation mouth chart. I'll show how to make your own and place them inside your character. When it comes to animating, you can use Adobe Animate’s powerful Frame Picker to speed up your dialogue scenes.

• This allows you to save time and allow you to concentrate on the fun part of animating: setting up big acting poses.

• Next, you'll learn how to make any key pose flow like a natural movement. These three steps will help you set your anticipation, overshoot, settle, and explain why you should animate.

You will have the opportunity to complete assignments as you move through the course. This will help you to make sure that you are able to complete the final project.
