Pack starter After Effects Animate Character Animator

Description

After Effects

After Effects is a composition and visual effects tool. It allows you to create graphic animations for all media. It is the reference software for making animations. The possibilities are amazing with After Effects. It is compositing software, which means that it is based on the same bases as photo editing software such as Photoshop. To this we can add the creation of animations and the many possible effects. Animations work using a timescale and adding keyframes. It is then possible to modify the speed of the animations and keyframes.

Adobe Animate

Adobe animate is software for designing vector drawings and creating animation. Animating with Animate has never been so user friendly. Animate has two distinct parts, a design part with the creation of shapes, scenes or even characters with the different tools, and an animation part with a timeline, where it is possible to manage frames per second and much more. It is a very ergonomic software which allows to make simple animations for presentations, or for social networks, but which also allows to make much more advanced animations with the creation of characters and puppets.

Character Animator

Character Animator is a software  that allows you to make real time puppet animations. The power of Character Animator is the synchronization of movements in real time. Thanks to the camera, the software records your face movements in real time to adapt them to the puppet. It is therefore possible to make recordings of face movements on the puppet in real time. Character Animator doesn't stop there, it is possible to animate a whole puppet with all parts of the body, to make movements of arms, legs and more. It is also possible to add behaviors that improve the animations.

Training video

The goal is to start in the right conditions. The training will not give you an in depth course on the three softwares, but a solid foundation to get you started. Each time, we will work on the use of the dashboard, basic tools and the layer system. We will see how to use the timeline, make recordings or even animations. In After Effects, we will mainly see the use of different layers and the management of text and effects for basic animations. In Adobe Animate, we will work on the vector part and with a concrete example of character creation, step by step, to then create an animation of this character.
