Hi! I am interrupting my every-two-week timeline to announce that my full intro animation course is live on Hyperlink.Academy! It starts next Thursday, April 22 at 6pm EDT, meets once a week for 6 weeks and doesn't require any fancy software or materials, it's all about getting started animating using what you have.
I like to think of animation, especially stop-motion, as a form of reverting back to children playing with toys, and I want to encourage that sort of playfulness this class. I like using stop motion for beginners because it feels like the most accesible way to start animating, especially now that affordable photo sequencing software is more widely available than ever (we'll use Stop Motion Studio), and also most quickly connects to the sense of wonder sparked by seeing inanimated objects come to life. I'm not calling this a stop motion class for now, however, because I don't want the focus to be on a specific look that someone might think of when they hear "stop motion", but on the basic how-tos of recreating motion that applied to any software or style. But for now we'll be thinking only of using what we have easily available. How can I manipulate this thing it to create the effect of motion that I want?
