COURSE REQUIREMENTS
These are more like recommendations. No one will be turned away, but following these recommendations will help you to get the most out of the course.
Animation Software
- This course does not teach software. Sometimes you might need to adapt your approach if you don’t have TVPaint.
- The best software to use with this course is TVPaint (because that’s what I use), but other inferior software will be sufficient. These are mostly frame-by-frame principles.
- My pipeline after the animation phase includes Adobe Photoshop (for backgrounds), After effects (for compositing) and Premiere (for sound and final edit). There will be times in the course when I show you how I use this extra software.
A Working Graphics Tablet
- You are expected to have a working graphics tablet. Any will do.
Basic Drawing Ability
- These Basic drawing fundamentals are taught in my previous course. We also have a refresher seminar inside Mastering Motion to help you remember.
