Getting Started
Lesson 1 of 4 Design for Production: Animation
Get ready to dive into animation as Michael shows you how to lay the foundation for a successful project. He’ll guide you through the various stages of production, and familiarize you with the tools you’ll be using along the way. Then you’ll get hands-on sourcing audio and building a boardomatic to plan out the full sequence.

Lesson 2
Working Toward an Animatic
Go through the first stages of 3D animation as Michael shows you how to build an animatic. Here, you’ll set up the project file and begin blocking out the camera and basic animation. Michael covers the importance of prototyping animation and leads through his complex problem solving process.

Lesson 3
Road to the Rough Cut
Now it’s time to apply what we’ve learned from prototyping to our active scene. Michael breaks down how to integrate components into the shot and animate additional elements. With our cameras and basic timing established, we can now add complexity back into the scene. Lastly, we’ll do lighting and render checks before we send off low sample outputs.

Finishing
For our final lesson, we pull together all the hard work in After Effects as Michael demonstrates his approach to multi-pass compositing. Topics range from importing and comp setup to keyframing light passes, setting up effects, and creating the final look. Finally we’ll cover exporting and assess the final product.
