Can I create my own animated film? If you ever asked yourself this question then this course if for you, because the answer is: Yes, you can!
It took me 8 months to create my own animated short film using Blender. The film is called Tikka and you can take a look at it on YouTube:
In this course I'm going to explain step by step how I did it, I will give you all my filmmaking tips and tricks and I will show you all the files I created in order to complete the film. This course is for all levels and everyone interested in filmmaking skills and animation.
Together, we are going to see how to:
- Find an idea for a film
- Write a story
- Define an Artistic Direction
- Work on Character Design
- Create an environment
- Make a script
- Build a storyboard
- Organize the project
- Start 3D modeling
- Work on textures
- Build a rig for your characters
- Prepare the staging
- Do the animation
- Set up the lighting
- Place the cameras
- Render your images
- Finalize the compositing
- Enhance the project with music
By the end of this course you should have a good understanding about the pipeline, the resources and skills needed in order to make your own animated short film.
I will primarily use Blender which is an open-source 3D software, but this course is not about teaching you Blender.Being familiar with this software is definitely a plus but it is not required in order to follow the course.
