2D Action Animation Starter Pack course. Ready to take your first step into creating dynamic action scenes with 2D animation? Learn the basics of animation from start to finish as we cover every step of the process of creating action scenes. You’ll learn everything from parallax effects, backgrounds, hand-to-hand and weapon-based combat scenes, and more.
What you will learn
- Building a Foundation for 2D Action Animation: Get started with 2D animation by understanding the essential principles and techniques used in different scenarios. Expanding your horizons will be much easier once you learn the basics.
- Use interframes to your advantage: Understanding the spacing and position of interframes is critical to showing speed and weight. You can use this to your advantage and set any action to your desired speed.
- Character Movement Expansion: Your character’s movement is directly related to its personality, attitude, and form. Show what your character is with his actions, not say.
- Create original fight scenes: Add more characters to the scene and create some kind of interaction and coordinated combat with and without weapons. Create some kind of exchange and reference communication between the “giver” and the “receiver”.
- Add effects by implementing other elements: Use hit frames, dramatic effects, camera work and animated backgrounds to dramatize your fight scenes. Learn how and where to add these elements to specific scenarios in your animation.
- Finding inspiration for action: Composing action scenarios from the top is challenging, especially if they need to look anatomically and socially correct. Let’s explore a variety of resources to help you create dramatic fight scenes that your audience won’t be able to look away from.
