Photoshop Animation Information

This is a course for everyone!

Whether you’re a complete beginner and have never animated or opened Photoshop OR you already work in the world of illustration, motion-design, graphics and want to develop new 2D animation skills. We look at the software and principles in depth, before creating our own frame by frame animated project.

WHY PHOTOSHOP?

Photoshop is wonderful for animating because it is painterly and creative in a way that other software can’t match – the hand-made process really comes through.

The beauty of 2D animation (also called cel animation, frame by frame animation, hand-drawn animation) is that there are no limits. You aren’t restricted by physics, reality or fussy software. Your animations can be completely wild.

Learn how to…

Plan animations like a pro – discover the ways we prepare and test our ideas before we even begin animating, with storyboards, animatics and key frames.

Animate your own projects, experimenting with transitions and timing to create unexpected, captivating videos.

Save and render your animations for every medium or social platform. Upgrade your website, Instagram, email or business with animated content.
