Animation can be a complicated and confusing art form, but by using the process I explain in this class, you will find that you can focus on what you are animating, rather than how to animate it.

In this class we’ll cover:

• How to shoot reference effectively.


• How to setup Maya for an efficient animation workflow.


• An easy technique for Graph Editor success.


• What a Character Rig is and how to use one.


• The best way to block a performance.


• My process when taking that blocking into animation.


• What to look out for when polishing an action.

I’ll cover all of these topics as I animate a character performing a superhero stye three point landing. You’ll be able to watch and follow along as I show you every decision I make, and tell you my thoughts as I am doing so.
