This class will walk you step by step through adding a fun layer of animated illustration onto a photographic portrait. This can be exported as a GIF straight from Photoshop (lessons 1-10), or students can also learn how to create a video file using the same assets in After Effects, so the video can be shared on social media. (lessons 11-14)

In addition to creating a cool and contemporary technique, you will learn some essential animation theory; how frame rates work and how to create ‘boiling’ loops.

The class is suitable for beginners who are new to the techniques and software, but those with some experience in design and animation might also want to learn a new technique and approach.

The class will provide a useful springboard and fresh perspective to anyone setting out on a moving image journey.

You will need to have Adobe Photoshop and After Effects Software installed, on either a computer with a graphics tablet input, or an integrated device like a Microsoft Surface. It is possible to use a mouse to draw if you have a steady hand!
