{"product_id":"animation-overview","title":"Animation Tasting Menu","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnimation Tasting Menu will cover the fundamentals of motion and how you can apply those foundations to a variety of animation techniques. Over four weeks we’ll sort through the various types of animation and why you might choose one over another.

Although you won't necessarily leave this class with the skills and abilities to animate your dream project, this class aims to give you the basic terms, foundational knowledge, and paths you can follow to start you on your animation journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnimation Tasting Menu aims to meet you where you are, whether you\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e’\u003c\/span\u003eve never animated anything before, or maybe you\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e’\u003c\/span\u003eve animated in one medium and are looking to expand your methods and techniques toolkit. We'll answer questions like: “Why would I use keyframes over drawing each frame?” “How does my animation get that wiggly thing with the lines?” “How can I animate my illustrations?” “What software should I use?” “Why does my animation look so unnatural?” and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCome to this class with examples of Instagram clips, movies, UI animations, Dribbble shots, commercials or any other piece of animated content and we\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e’\u003c\/span\u003ell discuss what methods the artist(s) probably used to create the works and what you need to do to create work in a similar style. The aim of this class is to give you a sturdy foundation on all the options you have for animation and from there you can choose to specialize and flourish with knowledge of where to go next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4 Weeks\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAsynchronous weekly lectures with a vibrant community on Slack\u003cbr\u003eApril 20 – May 11\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/index-space.org\/pages\/meet-sam-our-spring-artist-in-residence\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/index-space.org\/pages\/meet-sam-our-spring-artist-in-residence\"\u003eArtwork by Sam Jaramillo\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eInstructor Bio\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/7482\/2324\/files\/img_6799_720_480x480.png?v=1616431081\" alt=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/7482\/2324\/files\/img_6799_720_480x480.png?v=1616431081\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElliot is an animator, artist, and illustrator.
