"Animating with OpenToonz" will cover everything an animator needs to know about OpenToonz, from setting it up, and all the basics, all the way to more complex techniques and tools that one can use to really let OpenToonz show its' power.

This is a very hands-on course, leaning more to the application of OpenToonz, rather than just all the theory of it. So the project that I take on, and encourage the animator to do to, is central to the course. In between every project video, there will be technical explanation videos that go through what we have just used in more detail. So even if the animator does not do the project, she will be able to follow all the technical theory that goes into the creation of the project.

It comes with downloads needed for the project plus some locomotion templates to make the animation of certain parts much easier.

The course covers:

1. Basics - installing, FF Mpeg, Tools and workplace windows etc.
2. Drawing - the 2 main methods; vectors & raster, and how to use them to the full
3. Animating - covering the various methods and techniques OpenToonz offers
4. FX - we dive into some of the methods we can use the powefull FX that OpenToonz is packed with.

The course is broken into a few sections;

1. Basics - covering all the basics you need to get going with OpenToonz
2. Scene 1 - we start creating straight away in Scene 1, from drawing to animating.
3. Scene 2 - the creation continues in a second scene, as we explore more of OpenToonz.
4. FX - we add a variety of special effects (FX) to the 2 scenes.
5. Finally we render the final video and put it together with sound effects to form a wonderful piece of animation.
6. In between each part of the creation and animation of this piece there will be videos on the specific part of OpenToonz that we are covering in that part of the creation or animation, so the student can see specifically and in more detail what we are using and how we are using it.
7. There will be a section at the end of each scene covering what we have learnt and what we have used, just to once again reinforce the tools of OpenToonz and how we have used them.

The course is available on at a 40% discount to it's anticipated price when it is 100% complete.

Completion should be mid to late 2024.
