Another After Effects Session

Now this one was REALLY useful. I learnt how to animate characters using layers and anchor points. I created a very simple movement of a skeleton waving, but just by doing this i learnt the importance of 'parenting' and how useful this technique can be. It makes movement so much easier! This is definitely something i am going to consider using for my final animation.


I also learnt a few other tricks. This one in the video below creates the illusion that a line is being drawn, which opens up a new way i could animate. Maybe the setting or characters could draw themselves?




I am looking forward to getting my hands on After Effects with my own imagery to create an amazing animation!
