Description

What You'll Learn?

In the days of hand-drawn animation, a group of top Disney animators came together and defined twelve rules of animation that, when applied properly, would create amazing animation and an engaging experience for the audience. In 1981, Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston released a book titled 'The Illusion of Life: Disney Animation,' which detailed all 12 principles. Since then, animators around the world have studied and applied these techniques. Although they were originally created for hand-drawn animation, these 12 principles apply directly to our modern computer-generated animation. Whenever you set a keyframe in any application, you should be thinking of the 12 principles of animation. Software required: After Effects CS5.5.

Instructor's Courses

Along with creating and recording training, he also used to manage the support team and work closely with the production development team at Digital-Tutors, now a Pluralsight company. He began his career working freelance and quickly realized that he wanted to find a company where he could use his talents to help people succeed in the CG industry. Chris has likely watched more Pluralsight creative training than anyone on the planet, and its evidenced by his Einstein-sized brain and encyclopedic knowledge of all things computer graphics. One of Chris' favorite projects at Pluralsight has been his contribution to the 'Infiltrator' Production Pipeline Series: Compositing in NUKE. Chris' passion to pursue finding new and better ways to understand and use computer graphics drives him and his work.
