Animation is a series of still images that change over time to give the illusion of life.
If you’ve ever seen a flip book, you’ve seen animation.
Yes, this is animation in one of its most basic forms.
So first and foremost, animation is an art.
It’s a very young art and its crazy easy to start learning today.
But it’s also extremely challenging to animate well.
Especially, if you want to get paychecks for it.
In fact it’s probably more complicated than any other art.
Why?
You’re not just creating traditional art with still images, but you are also manipulating time, mimicking real movement in slow motion, acting through body language, and you’re telling a compelling story.
Whew. That’s a lot!
How do you actually go about making all that without being overwhelmed?
How do you animate?
