One of the most fundamental aspects of any animation is the process of making breakdowns. How does a character go from point A to point B? In this course, our focus will be on the creative aspects, techniques and principles that fall into how we do in-betweens, such as arcs, overlaps, anticipations and many more. A crucial step in your path to becoming an animator.

A live experience in which you'll be able to follow along with the teacher, ask questions and resolves doubts at the moment and meet other artists who are part of our community.
