What makes the difference? One is flat and doesn’t tell a story, while the other has dynamic timing and clear emotions. Even a head turn should show what your character is thinking and feeling during the action.
In this lesson, you’ll learn how to:
Turn a basic movement into a portfolio-ready shot
Add variety to your timing so your animation stays interesting instead of flat
Make clearer choices that improve your demo reel
We also address common questions, such as what to include in your demo reel and how to improve your animation and timing.
This is the first exercise in our Traditional 2D Animation: Acting course for a reason. Because this is the level studios expect, even from simple shots.
Want work that gets noticed? Check out our courses and learn how to improve your animation from industry mentors.
