Master 2D Animation & Character Motion Course in Sagrampura
Master traditional and digital puppet animation, vector character rigging, kinetic expressions, and AI-driven asset automation. Build a production-grade showreel through 1-on-1 project-backed mentorship using Adobe Animate, After Effects, and Illustrator.
Course Overview
Curriculum Roadmap
Module 1: Module 1: Character Design & Vector Asset Building (Adobe Illustrator)
- Setting up your workspace for animation: canvas sizes, pixel grid, and web vs. broadcast dimensions
- Drawing clean vector characters: creating separate body parts on isolated layers for easy rigging later
- Building multi-angle character sheets (front, side, 3/4 view) and matching prop assets
- Establishing a consistent color palette: skin tones, background environments, and global colour styles
- Exporting assets correctly: layer naming, anchor point placement, and clean SVG/EPS file hand-off
Module 2: Module 2: Frame-by-Frame Animation & Timeline Control (Adobe Animate)
- Understanding the 12 Principles of Animation: squash and stretch, anticipation, follow-through, arcs — applied to your own characters
- Working with the timeline: blank keyframes, frame rates, and nested symbols (Graphic, Movie Clip, Button)
- Creating smooth movement: shape tweens, classic tweens, custom easing curves, and onion skin tools
- Animating shape morphing: using shape hints to control how one shape transforms into another
- Lipsync basics: matching mouth shapes to a voice track frame by frame inside the Animate timeline
Module 3: Module 3: Skeletal Rigging & Character Motion (Adobe After Effects)
- Setting up a puppet rig: placing mesh pins on a character so body parts bend and move naturally
- Building bone chains for arms and legs using Inverse Kinematics (IK) — so moving a foot automatically moves the whole leg
- Rigging facial controls: joystick-style controllers for eye movement, head rotation, and expressions
- Creating walk cycles, parallax scrolling backgrounds, and secondary motion like hair and clothing bounce
- Adding impact physics: weight, overlap, and settle — making movement feel physically believable
Module 4: Module 4: AI-Assisted Animation Tools & Workflow Speed
- Using text-to-vector AI tools to quickly sketch out character silhouettes and layout ideas
- Cleaning up voice recordings with AI audio tools inside Adobe Audition for clear dialogue sync
- Using AI lipsync plugins to automatically map a voice track to matching mouth shape frames
- Generating in-between frames automatically with AI interpolation to smooth out animation
- Understanding where AI tools save time — and where manual control still produces better results
Module 5: Module 5: Storyboarding, Showreel Assembly & Freelance Readiness
- Drafting a visual storyboard: thumbnail panels, camera framing (close-up, pan, parallax cuts), and scene pacing
- Building your final showreel: assembling a short animated promo, a character lipsync clip, and a walk cycle into one portfolio piece
- Handling a client brief: understanding project scope, revision rounds, and basic file delivery standards
- Freelance positioning: setting up a portfolio, pricing your work, and what technical interviews for studio roles typically ask

"I am currently taking logic development,Python, C and C++ courses at NodeToLearn, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with my experience. The classes are very well structured, and the curriculum is well suited for beginners but also scales up for more advanced topics. What makes this place really stand out, though, is the quality of teaching both the ma’am and the sir are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and cool.
The instructors explain complex concepts in a simple and engaging way. They are always patient, take the time to answer our doubts, and encourage hands on practice. Their teaching style makes learning programming fun instead of intimidating. Also, the learning environment is friendly and collaborative I feel comfortable asking questions, and the pace is just right for me.
Thanks to NodeToLearn, I’ve already gained confidence in writing code in Python and C languages. I highly recommend these computer classes to anyone who wants to learn programming seriously but in a welcoming and effective place.Best computer classes in begumpura. Highly highly recommended."
