Master 2D Animation & Character Motion Course in Jahangirpura
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
