This class will walk you step by step through adding a fun layer of animated illustration onto a photographic portrait. This can be exported as a GIF straight from Photoshop (lessons 1-10), or students can also learn how to create a video file using the same assets in After Effects, so the video can be shared on social media. (lessons 11-14)
          Â
In addition to creating a cool and contemporary technique, you will learn some essential animation theory; how frame rates work and how to create ‘boiling’ loops. Â
The class is suitable for beginners who are new to the techniques and software, but those with some experience in design and animation might also want to learn a new technique and approach. Â
The class will provide a useful springboard and fresh perspective to anyone setting out on a moving image journey.Â
You will need to have Adobe Photoshop and After Effects Software installed, on either a computer with a graphics tablet input, or an integrated device like a Microsoft Surface. It is possible to use a mouse to draw if you have a steady hand!
