Microanimations in 2D with After Effects

You will begin by getting to know the work and references that have most influenced Modik, particularly around animation.

Next, it will be time to create the characters in the animation. To do this, you will conduct a search of images related to the world of the circus as a temporal and aesthetic contextualization and you will learn how to make a micro-storyboard where you will capture the actions that the characters will perform.

Once the characteristic actions of each character have been defined (character, objects they use, study of the movement), you will prepare the material to animate and export it to After Effects.

Modik will make a presentation of the program and will teach you to import files, use the control panels, make compositions, the basic principles to animate, advanced techniques and how to install free plugins to save time.

Then, you will compose the final scene in the form of a circus tent under which to place the micro-animations of your characters. By using the camera and the traveling mode, you will compose the final video and you will know how to export it in different formats.

Finally, Modik will talk about professional platforms to promote your microanimations in 2D and get the widest possible dissemination.
