The rhythm is one of the most important elements that an animator must take into account to capture and maintain the viewer's attention. Ezequiel Torres, as animation director of his studio -Rudo-, has been experimenting with picture-by-picture animation on paper and digital for more than a decade, exploring all the possibilities offered by this discipline.

In this course, Ezequiel will teach you how to create fluid and original animation sequences. Playing with the camera, the rhythm and the composition of the animation, you will create unexpected turns that will make the spectator stay with his eyes glued to the screen.

Description

You will begin to know better the work of Ezequiel Torres and the projects he does as director of animation in the studio Rudo. He will tell you about his influences and the animators that most inspire him and will analyze together some pieces of Japanese anime and western animation.

Doing a review of some of the basic principles of animation, Ezequiel will teach you to create dynamic animations and work on the composition of your animation from the poses of your characters and also, the camera angles with connection exercises, fluency and dynamism.
