Hi, welcome to Animation for anyone.
My name's Alex.
Today's lesson is a bit of a crash course in animation.
We'll start with how animation works and then I'll share with you the six ideas that I think are the most important to understand when you first start animating.
And after that, I want to show you my thought process about how we can use multiple animation ideas at the same time.
Let's jump in.
I think the easiest way to understand how animation is working is by looking at a flip book.
If you're anything like me, you might have made little animation flip books out of your exercise books at school.
You draw a picture and then a slightly different picture and you keep going until you flip through your pages and see your pictures move.
This is how pretty much all animation works, recreate still images and play them back quickly to create the illusion of motion.
