Transform One Object into Another with Animation
A 50 minutes class by animation director Giulia Martinelli, to make an animated morphing that loops.
If you always wanted to learn how to animate quick morphing loops, and smoothly transition from one image to another one, this class is for you!
In this class you will learn:
Some basics of 2D hand-drawn animation
How to develop and design your initial and final image of the morphing (A & B)
What to consider when choosing a color palette for your morphing animation
How to plan the transition from your image A to your image B
How to make the animation loop, and move smoothly
Final touches and exporting
How to use your animation and push it further
About the tools:
You can follow the class if you have access to an animation software, but also pen and paper could be enough, for a very traditional approach.
For the animation section, I will be using Animate CC, but the software is just a tool and not the focus of our class.
You can use Procreate, Photoshop, ToonBoom, TVPaint...or some sheets of paper and a light table, to follow the class and understand the basics of morphing.
Is this class for me?
Yes. I designed this class so that can be approachable at any level.
Whether you just started to understand how animation works, or you are already in the field, you will be able to follow along and complete your project.
I offer different levels of difficulty when approaching the project and making choices so that you can challenge yourself just enough to learn a new skill.
Useful resources I am sharing with you:
