Cel & 2D Animation: Streamline Workflow in Procreate Dreams
Key Takeaways
Streamlines workflow for 2D and Cel animation in Procreate Dreams, from conception to composition
Original Description
Create hand-drawn 2D and Cel animations from conception to composition all in one app with Procreate Dreams.
Welcome to art director and animator Danni Fisher-Shin's course. You may know her from her work in Olivia Rodrigo’s “brutal” music video and her long list of creative campaigns with brands like Apple, Google, and Facebook. She has been using software like Photoshop and After Effects to make eye-catching and emotional animations for years–first building out the idea in Photoshop and then finalizing it in After Effects. As a long-time Procreate user, Danni has now been able to use Procreate Dreams to take all her animation creation and composition all in one app. Since its inception, the app has helped streamline her workflow and boost both the mobility and accessibility of her animation process.
Now Danni wants to teach you how you can create a professional, fully completed, and composited 2D Cel animation from start to finish in Procreate Dreams. In this class, Danni will walk you through the creation of an original animation while diving into Procreate Dream capabilities like adding keyframes, creating camera movement, performing, and grouping keyframes and layers.
With Danni by your side, you’ll:
* Keyframe camera movement
* Create a dynamic background
* Animate a loop within groups
* Use the Performing feature to animate your hero element
* Add customized animated elements to add depth and color
* Plus, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look into Danni’s workflow and how she creates her work as a full-time animator.
Whether you’re a seasoned animator looking to streamline your process or take it on the go or you’re an entry-level animator who wants to explore a new animation software, you’ll leave this class with newfound confidence in using Procreate Dreams and an understanding of how to make all of your future animation projects all in one app.
