The BBB Train is about to depart!!!

Hello everyone, The Beeld, Beweging en Beleving ( yes, Image, Motion, Experience you know...;) is starting again, and we are ready to dive into the world of animation and storyboarding!
Here below I post again some tutorials that I found useful to get the basis of what animation is about. They help you in starting on the right foot instead of ending up tearing your hair out in desperation...so download the tuts at the links below and enjoy!
ps: one link is for photoshop brushes that may help you draw more wicked characters ....

Been thinking a lot about how you all can take your storyboard to the next level...I know we're all very busy and can't wait for the Christmas holidays but before we slip into our slippers and pijamas if you put in the efforts now you will be rewarded at the end, and your product will be radiating light into the faces of unsuspecting possible employers...;)

This is a selection of tutorials of After Effects = think Photoshop but with motion, and Flash = turbo animation tool, from the very helpful computerarts.co.uk site, please take your cup of coffee and sit down to do some of these tutorials, all cover essential aspects of producing your animation, download the files and just follow the instructions, you'll be amazed how quickly you can get your animated project up and running. These are meant to get you going with these software programs, if you want to take another approach, we can discuss it in class next wednesday....
