Introduction
This course provides an end-to-end workflow using Ordinary Animator to create your own animated video. This process is based heavily on workflows developed by animation production companies such as Pixar, adapted for Ordinary Animator. It covers the following three major phases:
Pre-production: Where the ideas and designs happen.
Production: Where the animation happens.
Post-production: Where the polishing happens.
It is not necessary to complete all prior steps before moving on to the next stage. In fact, pushing forward early can often be beneficial, as it allows you to uncover valuable insights during the process.
For instance, producing a pilot for a single scene can help refine ideas and inform the direction of the project.
At the top and bottom of each lesson you will find buttons to take you to the previous and next sequential lesson.
In the top right corner, if you click on the checkmark icon, you will mark the lesson as complete. This can be helpful to track your progress, particularly if you view lessons out of order.
The left arrow in front of the lesson title at the top of the page takes you to the table of contents. The page you navigated from is highlighted with bold text. You can also view your completed lessons and update your progress as needed.
