Analyzing Dialogue
2 lectures 03:26
Welcome
Let's listen to our audio clip.
Dialogue
Before we can start drawing, we have to listen for clues that help describe our characters and scene. I'll be analyzing the provided dialogue, and you'll get to see what type of things to look for when listening to a dialogue clip for the first time.
Practice Exercise - Dialogue
Find an audio clip with dialogue a few seconds long (no more than 11 seconds). Preferably a clip from a movie or TV show, since you want to work with good acting. Likewise, don't use a clip from a song, as you want to focus on the dialogue.Without referring to the source material, analyze the audio clip for clues about the location and the characters.

Character Design
1 lecture 01:39
Chararacter Design
Starting with simple shapes, I'll be going through the process of designing a character for animation.
Practice Exercise - Character Design
Create a character that you'll be using to animate in your scene. You can use the template character provided, or design your own. Most importantly, keep it simple.

Storyboarding
7 lectures 23:59
Welcome to Storyboard Pro
Introduction to Storyboard Pro, and starting a new project.
Storyboard Pro Basics - Part 1
Discover the interface, navigate workspaces, layers, vector vs bitmap basics, and the Select tool.
Storyboard Pro Basics - Part 2
Working with Tool Properties, customize the Brush tool, working with Captions, and important hot-keys.
Scene 1
I create our first storyboard scene, discussing staging, perspective, and adding tones.
Scene 2
Here, I add a second scene, discussing more on staging/layout; as well as demonstrating the Cutter tool, and an alternative way to tone your drawings.
Scene 3
Create the last scene, using additional panels to depict a change of action in the scene, and the Onion Skin to see drawings between panels.
Creating an Animatic
Use Storyboard Pro to create an animatic from our drawings, adding our dialogue clip, and time out the images to the audio. Then, export the animatic for Harmony/Animate/Animate Pro.
Practice Exercises - Storyboarding
Create a storyboard (on paper or using Storyboard Pro), to plan out the action of your animation. For practice purposes, you may want to minimize the number of separate scenes. Though feel free to use as many panels in a scene as needed to choreograph your character's movements.If you're using Storyboard Pro, after completing your storyboards, add your audio clip and create an animatic. If you don't have Storyboard Pro, you can use After Effects (not discussed in these tutorials) to put your animatic together. Otherwise, simply use a stopwatch, to time out the duration of each action and note it with your images.
--------------------Hotkeys featured in this section:
1 = Zoom out2 = Zoom in
Hold Space and drag = Pan the drawing areaCtrl+Alt and drag = Rotate the drawing areaShift+M = Reset the drawing area
Hold O and drag = Resize the Brush/Pencil Tool
Hold E = temporarily changes to the Eraser ToolCtrl+S = Save the project
