![]() You can set up your character as per the puppet’s standards (so draw an open mouth, closed mouth, vowels, raising eyebrows, angry eyes, etc and then rig it so your puppet can be animated) then you can bring it to life with your camera and microphone! As you speak, blink or move, your character will reproduce your behaviour, and then you can press record to get a clip of it. ![]() ![]() Character Animator is not only amazing and a game-changer for animation, but it is also really fun. The other one that I really love is Adobe Character Animator, which I discovered years ago when it came out but never really experienced it properly until I had a client project that could allow me to use it. Adobe Animate allows you to work frame by frame which is great, and because it is Adobe it has a lot of professional and intricate features making the process easier, like lip-syncing etc. Adobe released a new program a couple of years ago – Adobe Animate– which is basically Flash, but improved to today’s standards. So you have to draw each movement on a separate layer to create the motion.įor the ones that have been able to get a background in graphic design, or other formations that require the Adobe Suite, you are probably familiar with After Effects or the old Adobe Flash. Procreate works in the old ways in that you have to animate using the frame by frame technique. Procreate is a mini art studio with a lot of possibilities, amongst them is the animation tool. That was it, the spell was cast and I had to treat myself to buying my own iPad just to get Procreate. I have been a loyal fan and 100% addicted to it since my boss got an iPad for the office and installed Procreate on it. You can use programs that can be adapted for people without years of experience in the design world, like Procreate, which is really intuitive for people who paint, draw or illustrate. With modern tools and technologies getting better and better, there are now a lot of different ways to bring your illustrations to life, and the beauty of it is you don’t have to be so ‘tech-savvy’ or have a degree in animation. I have self-taught myself at work and in my spare time, the tricks and specs to bring a character to life, either by re-watching old Disney movies, reading articles from animators working at Pixar, watching tutorials or following day courses. I was given the opportunity to learn and practice on a few projects and slowly fell in love with the process and the end result. This is something I have always been passionate to learn so I could bring my illustrations to life. Since I started working at bellette, I have been able to slowly and gradually explore the tricks of animation, whether on an abstract motion graphic or a realistic scene. But what’s even better? Bringing them to life by using the superpower of animation. It’s a beautiful thing to be able to put on paper characters or places that you have invented. Sketching people, faces, landscapes, animals, creatures… still to this day. ![]() I have always held a pen and would draw as far back as I can remember.
