This Animator Training Course offers in-depth exposure to the art and science of Animation, supported by structured lessons on visual Design and motion aesthetics. Participants will engage with various Animation styles, understand the use of keyframes, learn timing techniques, and study how movement influences narrative structure.

The course emphasizes the integration of Design principles within every stage of the Animation process, from character creation to background layouts and scene transitions. Learners will explore Animation workflows used in 2D, 3D, and digital motion graphics, gaining a broader view of the field. Design fundamentals—such as composition, typography, colour theory, and visual hierarchy—are embedded throughout the curriculum to strengthen Animation outputs.
