Your very own Animation School
I’ve been lucky enough to lecture at animation schools around the world, but I’ve always been disappointed that I couldn’t reach more students with the big ideas of animation in a deep-dive course.
After developing a new style of teaching specifically for the internet and attracting hundreds of thousands of students to my classes on YouTube, I thought it might finally be time to create my most ambitious class so far - Animation Basecamp. It’s my idea of the ultimate animation foundations course. A structured, full introductory animation class that is far more accessible than traditional animation school, but also able to go much deeper than normal online classes.
Four courses in one.

Learn to move things in fantastical ways. We dive straight in and build your basic skills with fun animation experiments.
8 in-depth lessons

8 in-depth lessons

1 Masterclass and 3 projects to try.
Do I need to be able to draw well?
One of the reasons many people find animation intimidating is because they are self-conscious of their drawing ability. My dream is to get anyone into animation, no matter their drawing skill or confidence.
A core idea in Animation Basecamp is that Drawing and Animating are treated as separate skills. If you’re able to draw a line, or a blob, you’ll be able to enjoy every class in the course. That’s because I focus on the fundamental ideas behind motion. Whether you’d like to draw an intricately designed anime mecha or a simple ball, the complexity is up to you and your confidence.
Animation Basecamp is the perfect way to start your animation journey or level up to become a skilled 2D animator

Animation Basecamp is designed for everyone from complete beginner to confident animator wanting to pushing themselves. It could be your first time dabbling with animation or it could help you understand ideas you've studied elsewhere more deeply.

I’ll be using an affordable app called Rough Animator ($6.99) which works across desktop computers and mobile devices. I’ll also include a full tutorial on how to use the app so you won’t feel left behind. But that said, you can use any animation program you like. So long as it has basic drawing, timeline and editing features, you’re good to go.

The barrier for entry to animation keeps getting lower and lower, which is awesome. You can complete this class using any computer or mobile device that can run an animation program, but I strongly recommend using a device that has a drawing tablet with pressure sensitivity. This could be a laptop with an external tablet or an iPad with an Apple Pencil.

This course is designed to be accessible to artists at all skill levels. If you can draw a circle and a line you’ll be able to do this course. If you’re an advanced artist, you can push your projects a little further, but at its heart this course is about creating compelling motion.
