About This Course

People want to join your project. Learn how to guide them into following your vision for your next Animation.

Make your ideas come true by knowing how people can help.

You are reading this because you either have an idea for a short film or full-length animation project for yourself, or…

Because you are just curious and wanted to know what was all that hype of “Direct and Produce Animation”. Well, give me a couple of seconds to see if I can get you more curious.

Everyone has ideas. Right? Well, that's the good part. The bad part is that most of those ideas live only inside the mind of the holder. Never making it to born into reality.

Why? Because people prefer to scratch their heads or their bellies because it feels good.

Think about it, most don't know that they can produce them without sitting on a computer or knowing anything about animation. Yes. That's a fact. There are successful producers running big studios who don't know how to draw or animate and yet, they materialize ideas because they know how the different departments work. They know how to guide people.

So, I ask you…

What does it take to get your idea realized? To have it come true? And how can you do it in less time?

Animation is a very long process that can be shortened if you know a little weird secret:

People want to help.

But the big question is: Do you know how they can help?

What If one of your friends, loves to work with sound and likes your project? How can he help?

And artists? Or photographers? I bet you know a photographer, and until now, you didn't know a photographer could help with animation. How? Well, by applying composition principles of photography to your shots and a bunch of cinematography concepts. That photographer can make your animation look awesome.

When you have an idea for a project and you know how to animate, you can do what most people do.

Go SOLO mode. YEAH! RIGHT ON!

I don't know if it's to show off all their abilities and say: I did it all by myself! Or if they just didn't know that people around them wanted to help, but neither any of them knew it could be done faster.

Imagine you have this idea for a story, or even a quick joke or gag that you want to transform into animation, into a living and breathing thing that could go viral on the internet.

You say to yourself: “Hey, this joke could be an awesome 30 second short film and could make many people laugh”. Ha! Making people laugh is one of the most generous things anyone can do for someone else. But we are not talking about comedy, we are talking about that idea of the joke and the possibility of creating an animation out of it.

If you don't know how to use a computer or don't know how to walk and talk, you will definitely think deep inside you: “Oh man… I wish I could walk and talk so I could learn how to use a computer to then make this animation”.

Well, good news, I bet you can use a computer and can walk and talk (or at least you know how to communicate.)

Knowing how to communicate and how each department works in an animation feature film production, is what can make this Idea a reality.

Or maybe you just read all that and said: Hey… Mr. Bald (because I'm bald… AND I'M LOVING IT!), I'm an animator, stop preaching on what I can or can't do”.

Well, then I have something to tell you…

  • Being an animator

  • Knowing how to direct and produce your projects

  • And how to find and work with people who is waiting for a chance to help…

Can make your life easier. You could cut in half the time it takes to finish on your own.

And not only that… but you also get THE BEST VERSION OF YOUR STORY.

And that, my friend… it's priceless.

You: “Hey, we are not friends, ok?” Me: “Of course we are, we just don't know each other”

(Drum roll please… prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRR PPSSS!)

So anyway, knowing how to direct and produce can make any idea come true. And the cool part is, you don't even need to know how to draw or animate. How cool is that!

its a good course! Wish it had more to it but the lessons about directing (voice actors, cinematography etc) were really good!

areas that could use a little more to it though are the screenwriting and animation sections.

Overall I just wish I could learn more from this course, but it has given me a good knowledge of what i need to learn for producing and directing an animation

It's almost exactly what I was looking for, would really recommend. I didn't know where to start learning these things and I needed structured lessons, that's why I leaned to buy a course than just watching youtube. They're short lessons with the essential information. I rated 4 stars because there is something missing but i can't put my finger on it. Nobody's perfect after all, right ? :D

El material extra que incluyen las clases es excelente y ayuda a explicar muy bien el punto. La forma de dar la clase, por otro lado, tiende a caer en lo absurdo con el uso excesivo de acentos y dialectos; evidentemente no propios del profesor. Entiendo que es para hacer de las clases más amenas pero, más veces que menos, simplemente son innecesarias.

fine but kinda obnoxious with the guy trying to sound "cool" funny at first but then becomes annoying, I really don't want more lessons from this guy if his other courses are like this one

I appreciate the direction of the course but it is a little too basic for anyone who already has any sort of background in film, media, or TV. It only really brushes the surface of each topic, not really diving in on anything enough. Some points are vague and redundant.

The subtitles are mostly inaccurate and considering the speaker has an accent, it kind of makes it difficult to understand some words and some names mentioned get lost if it isn't shown in the video as text. The best parts are the links to other videos, (i.e. the screenwriting lesson from Pixar that is on YouTube, the animated film also on YouTube); though not all of the linked resources are still available (Bato Water Tribe Animatic is no longer available on YouTube). The speaker's script is also a bit forced in its attempt to be conversational or casual, it made it hard for me to listen to.

Personally, I expected the course to be more in-depth with insights from industry professionals and discuss, too, the industry standard in producing animations. But it was mostly basic filmmaking lessons, especially for the section on cinematography and editing.

Most of what I took away from this course came from researching the topics outlined myself, YouTube has more in-depth discussions.

This has to be one of my favorite course and I was completely mesmerized by its deliver. I love the Tutor's attitude and ebullience, I can't find the Mangaka course sadly and I was really looking forward to taking that to Improve my frame by frame animation. This has to be my favorite course on Udemy
