I’ve packed every ounce of knowledge I have about creating a character rig into this course, so that by the end you’ll have a firm grasp on creating your own characters.

Are you tired of incredible amounts of lag, slow computer syndrome, and characters that just lack flexibility? Stop wasting your time with After Effects! I spent 13 years using After Effects and I just assumed it was normal to have a computer that couldn’t playback animation in real time. I was WRONG! Learning Moho has brought the fun back to rigging and animating. I no longer sit there waiting to see my progress playout I just hit play, and my animation comes to life. You’ll spend more time waiting on an After Effect file to render than you will watching this course, so why don’t you do yourself a favor and give it a try.

In this course we’ll discover what makes a background for animation appealing. You’ll learn the techniques for designing an environment that not only feels balanced but also looks great. Once the desired background is achieved it’s on to creating camera movements, where your environment will come to life. This whole course is about creating compositions that leave room for your characters but also feel intentional in their design and functionality.

There are several environments that we’ll be exploring, and different techniques will be used to achieve each one. Each background varies in overall course studies but the programs we’ll be focused on are:

Moho Pro 14

Adobe Illustrator

Adobe After Effects

So, buckle up and prepare to immerse yourself in distant lands where anything is possible and all you need is imagination.

Who am I?

My name is Jared, and I’ve been Squashing and Stretching my way through the animation industry since 2012.  I absolutely love animation, but more so, I love storytelling. I’ve been fortunate enough to have created many characters and stories throughout my career in animation. I’ve had the privilege to spearhead and tag along on numerous projects that mainly center around character animation.  Teaching animation was not something I ever considered, but when I started in 2018, mentoring students became a very unique experience. I have listened to and learned so much from my students that teaching has become an invaluable resource.

I look forward to connecting and sharing techniques with you!
