How to Develop an Animated Short
Everything from Idea to Animation
“Your story is one of the most important assets to a successful animation,” says SketchToAnimate founder Travis Blaise. “The story needs to be addressed at the beginning, revisited in the middle, and reviewed at the end.”
What this Course is about
This workshop is for those inspired to write animated shorts, feature scripts, indie films, or craves to expand their general knowledge. Our own Travis Blaise will teach you the preproduction and production process basics in an animated short.
During this 6 hours Workshop, Travis will scope out how to develop an animated story. After a day with us, you will better understand how to block out a story, create rough animations, and so much more!
