2 Day Intensive @VFS #Background #Painting / @ToonBoom #Harmony Composting #Animation Workshop – Feb 27-28

Register in room 57

Workshop will be capped at 32 students.

Day 1 – Workshop – Digital Background Painting with Photoshop

Each student will pick from 3 different background line art. They will Digitally Paint a background using Photoshop. This artwork will have a foreground, midground and background. This is so we can create a multiplane/parallax camera move within Toon Boom in day 2 of the workshop.

Day 2 – Workshop – Toonboom Harmony Compositing

Each student will create a unique scene using a combination of the digitally painted background from the previous days workshop and premade animation and FX elements. 
The students will import the previous days work from photoshop into ToonBoom Harmony. We will create a camera move with parallax. We will add premade hand drawn animation as well as special FX animation. We add blurs, glows, flash frames as needed.
