Design, rig, and animate your own character—then export it as a looping GIF. Follow step-by-step instruction with no prior experience required, and reference included project files showing real animation in action.
The complete creative process from initial sketch to animated loop, with all source files provided so you can study the techniques or jump straight to animation.
In this class I'll show you step-by-step how to design your own personalized character for animating in After Effects, how to rig it, animate it, and export it as a looping GIF. I'll cover every step of my process in detail, so you can follow along even if you've never used After Effects before. I've even included all of my source design and animation project files for my four character loops at the bottom of this page. That way if you're curious how I animated my characters, or want to skip the design process and just jump into animation, you can just use my files.
