12 animation principles, professional timing workflows, After Effects and Procreate Dreams — all in one practical intermediate course.
Course Overview
This course bridges classical animation theory and modern digital tools, teaching you to think and move like a professional motion designer. You will apply the 12 principles of animation, master timing and spacing, and build real storyboard-to-export pipelines in After Effects and Procreate Dreams. Each module builds on the last, ending with a complete animated piece you can put directly in your portfolio.
Learning Outcomes
Apply all 12 Disney animation principles to real motion design work
Control timing, spacing, and easing to create convincing, expressive movement
Storyboard and animatic a scene from brief to approved board
Build and animate characters and UI elements in After Effects using keyframe workflows
Create frame-by-frame 2D animation in Procreate Dreams with proper layer and timing structure
Deliver a polished animated piece optimised for social, web, and client presentation formats
Curriculum Preview
Preview the course structure, see how the modules build on one another, and understand the path this program is designed to take you through.
Dissect Disney's 12 animation principles one by one and understand how each one creates believability. You will apply every principle in short exercises before combining them into a unified scene.
Timing and spacing are where animation becomes invisible craft — master them and your work will feel inevitable rather than designed. This module covers the graph editor, easing principles, and the physics logic behind natural movement.
From a written brief to an approved animatic in three lessons — covering frame-by-frame storyboarding technique, shot language, and the production animatic that directs your final animation.
Put all principles into practice across two professional tools — building a complete motion design piece in After Effects and a frame-by-frame 2D scene in Procreate Dreams — then prepare both for client delivery.
Built for Application
