Here is the description of the Coloso class “Elastic 2D Animating Skills by Animation Director Oh Seo-ro” in English:
This course is taught by Oh Seo-ro, a highly acclaimed animation director with over 400,000 YouTube subscribers and a history of working on projects for major brands like Kakao, Procreate, Tonko House, and TED-Ed.
The class focuses on mastering traditional Frame-by-Frame (hand-drawn) digital animation to create incredibly smooth, organic, and highly expressive motion that stands out.
Key Areas of Focus
- Principles of Motion & Weight: Understanding the core mechanics of movement, spacing, and timing. You will learn how to visually express physical properties like speed, weight, and inertia in a digital space.
- FX & Elemental Animation: Creating frame-by-frame effects for natural elements such as liquids, gases, impacts, explosions, and shattering objects.
- Morphing Techniques: Mastering the art of seamless transitions, transforming one object into another (e.g., character morphing, organic shapes, complex objects like a robot transforming or ingredients assembling into a burger).
- Character Acting & Emotion: Breathing life into characters by animating fluid facial expressions, exaggerated movements, and dynamic physical performances.
- Professional Storyboarding & Workflow: Gaining insight into a complete production pipeline, from initial conceptualization and storyboarding to the final polished animation.
