Below is a brief list of stuff to get you under way. No need to do all of it, but tick off a few of the things on this list and you will be a making a great start on your animation career.
The book all animators need |
Any student of animation needs a copy of The Animator's Survival Kit, by Richard Williams. It is easily the best and most comprehensive book available for learning animation.
Hardware
This is a distance learning course, so you will need to get yourself a laptop or workstation.
We prefer laptops to a fixed workstation, as you can keep working while you are on the move. To see what kind of specifications might be right for you, read this blog post.
Kayla, animated by Joris Van Laar |
Maya is the main software we animate with, nowadays it's the industry standard. You can download your free educational license here. Animation Apprentice is an approved school; we are listed under the US Schools. For more details on how to get your free license, see this blog post.
Introductory Tutorials
Start to learn the Maya interface. Take a look at the week 1 videos at the Animation Apprentice website. The week 1 videos are all free and this gives you a general introduction to animation, helping you to get familiar with the language of the medium.
