Course Breakdown

Lesson overview.
Fireball
8 Lessons

Learn to create dynamic flow in your animation, allowing each shape to blend together along an organic path, with satisfying and zippy timing.
Fireball FX Sketches & Timing

Plan before you animate! Create motion paths to help you nail down your primary motion of this fireball animation in the concept phase.

Define a style target and block out your motion. This will result in a quick prototype animation that covers the primary motion of this animation.
Fireball FX Animation: Part 1

Use your guide and focus on designing fiery elements with a style target in mind.

Create the flame elements of our fire animation. Jason will go through the process of creating the designs, referencing the style target he created in the previous lesson to ensure that his animation stays consistent.
Fireball FX Animation: Part 2

Continue your first motion pass of the fireball effect by focusing on the shape design.

Remember, it’s perfectly normal to go back and forth and edit the animation until the shapes and motion look good.
Fireball FX Revisions

Trial and error is all a part of the process! Watch along with Jason Keyser as he focuses on improving his shape designs throughout his animation.

Learn how to analyze and break down your animation, with a special focus on secondary shape design and motion.
Fireball FX Touch-Ups & Polish

Revisit your work and improve troubled areas.

Changing shapes can create more variation, so it’s important to find areas where shapes feel repeated or mirrored. This can help if your dissolve shapes feel noisy, stiff, or repetitive.
Cleanup & First Color Pass

This fireball effect has come a long way! It’s time to clean it up and add some nice color to it.

Jason Keyser talks about intention with the shape design, with both interior and exterior shapes. You will also clean up and improve the secondary shapes as we go!
Second Color Pass

One color is cool, but to really get to the hot core, you want to add your secondary shapes and colors to your fireball effect.
Fireball FX Final Adjustments

There’s always more tweaking you can do to your effects! Here are some final adjustments to this fireball effect.
Abstract Lightning
5 Lessons

Play around with perspective and shape, while applying a few other foundational principles, to piece together an exciting composition!

Learn advanced ways to improve your flipbooks to make them production-ready.

Improve and change different elements of the effect non-destructively so you can experiment with color and scale.
