Filmmakers of all kinds are exploring new digital tools
for creating animated content. After Effects CS3: Animating
Characters follows the creation of a short animated film,
from storyboard through final output, using After Effects CS3.
George Maestri uses a one-minute monster movie to showcase the
new Puppet tool, along with many other techniques for animating
characters in After Effects. He covers lip syncing, creating
segmented characters with movable joints, and employing special
effects. George demonstrates in detail how to create individual
scenes and shots, and offers insight into how to pull the pieces
together to form a cohesive production. Familiarity with After
Effects is recommended. Exercise files accompany the course.
