It’s time to push your body animation skills to the max! This Citizen course is going to take you through animating our Clive character performing parkour stunts down an urban alleyway. Parkour is an athletic training discipline that predominately involves free running in urban environments. As Wikipedia puts it:

Practitioners aim to get from A to B in the most efficient way possible.They do this using only their bodies and their surroundings to propel themselves; – Wikipedia

This course gets right to the point, so be sure you’re relatively comfortable with animation. If you’re feeling rusty or are still getting the hang of animation basics, be sure to check out the Animation Fundamentals course first.
