Animation With the NEW Procreate Dreams App

Procreate Dreams is an exciting new animation app which allows budding animators the opportunity to break out their potential. This new app is available on the Apple App Store and does not require an account. Please see parental guidance section for more information.

PLEASE NOTE: both Procreate dreams, and the original Procreate app are required to complete this course.

Over 8 weeks, we will explore this new app together, create our very own short story, and develop our creativity.

Here’s what we will cover:
Week 1 - introduction to the timeline. We will create a simple animation and explore key framing
Week 2 - exploring the performance features. We will add exciting dynamics to our simple animation
Week 3  - experimenting with brush strokes. We will create motion indicators and other additions to enhance our animation
Week 4 - diving into audio. Adding sound effects and emotive music to our animation
Week 5 - designing a story board. This week we begin our short story creation
Week 6 - creating our artwork. Now that we have our storyboard, it’s time to create the animation. We will learn how to export files from the original Procreate app, and will also learn how to use hinges to animate moving parts more easily.
Week 7 - editing and tweaking. Our short story is almost complete. Now it is time to add audio and atmosphere. We will also look at more dynamic ways of creating a sense of depth in our animations.
Week 8 - finishing touches, then SHOWCASE! Once we have completed our animation, it’s time to share our hard work. Each learner will have the opportunity to share their animated short story with the group.

By the end of this course, you will have a clear and confident understanding of how to use Procreate Dreams.
