Class Experience

In this one day course, students will learn how to make a video with an animated character by using the free starter version of Adobe Character Animator.
 
Students will learn the following techniques :
-Choosing an animation puppet.
-How to use face recognition to sync your movements with the animation.
-Recording your own voice so it will sync with the animated character.
-How to import an existing audio file and sync it with an animated character.
-How to adjust the body movements of your animated character.
-Exporting animation into a video file.

My class is structured as a fun and creative environment and I want my students to be involved. When I'm creating an animation video during class, students will also be creating their own video at the exact same time. During the course, students will be able to ask questions and interact with me. All students will eventually present their videos during class that demonstrate their own unique editing skills.

No prior editing experience is required. All students are welcome!

Other Details

Parental Guidance
The student will be using the free starter version of Adobe Character Animator on a computer. Adobe Character Animator is available on a Mac or a Windows computer. They will need to download Adobe Character Animator from Adobe's website. An Adobe Cloud account is required in order to download the character animator software. It is free to create an Adobe Cloud account. During the class, I'll be screen sharing my computer screen on Zoom. I'll be showcasing the techniques in Adobe Character Animator.

Teacher expertise and credentials
🚩As of January 21, 2025 I will be taking a break from teaching.🚩

Welcome! My name is Simon Tse and I can't wait to have you in class. The classes that I will be teaching are focused on movie making and video editing. I have a bachelor’s degree from DeVry University. I majored in network and communications management. Before I became a teacher, I was working as a technology mentor to students at a Catholic school. I started teaching computer skills, video editing skills, and audio editing skills to many students. I believe that students will learn when they are challenged and having fun at the same time. I am very patient, and I will always help my students when they are having trouble during 
the lessons. 

In 2020, I started my own YouTube channel about technology and it has continued to grow with a strong community of viewers.

When I have spare time, I like to do many things. I like to watch movies, read comic books, take an archery class, and play basketball. I also love going to comic book conventions! I’m looking forward to meeting you.
