In Part 2, students will be introduced to the application of visual effects in anime. We will explore animation techniques to create motion graphic effects. Anime which are commonly done with motion graphics include fire, smoke, flowing water, falling leaves, snow, dust, abstract visual effects like glowing objects, and impact splatter like explosions, sparks, meteor tails, etc. It is usually used in emotional scenes to beautify the scenes, or power up the characters in fights/ magical fights, with the intention of heightening up the feelings in the audience.

Day 1
Lightning and Super Saiyan Goku
Students will animate pulsating lightning and moving light reflection around Goku, from Dragon Ball Z. Students will use the Straight Ahead animation technique to emulate the random momentum of the running of the lightning.

Day 2
Fire and Todoroki
Students will be animating a live fire in Todoroki from My Hero Academia’s hands with a moving shadow to add depth to the effect. Students will use the Straight Ahead animation technique to emulate the organic nature of the fire shapes.

Day 3
Floating Kanji and Dio Brando
Students will add an eerie glow to the Sinister Dio with “MENACING” kanji effects overtop. The effect will be done with a Particle Brush and gradient filter around Dio to make him glow purple.

This is a beginners class for anime enthusiasts who would like to bring their characters to life with animation and produce movies digitally. By starting small and simple and committing to a deeper understanding of fundamental principles, we engage students with a gradual process of discovery and refinement as they try to push their work to a new higher standard. Class is highly-interactive and students will have the opportunity to exchange their ideas and chat with other Anime fans. Students are encouraged to pursue their interests in Part 3 where they will augment their animation skills to add body movement.
