Welcome to 6 Weeks Animator Incubation! Here you will be learning 12 principles of animation in 6 weeks. The ones developed by Walt Disney Studios a hundred years ago.It’s what they used to become the very best in their time, because their characters looked alive, expressive and had personality.
Every single week we will come with a challenge, for a total of 6 epic challenges. You will be asked to do your short animation combining the principles you learned every week with your imagination. We will pick out best work for every challenge and give out our prizes.
