Skillshare – Filmmaking with Blender – Create your own animated Short Film

Can I create my own animated film? If you ever asked yourself this question then this course if for you, because the answer is: Yes, you can!

It took me 8 months to create my own animated short film using Blender.


The film is called Tikka and you can take a look at it on YouTube:

In this course I'm going to explain step by step how I did it, I will give you all my filmmaking tips and tricks and I will show you all the files I created in order to complete the film. This course is for all levels and everyone interested in filmmaking skills and animation.

Together, we are going to see how to:

Find an idea for a film

Write a story

Define an Artistic Direction

Work on Character Design

Create an environment

Make a script

Build a storyboard

Organize the project

Start 3D modeling

Work on textures

Build a rig for your characters

Prepare the staging

Do the animation

Set up the lighting

Place the cameras

Render your images

Finalize the compositing

Enhance the project with music

By the end of this course you should have a good understanding about the pipeline, the resources and skills needed in order to make your own animated short film.

I will primarily use Blender which is an open-source 3D software, but this course is not about teaching you Blender.Being familiar with this software is definitely a plus but it is not required in order to follow the course.
