2D Frame by Frame animation theory that enhances expressive power, to various types of animation expression methods such as material transformation and emotional visualization, and practical process with numerous award-winning know-how and unrivaled directing style! It is not just an animation function-oriented tutorial, but it helps you to build fundamental skills in motion that can immediately come up with interesting movements. Meet Coloso, a 2D animation class with high utilization that can be implemented at will.
