Animate characters you create with your web cam and automated lip sync in Adobe’s Character Animator! �

Motion capture puppets are great for:

explainer video animations
short films + cartoons
commercials
creative live interactive characters
motion comics
anything needing reusable characters – no need to redraw frames or set keyframes anytime a character moves!

We’ll cover mouth shapes, layer placement, syncing an audio track to lips or creating your own audio for your puppet to voice, adding physics for more life-like movement, creating custom puppets and even walk cycles.�

This course utilizes Adobe Photoshop to build our puppets and files are exported to Adobe After Effects, so both programs are essential to using Character Animator effectively.

This is a highly effective way to create reusable characters for explainer videos, short film, music videos and other media. �
