Bring Your Drawings to Life—Frame by Frame!
Take your first step into hand-drawn animation with our UCW Flipbook Animator Series for adults 18+. From the physics of a bouncing ball to dynamic character movement and walk cycles, learn some of the core principles used by professional animators to make art move!
Enrolling in all 3 workshops? Select "FULL BUNDLE" from the menu above to lock in the complete 9-hour series and save $48 instantly! But only for a limited time!
The 3-Part Workshop Series:
Workshop 1: Bouncing Into Motion (3 Hours) Thurs, Oct 29 | 6pm – 9pm
The Goal: Learn to create believable weight, timing, and movement in just 3 hours using the classic bouncing ball exercise.
What You’ll Learn: Squash & stretch, timing, slow-in/slow-out, arcs, and momentum. Explore ball physics on the spot and bouncing across the page.
Prerequisites: NO PRIOR ANIMATION EXPERIENCE NEEDED! (Basic drawing skills recommended but not required).
Note: This workshop is the mandatory prerequisite for Parts 2 and 3.
Workshop 2: Leaping Into Action (3 Hours) Thurs, Nov 5 | 6pm – 9pm
The Goal: Apply your foundational skills to full-body stick-figure character movement.
What You’ll Learn: Body mechanics, arcs, silhouette, anticipation, and overshoot/settle as you construct jumping-on-the-spot and leaping-across-the-page animation.
🚨 MANDATORY PREREQUISITE: Must have completed Flipbook Animator 1: Bouncing Into Motion.
Workshop 3: Walk This Way (3 Hours) Thurs, Nov 12 | 6pm – 9pm
The Goal: Tackle a big animation milestone—creating a simple, believable walk cycle.
What You’ll Learn: Grounded natural movement, simplified body mechanics, weight, balance, and kinetics as we create a treadmill walk.
🚨 MANDATORY PREREQUISITE: Must have completed Flipbook Animator 1: Bouncing Into Motion. (Workshop 2 is highly recommended prior to taking this workshop, but not strictly required).
