A Brief Introduction

I'm Cassie, and I'm studying animation as it is an art form that has grabbed my interest and attention from a young age but is something that I hadn't considered pursuing myself until a few years ago. I am more drawn to 3D animation, but I feel it is important to learn and understand 2D animation as well. I'm not extremely confident in my ability to animate two-dimensionally, as the only times I've tried to animate have been done in Photoshop with choppy or repetitive framework because I got lazy and/or impatient (and also Photoshop is terrible for animating anything besides a gif). Therefore, in this class, I hope to be able to become familiar and comfortable with using software that is specifically meant for computer animation, as well as learn various techniques and "short cuts" perse to help me create successful, fluid animations that also have charm and character.
