SAMPLES OF STUDENT CHARACTER DESIGNS FOR THEIR TOONBOOM FILMS.
At Max The Mutt Animation School 3rd Year students take a series of courses
related to their final film projects which are done in Toonboom Digital Pro
2D software.

Their story ideas have been developed in a second year storytelling course.
Their characters have been designed in a first semester character design
course. They have had courses that have given them the skills to design props
and backgrounds, and they have had two background painting courses.They have
already learned to use Toonboom Storyboard pro, and in a 12 week advanced
storyboard course each student executes the storyboards and an animatic for
his/her film. In another 12 week course, our students learn the Toonboom
Digital Pro software and then execute character and prop breakdown, and
library organization ( as the name indicates, the library is where all
elements of each film are stored in Toonboom). Then each student starts
his/her scene setups and animation in Toonboom Digital Pro.

There is a lot of pre-production in this process but the payoff is that
the animation and final film production are able to be completed in a three
week intensive course that takes place at the end of second semester.

Stay tuned!!
