His latest video offers a look at bending an arm in ToonBoom Harmony.

Here’s a little tutorial on how to first set up an arm for bending and animating with bones. If you need some help, training is just a few clicks away.Animator Andreas Paleologos has started a series of tutorials on animation entitled “animating for life” which will run a variety of topics, but are mostly about making professional 2D animation, in a small studio. In this series the wile-haired Andreas Paleologos will be going through animation techniques Toon Boom Harmony, Toon Boom Storyboard Pro, Final Cut Pro, Photoshop and Lightroom for software. In conclusion, while the interface may seem a little daunting, you'll quickly realise that this animation tool is not much different than Photoshop or Flash – and I highly recommend checking it out. You can even export your movie as a series of JPEGs. However, you can also export your movie as a PNG sequence or as a GIF. Toon Boom Harmony offers a variety of exporting options. So I'd recommended that you consider using a third-party app for the more in-depth sound editing your project may require. However although Toon Boom Harmony does has sound editing capabilities, they are somewhat limiting. Of course, for a more finely tuned animation, you can still opt to sync your sound track and images manually. With just a few clicks of the mouse, you're done. Using the Toon Boom Mouth Chart you can easily get your characters in sync with what their saying. The auto lip-syncing feature is incredible. This technique helps to give your animations a realistic 3D feel. By placing your elements in different layers using Z Depth, and incorporating the True Space camera, you can give virtual depth to your scene.

The software allows you to play around and try different thingsĪnother great feature is their True Space Camera.
