Intended for artists who are new to cut-out animation but are familiar with basic animation principles. Participants will use Harmony Premium to learn the fundamentals of digital cut-out animation using keyframes and animating cut-out puppets through introductory exercises and reoccurring production animation techniques such as cycles and interaction with props.

Intended for artists who are new to paperless animation in Harmony but are familiar with basic animation principles. Participants will use Harmony Premium to learn the fundamentals of frame-by-frame animation using traditional and digital tools through introductory exercises and by both building and animating real-world production scenes.

Intended for artists who are new to rigging and want to learn the fundamentals of constructing character rigs for studio productions. Participants learn how to use Harmony Premium to assess production needs and build standard rigs using a nodal system, deformers, masks, and optimized drawing tools.

Intended for artists who are new to compositing in Harmony Premium and want to learn the core functions of how to do compositing for studio productions. Participants will learn to stage scenes, do camera work, and composite elements with filters, masks, and colour corrections.

Intended for artists who are interested in taking their rigging knowledge to the next level for studio productions. Participants will learn how to use Harmony Premium to plan, construct and analyze production-ready rigs using cutting-edge techniques, including Master Controllers. Participants will be expected to know the fundamentals of constructing character rigs using cutters, deformers, and drawing layers prior to starting this course.

Intended for compositing artists who are interested in honing their skills or taking steps towards supervising the compositing department for studio productions. Participants will use Harmony Premium to learn the inner-mechanics of filters, how to create complex effects, and how to use advanced features such as particles and normal maps. Participants will be expected to know the basics of compositing in Harmony prior to starting this course.

Intended for technically inclined artists who already have a deep understanding of animation, compositing, and rigging in Harmony and are interested in taking the next steps to become technical directors for productions that use Toon Boom technology. Participants will learn how to analyze, plan, and assess the impact of various methodologies on the entire production pipeline, in addition to troubleshooting scene work, issue recommendations, and develop new scripts to optimize production workflow with Harmony and Storyboard Pro.
