Jason Ryan - Animation Video Tutorials (1000$)
What are the subjects of your Tutorials?
The Basic Tutorials

1) The Bouncing Ball
It's funny that this is the first exercise most animators complete when learning animation but little do we realise at the time how this

basic exercise actually relates to every single piece of animation you'll do from here forward, even Lip sync.
In this Tutorial we go step by step through Timing and Spacing, Slow ins and outs, and Squash and Stretch.
I added pigtails to the Ball to illustrate Drag, Overlap. and Follow Through. This Tutorial also covers how to approach animation from a

Pose to Pose, Straight Ahead and a combination of the two. In the Maya section, I added a texture and rotation to the ball for secondary

action.
We also cover all the Basic Maya Preferences, Hot keys and simple F-Curve Manipulation.
2) The Skip
In this Tutorial, I wanted to jump or rather skip into a full body animation with Boris but keeping the scene short in frames so as to not

overwhelm. In addition to all the animation principles we now cover Body Reversals, Textured Timing, Favored keys, Golden Poses,

Keys, Breakdowns and Animated Inbetweens.

In the Maya section, I also have a short demo for setting up Maya prefs. I have included on screen captions for the mouse and keyboard

functions but just new ones that refer to the animation at hand.

In this I use a very simple model (not rigged) of a skipping rope to intoduce a secondary action into the Maya scene.

3) The Jump
In the Jump Tutorial, I wanted to animate a full body jump on the spot with a very pushed anticipation. It also illustrates Timing,

Spacing, Slow ins and outs, Body Reversals, Textured Timings, Favoring, Golden Poses, Keys, Breakdowns, Animated Inbetweens and

Tweaked Inbetweens. When we do these animation exercises it's always better to go broad first and then pull back later. Really

experiment with your spacing and timing to exaggerate and learn from your mistakes. As with the previous two exercises this will be a

cycled animation on the spot.

4) The Walk
The walk is probably one of the trickiest exercises but essential for every animator. In this Tutorial I fully animate a walk on the spot (on

one's) and then animate it off the spot. We look in detail at all the main poses of the walk and ****yze the arms to offset the swing from

the hi and lows of the body.

5) The Run
As with the walk, the run can be a tricky exercise to overcome. In this Tutorial I first animate the run in 2D, going through the four main

poses of the run and then I Inbetween it to illustrate the importance of follow through in the inbetween stage.

6) The Side Step Dance
In this Tutorial I wanted to bridge the gap from Basic to Intermediate, so this is really kicking the animation up a big notch. I am

illustrting a weight shift side step but turning it into a dance move.
This Tutorial really pushes all the principles that we've learned in the previous tutorials and introduces some real character in the timing

and pushing the spine to get us prepared for the Intermediate Tutorials.


The Intermediate Tutorials
In these Intermediate Tutorials you have to be very comfortable with pushing the character around in CG. These shots are very broad

and are based on some of the more difficult shots that I have done in the past. I designed these shots to be 80 frames or more each

(approx) to illustrate how a weeks work can be achieved in a day. The Flipbook 2D stage of all these shots is unedited but in the Maya

stage I edited out the unimportant parts and concentrated on the blocking, fleshing out and polishing stages of the animation.
7) The High Dive
The High Dive Tutorial is a full body shot where our Boris character has to anticipate for a dive off of a diving board (diving Board rig

included). We go through every step of creating the animation frame by frame, introducing prop manipulation, cause and effect,

staggers as well as all the principles and body reversals already learned.
(80 frames)

8)The Weight Push
In this Tutorial I animate a weight push shot where I concetrate on all stages of the animation process, especially the final polishing

stage. The polishing stage of these type of shots brings out the energy were you really feel the character's stress and not sacrifice the

entertainment.
(120 frames)

9) The Tennis Serve
The Tennis serve is a tutorial that I remember seeing floating around from an animation master class. I wanted to create one of my own

for these Intermediate tutorials. In this particular case I wanted to introduce some Acting into our shot. In many of these exercises what

happens before the action can be just as important as the actual action itself.
(80 frames)

10) The Jump in Perspective
The Jump in perspective Tutorial is really pushing right into the Feature Animation realm. This is a full on action shot of Boris running in

perspective, antic, jump off a height, land, recover, double take, antic and run over camera.
(80 frames)

11) The Run to Fast Run
This tutorial is also full feature with the added trickiness of animating along side a moving camera. I also want to see some expression

change as Boris runs looking over shoulder, takes and anticipates into a faster cartoonier run and dash off screen.
(70 frames)

12) The Guy on Ball Cycle
I left this tutorial until last because it is very difficult. The mission is to animate Boris travelling on a ball from one side of a U bend to

the other and back again in a cycle.
(80 frames)

The Advanced Tutorials
There is a need in our showreels to show how we handle both subtle and broad acting, with and without dialogue. I designed a sequence

of ten shots and animated the most important six. Some shots are in continuity but stand alone as complete shots. It's a two character

sequence, one character is subtle and the other is over-reacting.

13) Shot 1 - Pantomime
In this tutorial you see exactly how I come up with ideas for acting choices as well as seeing frame by frame how I create a believeable

and entertaing performance.
14) Shot 4 - Subtle Acting with dialogue
In this tutorial the mission is to give a believeable performance without hand gestures. I also animate frame by frame how to deal with

lip sync and playing the pose.

15) Shot 5.5 - Subtle Acting with dialogue 2
This tutorial has some phyiscal movement for emphasis on delivering a dialogue accent with flair. I also talk about and animate an

inverted path of action.

16) Shot 6 - Acting, Dialogue and Physical movement
In this tutorial I illustrate two possibilities for acting choices. The importance of physical believeability while hitting Dialogue accents

and when to change expressions and when to hold an expression for intensity.

17) Shot 7 - The Walk and Talk shot
This shot is a direct hook up from Shot 6 where we have Boris turning into this shot. He has to pace back and forth and hit accents in

his dialogue. This Tutorial really illustrates how I approach these walking talking shots.

18) Shot 8 - Subtle Dialogue with gestures
This is the final shot in the Tutorial series where I appoach a subtle dialogue shot and introduce the importance of playing the pose with

gestures and how it reveals more of the characters personality.

How much will each tutorial cost?
There are eighteen Tutorials in total with two sections in each - the Flipbook stage and the Maya stage. Each of the eighteen Tutorials

will be up to two hours long in total. They are fully animated from the concept stage all the way through to the final polish in Maya.
The Basic Tutorials will be from $40 to $60 depending on how much work was involved in the Tutorials. These Tutorials will be taking

you through the Maya preferences, the hotkeys and the principles involved at every step of my animation process.
The Intemediate Tutorials and Advanced Tutorials will be $100 each because these are taking longer full showreel quality shots and

animating them in stages so that you see all the important parts of my process.
The Character Rig "Boris" that I use in all the tutorials will also be available to buy for $30. This is as close to a full feature rig that you

can get online. He has IK/FK switch arms and legs, aligned head, auto stretchy limbs and is completely real time.
The props that I use will be free.

How much will it cost for the whole package?
There absolutely will be a discount for someone wanting to follow all of the Tutorials.
We will offer the following 3 ways to purchase the Tutorials.

1) Price per Tutorial
You can purchase the Tutorials separately.
Basic Level Tutorials will be $40 each.
Intermediate Tutorials will be $80 each.
Advanced Tutorials will be $100 each.

2) Price per Level
You can purchase the Tutorials by Levels (Basic, Intermediate or Advanced). The breakdown per Level will be as follows:

Intermediate Package - all 6 Intermediate Tutorials will cost $400 (this will save $80).
Advanced Package - all 6 Advanced Tutorials will cost $500 (this will save $100).
In other words, if you purchase all the Tutorials in a level, you pay for 5 Tutorials and get the 6th one free.

3) The Whole Package
