The animation courses are great, Wayne Dixon is very helpful and encouraging, and does a great job explaining things. I am still working my way thru the courses and am having lots of fun and have learned a lot, even though it can be discouraging at times. You definitely need to start with the bouncing balls, since a lot of animation is based on that. The amount of detail in animating something so it looks believable is unreal. Speaking for as someone who has very little sense in timing and still working on developing an eye being able to submit exercises multiple times has been very helpful, I won’t admit how many times I have had to submit somethings to get a decent result or wanted to hit my head and wonder how I couldn’t have seen something. The advice given has always been helpful and spot on. Anyway try not to get discouraged, realize it takes time to learn to make a mesh, rig it and animate it (in my case way longer than I thought), and it is really neat to watch something you made move.
