Description

In this course I will teach you how to edit movies only using iMovie and your iPad. Everything was shot with my iPhone except for 2 drone shots. I will also teach you how to set up your iPhone to shoot in the best quality. I will take you from importing your videos to cutting them to selecting the best shot for your movie. You will learn how to use Procreate from setting up your canvas to layers to adding colors to your shapes. We will be building simple characters from the simple skeleton form to a full colored character with a background. I have been using Procreate for 9 years and I will show you how to use every tool that is available in this amazing program. Students will learn how to draw by using basic shapes. They will start off with circles and squares and turn them into spheres and cubes. You will learn which materials I use to create wonderful works of art. From basic to advanced in a few hours. The masterclass will continue to expand every day until it reaches hours of footage. Jayson has been an artist since the early age of 1 and now at 39 he is ready to teach you all he knows about art.
