Do you want to learn how to make characters come to life quickly and easily?

This workshop will introduce you to Character Animator, an Adobe product that allows you to create a character and animate it. Character Animator uses your expression and movements to animate your puppet in real-time. In this short workshop, you will learn how to:

• Import a puppet and background
• Record voiceover or sync pre-existing dialogue to a puppet
• Export scene to a mp4 format

Meeting Pre-work

To give yourself enough time to experiment and play with Adobe Character Animator at the workshop, you may want to do the following:

• Download Adobe Character Animator from the Adobe Creative Cloud
• Download a puppet and background from the link on the agenda above or the one sheeter.

Make sure you bring you computer and mouse to the workshop.
