is it even possible to
make my character
do what I want it to?

If you are reading this it's because you have so many ideas in your mind, so many stories, so much potential, but you just can’t get it out there for the world to see.

Why? Because your characters just won’t do what you want them to.

IS THIS FOR YOU?

Check any box that applies to you

   I have the perfect idea

   I have Cartoon Animator 4

   I have a storyboard

   I have the perfect character

   I have tried learning from Webinars

   I have searched for answers on Google

   I have watched tons of tutorials

   I have seen most YouTube Videos covering this topic

And yet, I haven’t been able to:

   Create a good rig that allows me to control my character

   A head that turns smoothly in the drawing style I use.

   A character that does what I want it to do

Let’s face it. Even if everything is ready, when it’s time to prepare your character for animation, problems arise.

That’s why we follow the instructions step by step, we watch all the tutorials, all the webinars, or even those Manuals just to rig our character.

Whoa!

All that information seems like too much to take in, and not enough time to go into all the “nitty-gritty details”.

What if most of the details are not really helpful for your own special situation?

Or what if you only need 10% of the information for your specific project? How do you know which 10% is the one that will help?

How about just giving it a try on your own?

You are faced with:

   A huge stack of layers

   Endless templates you don’t understand

   Images to match

   Joints to fix

   Folder hierarchies

   Weird body movements

   Dissappearing drawings

   So many layer names, so many folders

It is so confusing to follow. Where do you even start?

But You Are

Determined!

You look at all those tasks, and even if you feel like it's going to take forever you still decide to go on.

You are committed to Rig your Character. You start pushing through all the challenges, and then…

What happens?

your character

loses it!

You try to move your character’s legs and then, the horror begins. “Somebody call Area 51!”

Why are the legs deforming like that when I move the bones?

In short: Your character is not doing what it’s supposed to!

enroll now

All that effort for what? To lose control over your character?

This is not a joking matter. Sometimes it doesn’t even appear on your CA4 file because you made a small, little, tiny mistake that you just could not see, even after being super-duper careful.

You know something is wrong with the rig, but you just don’t know how to find the problem.

How do you fix something you cannot find?

And how many hours will it cost you to find a problem you don’t even understand?

“My Biggest Frustration is having nowhere to go when things don’t work on my rig.”

Meet Ward Anderson

An award-winning comedian with tons of ideas in his head.

He just happens to be a fellow animator just like you.

He bought Cartoon Animator 4, he got the backgrounds, the characters, the script, the ideas.

He even bought a ton of motion clips from Reallusion so he can make this whole thing faster and easier.

But all the artwork, all the clips, all the preparation is only piling up, just sitting there because he’s not able to do anything with it.

Everything is held because he faced a thick wall he has not been able to:

RIG A CHARACTER FROM SCRATCH

So Ward started looking for answers watching Webinars and Tutorials for hours and hours.

Here is what he said:

“As much as I wanted the tutorials on YouTube to help, sometimes it felt like they assume everything is working out. They'll just be like –‘Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just click here, click there, do it like that. There you go! It's animated!’

And you'll go, ‘No, no, no, no! What did you click? Go back! I don't even know what you just did!’

I had to watch the videos again and again and again.

And it gets frustrating because I go, 'I'm a grown man, I am not an idiot. How come I can’t figure this out?’

This is irritating because, I have the scripts, I have the project, I have the characters, I have the background.

I have all this stuff and I just can't get one single hand on my character to wave properly. It's a goddamn hand!”
