    Finally got my plasticine characters moving smoothly! ‘Stop Motion Animation Techniques’ actually demystified the rigging process, something I always struggled with. The pacing was perfect, and now I’m finally seeing my weird little ideas come to life. Definitely worth the investment.

    Okay, I was a total stop-motion newbie. This course gently guided me through the basics, and honestly, I was surprised how quickly my first little animation took shape! I especially appreciated the tips on lighting – it made a *huge* difference in the final look of my clumsy figures.
