SHORTS

A stick-figure cast that stays the same, film after film.

Define your characters once in Character Studio and CourseSmith draws a reference sheet for each. Every film you make with them keeps the same faces, clothes and proportions. Pick Moving Images, Mixed Motion or Full Animation for how much of the film moves.

What it does

The detail that makes it work.

Rich comic panels

Each scene is a full panel — a setting, props and the cast acting the idea out — never a lone figure on white.

A cast that stays on model

Saved characters carry reference sheets, so they look the same in every scene and every lecture — see Character Studio.

Moving images to full animation

Moving Images, Mixed Motion and Full Animation are on every paid plan.
