Participants learn core features and functionalities of Harmony Premium, including but not limited to animation concepts, basic frame-by-frame animation, cut-out animation, rigging, and compositing. Harmony Fundamentals is intended for artists who are new to Harmony and want to gain a foundational level of general knowledge in all of Harmony Premium’s main functionalities. We brought Tony onto our Twitch channel to talk about his experience teaching our new remote training course, Harmony Fundamentals. He has also worked with Toon Boom to get artists and animators comfortable with working in Harmony Premium - professional animation software used at animation studios around the world - and has helped independent animators develop their production pipelines. Tony Ross (also known as TonyTeach) is an animator and instructor who has taught courses for the Atlanta College of Art, and LinkedIn Learning.
