Frequently asked questions

How does the course work? Is it for you? Answers below!

How much experience with Toon Boom do I need for this course?

This is an advanced course so assumes you already know your way around the basics. If you're totally new to Toon Boom Harmony, try our Rigging - Level 1 course to get a solid grounding before moving on.

If you've already used Toon Boom for animating or understand the basic concepts of using pegs, hierarchies and building characters, you will more than likely be fine to take this course.

What will I learn on this course?

By the end of the 5 weeks you'll aim to have followed along and rigged a fully turning, fully functioning, production quality character. Exciting, isn't it! You'll pick up loads of useful techniques and tips along the way, and delve deep into the theory and process of constructing professional quality rigs, ready for animation.

How long does the course run for?

This course runs for 5 weeks from the start date.

How long do I have access to the course for?

Although the live part of the course is 5 weeks long (the part where you'll receive personalised feedback and be able to book tutorials), you'll have access to the course materials indefintely!

What times do I have to be available? Is my timezone a problem?

The whole course has been designed to be as flexible as possible, so everyone can take part, no matter where in the world you live.

The curriculum can be studied whenever you wish, as it's pre-recorded and you can send your work for review at any time.

Is the software included?

Yes! Each student will receive a 30 day license for the latest version of Toon Boom Harmony Premium. This will cover the length of the course and then some, to give you time to finish off those projects!

How much free time do I need to take part?

We suggest a minimum of 5 hours a week, although this really depends on your experience.

The longer you have, the more you can practice. Ideally setting aside half a day and an evening or two will give you lots of time each week to build your rig without time pressure.

You can also progress faster through certain parts of the course, if you have a chunk of free time. We've had former students complete a 5 week course in 2 weeks when they've studied full time! So again, it's very much flexible to your personal situation.

How do I receive feedback on my course work?

As you progress through the course, you'll have a gradually evolving rig that you may want feedback on.

You'll be given specific instructions on how to send this over to me, and in return I'll give you personalised feedback. This can either be via a recorded video where I go through your animation on-screen, or screenshots and notes.
