Let’s Begin…
Animation is used everywhere to communicate big ideas--in movies, television, and media. Do you ever stop and wonder about the magic of it all? And have you ever wanted to create your own special effects? TED-Ed animators show just how easy (and fun) homemade special effects can be.
Does knowing how animation works remove some of the magic, or does it open the possibilities? Are you interested in animating your own film?
