01. Course Overview

Welcome to the Blender animation course. In this course, we'll be going over step-by-step all the different processes and tools you'll need to know in order to animate in Blender. My name is Dillon Gu, and I'm a professional Blender animator who worked with Rooster Teeth on RWBY volume three, and I currently run my own YouTube channel - dillongoo. I'm also the creator of the Blender fundamental series. This was a series I made for the Blender foundation, the people who made Blender, for their official YouTube channel. Anyway, in this course we'll be going over the specific steps of how to animate a parkour action sequence. If you guys aren't familiar with parkour, it's essentially urban gymnastics, which means climbing buildings, jumping through windows, all that kind of stuff.
Which makes it perfect for an action sequence. So that's what we're going to be doing. The files required for this exact sequence will be provided as part of the course files. This includes the environment, the character rigs and the completed blend file that I worked on for you to dissect if need be.
My plan is that by the end of this course, you will be able to create your own animation sequences in Blender. By learning to step by step process of this particular animation sequence, you should be able to pick up the knowledge and tools necessary to create your own. So let's get started. In the next video, we'll be talking about what makes Blender unique and what it's capable of.
