Okay, it is telling me the basics. But this system and software is so confusing that when he is trying to explain it, it makes no sense. So he drew a character with a sketch. But then several lessons later, he finally explains the fact that you need to follow a template to put your character and each individual body part through a process to correctly animate it using it's bone structure.

Friendly and passionate about what he does which makes the course very enjoyable to watch and learn. I asked a few questions and he replied promptly. I will need to watch the course a few times since I am brand new to animation, but what I will learn will save me time in the long term
