JoJo and Gran Gran follows the life of a four-year old girl called JoJo and her fun and wise grandmother Gran Gran, who looks after her while her parents are working. The show will be produced in-house at our central Bristol studio. It is not the best fit for anyone who simply wants to animate premade character templates.Job Title : Toon Boom Harmony Rigger – JoJo & Gran GranĪ Productions are looking for a Toon Boom Harmony Rigger to work on the hit series JoJo & Gran Gran for CBeebies. This is a program heavily geared towards bone rigging custom drawings, which means the animation process is difficult and takes a lot of time. However, it doesn’t allow you to record sound so you’ll need to rely on another program to create dialogue. If you need additional help, customer support is available by phone or email.It's no wonder that Toon Boom Harmony Advanced is the industry standard for 2D animation since it offers powerful animation and drawing tools. You can also access its active user forum, knowledgebase and FAQs page, as well as a variety of manuals and tutorials.

These include exporting AVI and MP4 video files for television playback and uploading directly to websites such as YouTube and Facebook.Help & SupportThe company provides many resources to teach you how to use the software, including a free Quick Start Tutorial and official training videos you can purchase at an additional cost. Toon Boom has tools for scanning in and cleaning up your work so you can use traditional paper and pencil mediums if you prefer to create that way.

The brush opacity and other settings are completely adjustable to make your strokes show up just like they would with paper and pencil. We didn’t find any preloaded characters in the program however we did find some templates by going to the resources section of Toon Boom’s website.FeaturesThis software worked perfectly with our Wacom tablet, and we were able to sketch ideas directly into the program.

The software automatically animates the steps between two points using either frame-by-frame or keyframe animation. There are also animation pegs to chart the path of the character’s movement. The onion skinning feature helped us control the movement and the timing of each animation by showing the previous drawing underneath the next sketch – this helps create smoother motion. While it is expensive, it’s pretty awesome that it even offers a one-time payment option as most professional-level software has turned to subscription-only payments.Animation ToolsThe program’s bone-rigging feature makes characters' movements look natural, though you can choose to make his or her gait unnatural as well.
