Reading “Mastering Adobe Animate 2023” has been amazing. I didn’t know about the history, and I also didn’t know so many great animated series were made with Adobe Animate!!As someone who is new to animation, I loved that this book provided many resources to start with as well as easy to follow directions. I enjoyed that the steps were explained as well.This book has re-incited my interest and desire to publish my own short animated series!!Thank you, Joseph Labrecque for taking your time to write this!!

If you are new to Adobe Animate this is a great resource on how to use the many of the features of the program and how to familairlize yourself with the workspace for your desired project. Each chapter comes with exercise files that include artwork so you don't have to spend any time drawing assets you can get started on animating them right away! For the exercise files, the author provides one untouched "starter" file where you learn from scratch, but if you want to take a look ahead at the final product to see how it's done he provides a separate finished version with all the animation and/or code already in it which I found very helpful.Chapters 1-8 cover the essentials for 2D Animation in Animate like shapes, symbols, motion tweens, shape tweens, motion guides, and the drawing tools to name a few. You will also learn how to add more depth to your scenes with camera moves and layering techniques. If you like to animate with a rigged character there are chapters on how to do that which will create a smooth, flowing movement with all the parts of your character or object connected to one another making animating a lot less complicated.Later on there is some really fun stuff like how to make a game completely within Animate with a kitty that shoots fireballs at a flying pig, or a VR 360 scene where you are immersed in an outdoor park but depending on which way you look a spooky ghost may appear! I haven't kept up with what's new in Animate for a few years but wasn't even aware you could make VR scenes in it until this book.Labrecque obviously knows this program inside-out and is a great teacher to learn from proven by his status as an Adobe Education Leader and I would recommend this book to anyone out there looking to learn Animate.
