In this workshop I'm going to demonstrate an approach for character animation in Synfig. This approach allows to produce simple but good-looking animation very quickly using the special template. For more info please look at this demonstration.

I am an animator with a special interest to libre and open-source software. Since 2001 I am teaching CG animation to kids and actively contributing to various open-source software projects since 2007. My main role in the open-source is leading the Morevna Project (http://morevnaproject.org/) and helding administrator responsiblities in Synfig Studio development (http://synfig.org/). From time to time I like creating some video tutorials about animation in Synfig, also doing some random contributions to its code.
