Fun fact: It took 24 frames to create a single second of filmed animation for the 1964 TV special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Great bouncing icebergs, indeed. 

A far cry from the stop-motion projects of yesteryear, modern animated works are created using (much more efficient) tools such as Adobe After-Effects, Illustrator, and Premiere Pro. The development of those tools and other technologies — such as augmented and virtual reality — have made animation one of the fastest-growing divisions of the global media and entertainment markets, according to one research firm.

If you’ve ever considered a career in animation, there’s no better time to begin your training — and with the Complete Beginners’ Guide to Animation Bundle, you can fast-track your career without busting your budget. 

Included in the bundle are eight different courses about the ins and outs of animation, from basic drawing lessons and character design tips to tutorials on those aforementioned Adobe tools. There’s even a class dedicated to promoting yourself and making money as an animator so you don’t have to enter the industry blind.

But the best part? You don’t have to fork over all your silver and gold for access to the Complete Beginner’s Guide to Animation Bundle. A $549.92 value, it’s currently on sale in the Mashable Shop for only $24.99.
