In-Demand Skills

We worked with the industry to ensure students left ready to contribute. Lessons start with the basics of workflow, composition, and animation before moving to more challenging material.

Gradual Development

We believe setting clear expectations helps with learning. Each lesson starts out with an overview of the skills that will be covered. Students also see how new material builds off of earlier ideas.

Flexibility for Learning

After the lesson is over, there is still plenty of space to play around. We leave room so that students can experiment and learn new tricks on their own.
