Animation Mentor Workshop

Animation Mentor Workshop

I wanted to add a professional animation skillset to my portfolio and hope to create projects with the teams of Pixar, Disney, or DreamWorks someday. I thought Animation Mentor was the right place for me. I knew there were many options for learning the art of animation:
Animation Learning Choices
① 4-year Art Schools
② Traditional Universities
③ Other Online Schools. 
Animation Mentor focuses solely on the art of 3D character animation and trains students to create the kind of animation that entertainment studios are looking for. Instead of just discussing animation, you will create it using industry-standard tools and professional character rigs with professional animators currently working in the industry. 
Animation Mentor has the most studio-diverse mentors of any school, with animators from studios like Pixar, Disney, DreamWorks, ILM, and many others. While animating the latest films, TV shows, and video games, the instructors provide feedback and share real-world advice that helps students succeed.
The Core Animation Courses will prepare you for a career in animation in 1/4 of the time you’d spend at a four-year college. In 18 months, artists can go from animating basics like walk cycles to creating high-quality character performances and demo reels.

Anisa successfully completed the Animation Mentor Maya Workshop Course. Animation Mentor, a renowned online animation school based in Emeryville, California, specializes in 3D character animation. Anisa was attracted to the focused approach of Animation Mentor as it equips students with the precise animation skills sought by leading entertainment studios.
Anisa undertook numerous assignments during her course, including:
♦ Creating a house for a squirrel using Autodesk Maya.
♦ Animating a bouncing ball.

Throughout her course, Anisa learned from professional animators in top studios like Pixar, Disney, DreamWorks, and ILM. These mentors provided real-world advice, guidance, and valuable feedback on her assignments.
The Animation Mentor curriculum includes various topics, from Animation Basics to Advanced Body Mechanics, Game Animation Fundamentals to Advanced Acting, and Creature Animation: Locomotion to Feature Animation Acting & Polish. Anisa mastered these and many other topics during her course.
Upon completing the course, Anisa regularly updated her art website with new creations.
