Stand Out: Join Us for Our Webinar, Seminar, and CTN-X
Wow, where to begin?!? First, leading industry professionals — like Glen McIntosh, Delio Tramontozzi, and Shawn Kelly with Industrial Light & Magic — break down the best demo reels. Next, Shawn Kelly takes the stage in Vancouver, British Columbia to share advanced animation techniques. Then we hit the road to bring Animation Mentor to the CTN animation eXpo in Burbank, California. These educational resources are designed to cultivate your never-ending learner mentality for all things animation. Join us and make your work stand out.
When you apply to our Animals & Creatures: Master Class, you are making a firm commitment to strengthen your work to make it stand out. After all, you will embrace a new view of animation — one that takes place in natural settings with quadrupeds and flying creatures. You will push your skill sets with respect to weight, physicality, and body mechanics. And you will integrate work with live action into your demo reel (a big plus to recruiters) … all while learning from animation supervisor-level instructors … including our very own cofounder, Shawn Kelly. Act now to save over 50% in tuition when you apply for our Winter 2013 term.
