2008 - ANIMATION MENTOR
I am currently studying at Animation Mentor (AM) alongside my freelance work. AM is a great school to refine my character animation skills. I am being coached by some of the leading animators in the US. It is a collaborative study environment where giving feedback to others and meeting tight deadlines is an integral part of the work and personal development. The school supplies models for Maya so I can focus 100% on the animation. I am in my 4th term concentrating on acting. |

I took my first steps in animation. Starting with bouncing ball exercises I was introduced to the principles of animation and how to apply them. I also worked on walk cycles and dialogue. |
