AMers UK

As I have told you AM is a unique experience; not only because the program is very well structured, or the mentors are super talented, but because of the community.
During the last months I have met people from all over the world with the same love and passion for animation that I have. We write on each others workspaces and we comment on our work.
Well last week I had the opportunity of meeting a large group of AMers that live in the UK. We met at a pub in London and shared our experiences in life that lead us to sign up to AM. We joked and laugh, and made new friends. It was really weird to see some of them for the first time in person, but I really enjoyed it!




Class 3: Advanced Body Mechanics (Summer 2012)

I'm now in class 3. I can't believe time is passing by so fast! I still can remember my first assignment in Animation Mentor and how it though people on class 3 were absolute animation genius! So, it's now my turn to inspire people in class 1, but first let me tell you what class 3 is about.

With 118hrs of instruction this class will develop a fuller understanding of fundamental animation principles and more advanced elements of body mechanics. I’ll continue with the same bipedal character from the previous animation class and tackle a sequence of shots. AM website

My tutor for this class is Mike Gasaway, an Emmy award winning Director with over 6 years of directing/producing experience, specializing in computer animation and the coolest guy ever!

All I can say is that I am loving every step of this journey, and I'm thankful for the opportunity of learning from these talented people!
