Animation Collaborative - Advanced Animation And Intensive Lecture

AnimC Site YEAH!!!

I just finished up both Victor Navone's Advanced Animation Workshop and Michael Makarewicz Intensive Workshop.  Victor's critiques were great and my fellow classmates work was very inspiring.  It was great to get face-to-face crits from one of the best in the biz.  As for Michaels workshop - It was one of the most eye opening- holy shit!!! workshops I have taken.  His workflow can really make anyone in animation better.  I learned a crap load in that class.  If you are able I would say you owe it to yourself to get enrolled with AnimC.  My experience there was amazing.

Finished up my CG Workshop on Comping in Nuke


 This was a great course.  This will get anybody not familiar with Nuke on the ball with having to comp their own work in Nuke.  I definitely recommend it if you're thinking about producing your own short - or any personal piece needing the magic of Nuke.  I come from a motion graphic background so some of the techniques are similar to After Effects BUT for comping Nuke just absolutely kills AE.  It's both a precise surgical tool and an all out arse-kicking, take no names piece of software.
