Class One Progress Reel

So I made it though class one, still in one piece... It was by no means easy to say the least. I had a great time, learned so much from a very talented mentor named Anthony Wong. The man is a wealth of knowledge and very fun to learn from! I couldn't have hand picked a better mentor seriously!

During the quarter we had two special Q and A's! The first was with two animators from Dreamworks How to Train Your Dragon! Insane! I know! And if that wasn't good enough... The second was with two animators from ILM that worked on Iron Man 2! Both of these Q and A's presented a wealth of knowledge, it was crazy!

With AM the learning doesn't stop at your Mentor. Because you can watch any students ECritique at any time, the amount of information you can soak up is truly endless. I've learned as much from other students ECritiques as I have from my mentor. And your not just limited to the class your in, you can watch crit's from class 6 if you want.

If you are a student interested in animation, I'd say there's no question... AM is the place to be! I want to stress animation. If you want to be a generalist this isn't the place for you sorry say. If you want to be an animator and want to be taught be some of the best in the world... AM is the only option... If you are new to 3d, haven't taken class of any kind I would recommend the Spring Board Class AM offers. Or at very least go grab some beginner DVD's from gnomon digital or a subscription to Digital Tutors.

I'm so pumped for class two!
