Re: Animation Schools options 2016
I finished game track last december, doing mocap 1 right now @ iAnimate. To get the most you can out of the workshops, especially ones with live sessions, you need to try things outside of what's covered in class and ask a lot of questions, better to be told the question is outside of material being covered than realizing… -
Animation Schools options 2016
Hi all, I was doing some research about which schools are better for character animatos. The choices at the beginning were the following: 1. Animation mentor 2. iAnimate 3. Animschool 4. AnimSquad I've asked some colleagues and friends and got some opinions but most of the people that I've asked have done the workshops in… -
Re: Animation Schools options 2016
Not sure why you think they all focus mostly on games. Most of them started with feature animation, and have created separate classes for game animation. Ive taken classes at AM, iA and AS.

Re: Animation Schools options 2016
Yep, Stefan is spot on. The feature side is top notch, the instructors are usually consistent. The games side is always changing, instructors are always being shifted around. New rigs aren't as introduced as regularly as the feature side. The feature side is still the "main one" and the games side is like a spin-off. Make… -
Re: Animation Schools options 2016
Nope. The change in instructors, as far as I know, has nothing to do with the school itself. I know a few (i work with one) that stopped, and it was entirely because they just didnt have time. All the instructors are full time in the industry, so when life gets in the way, they have to change it up. Also, the reason games…
