What our students say

“The most useful part of the course was the fantastic feedback our supervisor Ran provided us with, as well as the guest animators and other course leaders who would join us from time to time. It helps you to train your eyes what to look for, and the tips and tricks they gave us helped me improve my skills and confidence in the area tremendously.“

Boris Strumenliev

“All people I meet here are excellent. Great teachers, great guests, great classmates. Great support, great feedback, great persons.“

Daniel Lopez Torregrosa

“Having the recordings as fast as we did this course was invaluable. Also having a second teacher was also very helpful (Ran and Ross).“

Pablo Fraile Anuarbe

“The instructor's patience was a very good thing, there was a good mood in the group. The last assignment with the tiger was the most challenging one. It was a complex one that needs time management and perseverance. I needed to make a choice between animating both tigers or just one.“
