Animation Portfolio Preparation for College

Each week will consist of a different lesson catered towards specific portfolio requirements such as anatomy, character design, animation, storyboarding and layout. Students will focus on creating their best work with weekly one-on-one sessions to discuss progress and provide feedback. Students who take this class are usually applying to:
