STUDIO TECHNIQUE PROGRESS REEL

ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE MY LAST POST.

HERE'S MY PROGRESS REEL FROM STUDIO TECHNIQUE.

THIS CLASS WAS "ANIMATION 1" WHERE WE COVERED ALL THE ANIMATION PRINCIPLES.

I'D LIKE TO ADD THAT SAMANTHA YOUSSEF IS A GREAT MENTOR, AND PERSON AS WELL. SHE REALLY KNOWS WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT AND I'VE LEARNT TONS FROM HER, EVEN MORE THAN EXPECTED. I REALLY RECOMMEND HER CLASSES, THE CLASS DYNAMIC IS GREAT. SO IF YOU ARE WONDERING WHERE TO GET STRONG AND SOLID ANIMATION BASICS, I'D SAY THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO START. JUST AWESOME.
