Why Build This Site?

I love to teach and I love to Animate. I think to learn animation, you need to stand over the shoulder of a feature quality animator and watch how that person approaches their shots from the early concept stage all the way to final polish. Watching as they come up against and over come unforeseen obstacles. I have a work flow that approaches animation in a structured, creative, and most importantly a fun way.
There is a huge need in the Industry to find fully trained fast animators to hire. Colleges don't specialize and books are all theory and not practical, I will be animating right before your eyes so you can see step by step how to apply the principles and foundations of animation to real shots.

Extended Training

While doing the Tutorials and Webinars, I met many animators who paid "through the nose" to go to the best colleges and universities around the world with the worst part being their teachers didn’t have a clue about feature quality animation. So we started iAnimate.net, a complete set of live workshops designed to target all your animation needs.
