Creature Animation Training
I have noticed that Animation Mentor has recently opened a creature masterclass so I thought I would bring attention to Rob Hemming’s school of creature animation. The course has been open for a while now and has produced some excellant animators. I have noticed some of these animators have been working here at Dneg and elsewhere in london. Rob has also worked on some very cool films and produced some outstanding animation himself. I would highly recommend his course to anyone wishing to work in VFX or realistic creature animation.
Animation & Creatures Masterclass
Today, like ten minutes ago actually, Animation Mentor announced a new masterclass. Click here for more information. I’ll be signing up for this one, so I’ll let you know how it goes.
Lango's Christmas Present
It looks like I’m not the only one in the Christmas spirit / giving mood. Keith Lango is slashing prices on his popular VTS videos. From Keith’s blog:
Each video is about 45 minutes long on average, so we’re talking about nearly 60 hours of animation training videos (that’s a lot of video). Anyhow, the regular price for each back issue VTS video is $18.95, but starting today the price has been slashed by almost 75% to just $4.95 each.
I bought a bunch of these videos before I started Animation Mentor, and I can tell you they’re really good. It was great value before at $20 a video, but now it’s just insane. Here’s a sample of what the VTS videos look like (below). Check out Keith’s post for more information on where to buy. I’ll be picking up a few myself, this is just too good of a deal to pass up.
