Being surrounded by the best talent on a global scale always pushed me to improve, and inspired me to keep growing and creating

When I made the decision to pursue animation as a career I knew I had to pick a place where I would be challenged in order to reach the high bar required from the animation industry. AnimSchool provided that challenge, along with all the tools and resources necessary for me to succeed. My growth after taking just 3 classes was exponential, to the point where I was able to land an industry job before graduating. Even after being a professional, I finished the curriculum since I found so much value in every class I was presented with. But the most important aspect that AnimSchool was able to provide is the sense of community that gets developed, from the instructors to our fellow students. Being surrounded by the best talent on a global scale always pushed me to improve, and inspired me to keep growing and creating. Thank you AnimShool!

I found the guidance and the knowledge to become a competitive animator

Thanks to the methodology and the knowledge that I have acquired from my great instructors, I bear witness to the education quality and the training received that led me to stand out in the professional field as well as to be able to produce my own projects. AnimSchool is my dream come true. I found the guidance and the knowledge to become a competitive animator.

One of the most valuable things I would like to highlight is the animation quality that I have learned in AnimSchool where I feel fulfilled and competitive. My thanks to AnimSchool and beloved instructors!

My time at AnimSchool was invaluable, I wish I saved myself some time and attended sooner.

My lecturers were a wealth of knowledge and experience, they had so much wisdom to share and made me feel like I could hang out with them
on the weekend. They all provided amazing guidance and never once made me feel like I was on my own during my studies. If you want to be
a great animator, attend AnimSchool. It's worth it.

If I come across anyone in the future that wants to be an animator I would absolutely recommend AnimSchool before anything else.

Second only to marrying my wife I honestly believe AnimSchool is the best decision I’ve ever made.

After graduating from a traditional 4-year college I felt ill-prepared to even attempt to put myself out there in the industry. On a whim, a former classmate of mine told me about AnimSchool and I decided with only 4 days left before the start of the next term to sign up.

2 years later and I don’t feel like that anymore. I’m much more confident in my animating abilities and I’m excited about finding my place in the game industry. It felt like all the instructors that I had along the way really invested their time and energy in me. They genuinely cared about me and my education and I’m very thankful to all of them for that. If I come across anyone in the future that wants to be an animator I would absolutely recommend AnimSchool before anything else.

AnimSchool has transformed me from a normal animator to a professional animator who strives to constantly evolve.

At the end of each class, I found impressive results that I did not expect to reach - this is because AnimSchool instructors have world-class experience that makes the impossible, possible.

I have zero regrets about taking this course and would do so again in a heartbeat

I thoroughly enjoyed my time learning at AnimSchool. In every class I took, each instructor displayed consistent excellence in both animation and guidance, granting me and my fellow classmates every opportunity to elevate our work to the next level. I am extremely grateful to have met and made many new friends within this community of animators, and hope to one day work with them. I have zero regrets about taking this course and would do so again in a heartbeat. Thank you, AnimSchool.

The Animation Program has been a very instructive experience.

The Animation Program has been a very instructive experience. My teachers have helped me a lot to improve my acting skills and have introduced me to Maya tools that I didn't know about and have been useful throughout the program. I'm glad I decided to join Animschool.

Each of my instructors at AnimSchool was highly informative, friendly, supportive, and enthusiastic!

In about 2 years at AnimSchool, the instructors helped me learn the skills that I needed to get a job in animation. I started my first animation job one month after graduating AnimSchool! I really appreciate the instructors and class setup. You can focus solely on the subject you want to learn, in my case that was animation.

If you’re just looking for an easy A, this might not be your school. This is the school for your demo reel and your career in animation. I can’t say enough good things, I highly recommend AnimSchool!

Katherine H.

The teachers are all superb and really take the time to critique your shots and help you understand how to make it better

I have nothing but good things to say about AnimSchool! I look at the things I've made in the past year, and truly can't believe I'm the one who made them! I've wanted to be an animator since I was a kid but thought I lost that dream when I decided to get a 4-year degree in graphic design. Then I found AnimSchool and not only did that dream feel possible, but it feels probable!

I went in knowing the very basics of animation and came out feeling really confident in my skills as an animator and even worked on some animation projects while finishing the program. The teachers are all superb and really take the time to critique your shots and help you understand how to make it better, whether it's about body mechanics, posing, timing, or storytelling. And as a bonus, you not only get the 2 live classes a week, but you have the added benefit of attending general reviews each week from other professionals in the industry. That's by far the best part of Animschool. I don't think I ever could have dreamed that I would have so many professionals helping me improve my work! I would recommend AnimSchool to anyone and everyone!

Choosing AnimSchool is one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Choosing AnimSchool is one of the best decisions I have ever made. After a few years in the wrong career, I decided to pursue my childhood dream job of being an artist in the animation industry. I can’t even begin to explain how thankful I am that I chose AnimSchool instead of another bachelor's or master's degree. When I started AnimSchool I was a total beginner. A little more than halfway through the 3D character program, I started doing paid part-time 3d modeling work (also thanks to AnimSchool) as a direct result of what I learned in class. The courses are taught by some of the best artists in the industry and they really go way above and beyond in terms of helping their students succeed. The courses are a lot of work (way more intense than my BS and MPH degrees), but it’s really worth it. It’s so much more than just class… they have all sorts of bonus learning material including art classes, workshops, contests, the ability to get additional feedback on work at the weekly general reviews, and a strong network of people in the industry (both students and instructors). The monetary value of AnimSchool is also really impressive considering some of the post-graduation benefits (class recordings, reviews, art classes, etc.). Lastly, I had a lot of fun and I was also able to make some really great friends all over the world that I hope to keep in touch with as we all make our way in the industry. Thank you AnimSchool, for everything :)

Lauren D.

The instructors here are so generous with their knowledge.

AnimSchool was one of the best experiences - It was an amazing journey where I learned a lot and improved my animation skills. The instructors here are so generous with their knowledge and guided us to make the best animation, and also the general reviews were very helpful.

Mina M.

Honestly, going through Animschool and interacting with all the instructors has made me fall in love with animation all the more.

I was already working in the industry for a while but my growth had plateaued. Animschool was just the environment I needed to push myself and get to the next level. I really loved the open conversations about the shots, the stories and characters with the Instructors and during general reviews. Everyone was there to help me do the best work I could and then some more. I was treated more like a peer and encouraged to explore my own ideas. It was always a very positive environment. The instructors have an insane amount of experience and they gave us a whole lot of information. It was great to see how different instructors have their own approach to animation and be able to learn from all of them. It's been a great time studying animation here and one of the best decisions I've made.

Roshan G.

Choosing AnimSchool was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

After high school, I was struggling to find a school to help me study 3D animation and when I found AnimSchool I was so happy. I started from knowing nothing about animation to finally having the skills I needed to work in the industry. I got to know a lot of talented people during the time I was studying and I am very grateful to the instructors and the school.

Jessica G.

The best decision I have ever made.

After an unsatisfying experience getting an undergraduate degree at a four-year university and restarting a career path from zero, AnimSchool made me feel that I not only could but should pursue 3D modeling! Brilliant and personable instructors at the top of their field and like-minded classmates make the Animshool experience much more than just classes. Instructors give lots of real-world and industry advice and show you the fun of tackling technical hurdles as well as creative ones. If you graduate from the program and get access to all the recordings for life the educational value is stellar.

AnimSchool is a game-changer and it boosted my confidence as an artist

The decision to join Animschool was a difficult one as I was switching my career from being an engineer. AnimSchool is a game-changer and it boosted my confidence as an artist. Through this course, I have not only upped my Animation skills but I have also learned some great qualities from my instructors. The energy and the passion shared by my fellow classmates were truly contagious. It feels great to be a part of this artistic community at the end of what has been an amazing journey.

Priyanka P.

I would, without any hesitation, recommend AnimSchool

AnimSchool's game program curriculum and instructors are exceptional and not only helped me become a better animator but also to exceed my goals. I would, without any hesitation, recommend AnimSchool to anyone who is interested in a career in animation or looks to further their skills.

Megan G.

Supportive instructors and students who brought the best out of me, made this challenging journey a delightful experience.

It was around the time I completed a four-year cartoon and animation university program when I realized how little I actually knew about my passion. I felt lost, so I started to look for alternative ways to learn about character animation. The name of a school, that we were using its free rig for our assignments, popped into my head. So, I watched Animschool’s student showcase, and I knew where I wanted to be.
Here I am, roughly two years later, graduating from that same school. They were by no means two easy years, but the fact that there were always supportive instructors and students who brought the best out of me, made this challenging journey an equally delightful experience. Those same people made Animschool feel like home :)

Inside or outside the classes and reviews, the instructors were always there to push the boundaries further in order to progress in my animation journey

Animschool has been really helpful for me, both professionally and personally. Inside or outside the classes and reviews, the instructors were always there to push the boundaries further in order to progress in my animation journey. They are giving you great tricks, good feedback, and are staying transparent on what they are telling you about your work without treating you harshly. The instructors are easily friendly and they are clearly helping you achieve your own goals. Beyond that, the friends you make there are amazing supporters of your work and we are helping each other by chatting about a lot of elements related to animation. At Animschool, it is not only about teaching us animation skills but also networking skills as well. When I was looking to become better in animation, this online school is clearly the thing I didn’t know I needed. Being at Animschool has been an extraordinary time and I can’t be proud enough about it.

The fundamentals and deep-dive training vastly improved my artistic skills as well as my ability to tell a real-life story via Animation

I’ve wanted to be a Disney animator since I was 8 years old. Animschool’s strict emphasis on storytelling and body mechanics has helped me get even closer to my dreams.

The fundamentals and deep-dive training vastly improved my artistic skills as well as my ability to tell a real-life story via Animation. I’m very happy with what I’ve been able to accomplish and am excited for a career doing what I love.

A rising tide lifts all boats

AnimSchool has been a game-changer for me. I had no knowledge of animation when I enrolled. I Joined the school not knowing what to expect. Every assignment is carefully curated to enable you to grow. The classes are mentored by the best in the industry, your classmates have the same desire as you do and many are just as talented or more talented than you are. In such an environment, you are bound to thrive as an artist. A rising tide lifts all boats.

The best part about AnimSchool is; live classes with your mentors, the AnimSchool community, the art classes, general reviews, the rigs, assets, and access to recorded class videos from way back. You get so much more for what you are paying. Animschool is undoubtedly one of the best animation schools out there.

Rodney W.

AnimSchool is always in my heart!!!

These were truly exciting and crazy 2 years of learning and constant growth, lack of sleep, and tons of material to learn and practice under the watchful eyes of our instructors. I'm really grateful that I had an opportunity to learn here, find new friends, and get first-hand experience in a 3D Industry. AnimSchool is always in my heart!!!

Tatiana P.

Great teachers and tools to vastly improve your skills

Animschool has been one of the best educational services I've received - great teachers and tools to vastly improve your skills.

The general reviews allow you to get free feedback from top-tier animators in the industry

I started Animschool after doing a regular 3D physical school and I can say it’s the best decision I’ve made in my life. The amount of possible growth is incredible. The general reviews allow you to get free feedback from top-tier animators in the industry. On top of that, everyone is very nice. The school is a perfect place to learn from scratch and to make great connections. I will be coming back to it from time to time just to keep in touch with this incredible Community.

When I see how much I have progressed over the past 2 years, I cannot believe it

What a journey I have had with Animschool. I started off knowing next to nothing about animation, with the very first introductory course and I remember I was so very proud when I made my first bouncing ball. When I see how much I have progressed over the past 2 years, I cannot believe it. Animschool has the most amazing instructors, who really push you and want to see you succeed. Sometimes they have more faith in you than you do in yourself! Animschool also has absolutely amazing General Reviews and brilliant instructors in the GRs who give you a unique perspective and many notes on your shots. This school also has several appealing rigs, which are easy to use and look great! Last but not the least, the Animschool community is just amazing. There are people from all over the world who are so accepting and fun! I have made so many friends during this course who I have never even met, but are some of my greatest friends. The management is also extremely supportive and always quick to help with any technical glitches or queries. Thank you Animschool for an amazing experience! ??

AnimSchool has helped me to reach out and turn my dream from a fantasy into a reality

I'm glad that I decided to join Animschool. It's been great learning and hearing stories from everyone within the community. It's been so inspiring, learning about ideas, techniques, etc to decide to animate which opened up doors to so many possibilities and opportunities! It's like cooking or even performing a magic trick! All in all, AnimSchool has helped me to reach out and turn my dream from a fantasy into a reality.

Noora A.

Through a smart curriculum and dedicated teachers, AnimSchool taught me the things I needed to succeed in this field

Starting out at AnimSchool I had zero knowledge in how to animate, I only knew that I wanted to learn animation. Through a smart curriculum and dedicated teachers, AnimSchool taught me the things I needed to succeed in this field. I was hired at a AAA game studio working on a dream franchise before I even graduated! AnimSchool does a fantastic job of connecting you to your fellow classmates and having you all engage and help each other. I've made friends here that will last a lifetime. Choosing AnimSchool not only kick-started my growth as an artist but also helped me build professional skills for success, all thanks to the wonderful people who help make this school happen. They helped me achieve my dreams.

I hope more people take the Game Animation course and experience the tactile feeling of gameplay you created yourself!

Animschool has been a great chance to get myself back up to speed on modern game animation techniques. Instructors know what they're doing, know what they're teaching, and are happy to lead students towards the skills they'll need. I hope more people take the Game Animation course and experience the tactile feeling of gameplay you created yourself!

Ryan M.

AnimSchool was the best educational decision I ever made as well as one of the best financially.

Going into AnimSchool I had some animation education already under my belt, but I had no idea how unprepared I was for the industry until I began with AnimSchool. During my time I was always being pushed and challenged by the instructors and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere that my way more talented classmates brought. I feel prepared to go into the industry now and if I ever make it to a good studio, I will always consider AnimSchool as the reason for getting me there. I can't recommend it enough!

Adam S.

The instructors at AnimSchool are very knowledgeable and have a genuine care to foster the next wave of animators.

So many amazing resources and 3D Modeling instructors

Every new course I took at AnimSchool increased my 3D artist skills beyond what I could ever imagine. The teachers were very flexible and communicative, always there making sure everyone is on the right path. With my skills and experience learned at AnimSchool I know I can pursue a great career in the industry. I learned so many different things from so many different excellent instructors in 3D art in general, I now feel like AnimSchool has opened up a plethora of options for me to choose from. Thank you AnimSchool for all the great people I met and for the life-changing experience to help me pursue my dream career!

Liam C.

AnimSchool elevated my professional career to a great extent.

My views before joining AnimSchool: I used to feel as if I am doing stereotypical professional work throughout the day without having any enthusiasm. Because of that feeling, I was in a dilemma whether to continue or change my professional work.

After completion of my course in Animschool: My outlook on animation has been changed a lot to realize that this work involved good creativity, emotions, acting, and so many other things. So finally, it made me enjoy the work and it became my passion.

Bharat G.

Anyone who truly has a passion for animation should attend AnimSchool.

I loved every moment of Animschool, it was undoubtedly the most effective way for me to learn how to properly animate! Each class taught me new skills and helped me quickly gain a better understanding of animation. My animation skills have improved significantly during my time at AnimSchool, because of the incredible and encouraging instructors. I also got to know other students with my same passions, and we grew into better artists together. I love Animschool and what it did for me, I finally gained the confidence and skill that I needed to begin my career. I definitely recommend it above all other online animation schools...actually all schools in general!

Ny Gyra L.

AnimSchool improved my skills so much that when I returned to a previous studio they were willing to pay me double what I used to make before.

I have tried two other online animation schools in the past and although they were fine in their own way, they just couldn't compare to AnimSchool, from the extra attention to detail instructors provide to all the General Reviews you can attend there is just no way to not improve with AnimSchool. A few years ago there was a time where I almost threw in the towel and called it quits but after spending all this time with Animschool during an entire year of quarantine I really saw a major improvement in my talent and now I'm a confident animator that understands his own worth.

Shawn L.

The feedback and lessons I learned from my teachers will be invaluable as I continue to pursue my career in animation.

The two and a half years at Animschool have been a rollercoaster ride that has exponentially improved my animation skills in such a short amount of time. Animschool's expertise and structure have allowed me to grow faster than I ever thought possible. For a skill that is so creative focused I was stunned by how quickly I was able to improve with the help of my teachers and the school's resources. The feedback and lessons I learned from my teachers will be invaluable as I continue to pursue my career in animation. The chance to focus on a single skill and improve it to the point of industry-standard is an opportunity I never had in my previous college experience. I would recommend Animschool to anyone interested in entering the industry.

Elias R.

AnimSchool, education-wise, is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Initially, I was taught animation very badly by the local animation Institutes, so I was very skeptical about learning animation over the internet. I was following AnimSchool for some time over the Internet so I just thought of giving it a try. And all my skepticism and doubts were washed away on the very first day of my very first class. I still remember it.
All the instructors I've had over time were extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and very keen on giving me all the knowledge that they could possibly offer. I couldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for them. I've learned more than I could've imagined in the past few years.
The other thing that I loved aside from the regular classes were the general reviews and Art classes. I got to know about other arts such as thumbnailing, Digital Painting, character design, and many more
Now that my real journey as an animator starts, I can confidently start working on anything brought in front of me, just because of the great training I got from the school.
Any praise I could give to this school would be an understatement.
I would highly recommend Animschool to anyone who is really passionate about learning animation.
Thank you, AnimSchool

AnimSchool really is the best bang for your buck in the world of online animation schools.

After attending a four-year university for animation, I felt like I had only scratched the surface of what it takes to become an animator, so I enrolled at AnimSchool. AnimSchool, let me dive head-first into animating with top-notch instructors, high-quality rigs, and gave me ample opportunity to receive feedback throughout the week. Even after a long day of animating, the instructors were always willing to give thorough, thoughtful critiques even if it put them way over the class time. It is clear these instructors really love the art of animation and are dedicated to their students’ growth and passion. The best part about AnimSchool that I saw was lacking at other online animation schools was their general reviews. On top of two live classes a week, you’re allowed to get even MORE feedback from other professional animators during general reviews offered throughout the week. I can tell AnimSchool is dedicated to their students' careers because even after you graduate, they continue to give you access to their rigs and general reviews so you can keep pushing your reel. AnimSchool really is the best bang for your buck in the world of online animation schools.
I’m forever thankful for my AnimSchool journey. I finally feel qualified for the jobs I’m applying for and am confident in the reel I’ve created during my courses. I’ve made lifelong friends around the world and am excited about the future.

Mia A.

Animschool is the most effective way to learn animation and get knowledge of the industry through teachers that are currently working in the field.

I had a background in animation before enrolling and assumed I knew what I was doing. I was wrong. Animschool will teach you things you never knew you needed to know. Professional animators make sure you get the best education possible by delving deep into everything that makes your work look professional and appealing so in the end you have the knowledge and skills to go out into the workforce. Make sure you fully commit your time to this course because it can be intense and you only get out what you put in. At the end of the day, This course is extremely rewarding, and you get to meet other like-minded students which will inspire you to do better than you thought you could possibly do.

Isaac M.

It doesn't matter how new or skilled you are in animation, the school will help you improve and achieve your future goals.

Animschool has been the best decision I have made in my career. It doesn't matter how new or skilled you are in animation, the school will help you improve and achieve your future goals. I started the program with some experience but my skills were lacking and I was struggling to land my dream job in the industry. I was planning to only take a single class but after a couple of weeks, I knew I wanted to do the whole program! You learn so many tips and tricks from the classes and have an enormous amount of reviews, not to mention the huge library of beautifully crafted environments and rigs at your disposal. The community at Animschool is so kind and I have made friends for life!

Catarina R.

I had a job offer before I even graduated!

Animschool is the best animation school!! I had the most amazing top-level instructors who shared their deep knowledge of animation & the industry. I met lifelong friends who helped push and encourage me throughout my time here. It is crazy the amount of growth that happens in two years. I had a job offer before I even graduated! I cannot fully express my gratitude! Thank you so much Animschool for making my dream come true!

I learned more about Character Animation in the first 3 months of AnimSchool than I did in 3 years of college.

Animschool is one of the best decisions I've made. I learned more about Character Animation in the first 3 months of AnimSchool than I did in 3 years of college.
Animschool offers the most amount of resources for the least price among online schools. You could take advantage of the resources and continue learning outside your classes all day every day. Also, there's an incredibly supportive community. I made friends with students and teachers alike from all around the globe. The school's constant support for students and their welfare continues to surprise me.
Before Animschool, I genuinely thought it would take me 10 years or more to acquire the skills I currently possess. But learning from some of the best in the industry, my skills grew rapidly in more ways I imagined was possible. The additional art classes also helped me a ton in boosting my animation learning.
I used to check the testimonial page before I joined Animschool. The reviews were all too positive that they seemed fake. Once I joined the school, I experienced first-hand that every word of it is true. I never imagined back then that I would add my own positive review about the school almost 2 years later haha. Animschool is hands down the best animation education I've had. I would recommend it to anyone looking to take their learning to the next level

Stalin R.

All the instructors are incredibly talented and passionate about animation, they also care a lot about the students

AnimSchool helped me in a lot of ways, from boosting my skills as an animator to understand how the industry works.
Every term was extremely useful and entertaining, all the instructors are incredibly talented and passionate about animation, they also care a lot about the students, they'll be always there for you if you need help.
I also made a lot of friends and it's really cool because they're cool people who love animation like me!
But after all, I feel something great. I stopped for a moment and looked behind and I saw how far I've come, how much better in such a short time and all this is thanks to AnimSchool

Victor V.

AnimSchool gave me the skills and confidence to make my dreams come true!

I did extensive research on animation schools before applying to AnimSchool, and it is truly the best school for animators! With an abundance of resources, dedicated instructors, general reviews, intimate class sizes, and detailed curriculum, it stands out far above the rest. Starting from class 0 and completing the program at class 7, AnimSchool instructors taught me everything I need to be a successful animator in the industry. They happily guided me every step of the journey and when I applied their notes, my shots greatly improved. Along the way, I've made incredible friendships with passionate creatives who inspire me to push my skills to infinity and beyond. It has been a life-changing experience attending AnimSchool and I am forever grateful for the new paths this school has paved for me. I can't recommend this school enough! It was my dream to become an animator, and AnimSchool has made that dream come true!

Brie L.

AnimSchool has changed my life and shaped my future as the animator I want to be.

I'm very happy I could learn animation at AnimSchool. I already knew some basics but I started in term one till finishing the 3D animation track. My dream was to learn how to bring characters to life in a believable and beautiful way and thanks to my teachers and my hard work through the terms I can achieve it now. Through this school, I learned a lot about animation, different workflows, the industry, and working from home. None of that would have been possible without all the great teachers I had during the terms and in general reviews. Furthermore, I got to meet incredible people from different parts of the world, some with whom today I have a beautiful friendship. Definitely, AnimSchool has changed my life and shaped my future as the animator I want to be. I will always remember this stage of my life with great joy.

Maria O.

The teachers, who are working in the industry, are very instructional and their critiques have been very helpful to improve my work.

AnimSchool has helped me a lot in learning 3D modeling. The teachers, who are working in the industry, are very instructional and their critiques have been very helpful to improve my work. Having the recordings and the art classes also helps a lot. I started the program without knowing much about 3D modeling and now I feel confident working with 3D models after the classes. Thank you, AnimSchool!

Vicko S.

The amazing character rigs we get to use made it obvious that Animschool was definitely the right choice for me.

Coming from a completely different study background, I learned that I really wanted to tell stories for a living and I was drawn to 3D animation. I took a one-year 3D course to enter the industry and after a few internships, I started as a generalist in my current studio. I kept feeling like animation was what I really wanted to do, so I decided to participate in the Animschool animation program after my regular work hours. It was tough to combine the two, but I learned so much and I met so many great people! In all of my classes, students would lift each other up and every teacher has given me the best guidance and encouragement I could have asked for. That along with the amazing character rigs we get to use made it obvious that Animschool was definitely the right choice for me.

Evelyne D.

AnimSchool changed my life and the lessons taught me great skills to pursue my dream career in the industry!

My time at AnimSchool was amazing! Before AnimSchool, I knew nothing about the industry or even how to use programs such as Maya and Zbrush. But after the lessons taught, I gained so much confidence in my artistic abilities. The instructors I had were nothing short of amazing. They were friendly, approachable, and had a great passion to teach. I am grateful for every one of the instructors I had. AnimSchool changed my life and the lessons taught me great skills to pursue my dream career in the industry!

Thomas A.

You cannot go wrong with AnimSchool!

AnimSchool was the best choice I could have made. Before starting at the school I knew absolutely nothing about animation and now I have the confidence to animate just about any shot put in front of me with extreme detail. From the instructors to the students, I have found a community full of lifelong friends who would do just about anything to help out anytime it’s needed. I’m proud to have been a student at this school and grateful for every instructor and student that gave me a hand along the way. You cannot go wrong with AnimSchool!

Sam M.

I wish I joined AnimSchool sooner!

My animation skills improved drastically in just 2 years in the program. I studied the basics of animation at a traditional 4-year university, but AnimSchool goes so much more in-depth, and the personal attention that you get from some of the best animators in the industry is awesome! I wish I joined AnimSchool sooner!

I could go on and write pages and pages about how much I enjoyed my time at AnimSchool

AnimSchool is hands-down my absolute favorite educational institution, and the best I have ever attended. From wonderful instructors to well-thought curricula to superb support to great classmates, AnimSchool is bursting with talent. The greatest challenge in education is keeping the students' curiosity alive, something which AnimSchool is pretty exceptional at. You leave each class burning to know more, to learn more, to do more. Each class challenges you in the best way, bringing out your best while teaching you how to think and how to approach a project. I am incredibly proud to be one of its students, and it is a school I am definitely going to come back to in the future because there's a lot to learn and AnimSchool is the best place to do that. Saying I love AnimSchool is an understatement. Best decision of my entire life. Quite literally, AnimSchool is the go-to if you want to go from zero to hero in no time. I know that's what it did for me.

It really boosted my skills in such a small amount of time it's almost surreal

Animschool has been a life-changer for me, the moment I started I could feel the warmth of the community, from the other students to the teachers, it didn't felt like just an online school, it felt like a community.
Is so beautiful to share and talk about something that we all have in common and hear new points of view, learning always new stuff and having fun in the process.
It really boosted my skills in such a small amount of time it's almost surreal. The instructors are all so well prepared and in love with animation that they really transfer their passion to you in their own unique way. I am lucky I had the chance to learn and meet all these great people!
I really suggest the school if you want to approach animation for the first time or if you have some experience and need to do the extra mile.

If I had to choose again, I wouldn´t have to think twice about it, I would immediately apply again

I don't know where to start. I am really glad I got to attend AnimSchool. If I had to choose again, I wouldn´t have to think twice about it, I would immediately apply again.
I learned so much in this two-year period. Starting from 0, AnimSchool taught me everything I know about 3D Modeling. AnimSchool has the greatest instructors and teachers you can wish for; people who know what they are doing, from all over the industry. I enjoyed going to class very much and had a lot of fun. Thank you very much!

Andreas K.

The small classes, passionate instructors, and the flexibility of the program were a big plus

Each class I took at Animschool had increased my skills EXPONENTIALLY. So much that I would drastically remake and improve a character model I had been proud of only a couple of semesters ago. The small classes, passionate instructors, and the flexibility of the program were a big plus. Online schools like Animschool are the way to go, a happy medium between trying to teach oneself everything and enrolling in a traditional four-year art college. Thank you Animschool!

Amanda S.

The journey for me turned out to be more than learning about Animation

Since the first day that I attended my first class, I knew it wasn't just going to be about animation in this school as it says on the brochure, from getting to know the top-notch instructors, making new friends from class or school website or social media it felt like home! Finally, I have found strangers like me if you know what I mean. This new atmosphere encouraged me not just to be a better animator but also to become a better person as a whole in my life. Thanks, AnimSchool for the amazing experience thanks for changing my life, and thanks for the lessons I'll never forget.

Muhammad E.

The instructors were the best I've ever had

It's amazing to see how much I've progressed throughout just 2 years at animschool. The instructors were the best I've ever had, you can tell how much they care because every single one was willing to stick their neck out and go out of their way in order to help us improve. I'm so grateful to have found this school and I can say with confidence that I've learned more from AnimSchooll than I would have from anywhere else.

Brad T.

Animschool lets you work with the best animators in the industry!

I was able to work on my personal shots under the guidance of top-level animators so I would avoid common animation mistakes, improve my workflow, and challenge myself to develop the strongest ideas.

Bogdan K.

I am extremely grateful to the school and their instructors!

Attending AnimSchool was the best thing I could do to improve my animation skills and make friends from all over the world who work in the industry. I am extremely grateful to the school and their instructors!

Justin M.

This School made me the animator I wanted to be!

I was struggling to figure out which colleges I should go to, and animschool was the best choice I ever made. I learned from the best mentors, who gave me tons of awesome feedback to help improve my shot. The general reviews are such an amazing way, to really improve and get more feedback. Every time I applied my teachers' notes, I felt it really improved my shots dramatically. And all the teachers felt like a friend, cheering me on to the finish line. This school led me to meet awesome friends and really great mentors. This school has changed my life. I now have confidence in myself as a person and as an animator.

Joseph B.

The instructors here truly brought me to new heights and helped me to achieve artistic goals that I never imagined I was capable of

I don't know where to begin with AnimSchool except to say it is completely life-changing. I never thought I would learn so much in such a short period of time. The instructors here truly brought me to new heights and helped me to achieve artistic goals that I never imagined I was capable of. I've built lifelong friendships with my instructors and my classmates and I will cherish them forever. Thank you AnimSchool and all of my wonderful instructors for making the career I've always dreamed of a reality!

Chelle M.

If you put in the hours, attend general reviews, and dedicate yourself, this school will push your work to new levels.

I really enjoyed animschool. I came to the school having been employed as a full-time animator in the game industry for a couple of years. AnimSchool was very helpful with building my polish skills, helping
me with acting choices, and exposing me to much more in-depth facial animation.

The instructors that I had were all extremely skilled animators. Each of them helped me think about things in new ways or exposed me to new workflows.

I highly recommend the school for anyone looking to advance their skills. If you put in the hours, attend general reviews, and dedicate yourself, this school will push your work to new levels.

Matthew L.

AnimSchool has top-notch instructors who want to see you succeed and will push you to get better.

These past couple of years at AnimSchool have been amazing. Incredibly fun, challenging and rewarding! I came to the school with little animation experience and feel like I am finally on a path to do what I have always dreamed of. AnimSchool has top-notch instructors who want to see you succeed and will push you to get better. Tons of feedback! They want This is a great community to be a part of. Lots of student involvement in and outside of class through social media and Discord, as well as the school’s site. All the resources and the rigs used are terrific, as well as the availability of General Reviews outside of class. Art classes weekly, and the option to watch past classes/lectures are some of the things that make AnimSchool stand out from other schools out there. Thanks everyone at AnimSchool, for making this such a great experience!

Gavin M.

Finding AnimSchool was a dream come true!

Having already graduated from college, I had it in my head that this passion of mine was wishful thinking. Finding AnimSchool was a dream come true! It blows my mind that artists who worked on some of my favorite movies have even seen my work, let alone spent so much time on reviews and critiques to help me create it. The wealth of knowledge and tips & tricks from industry professionals were invaluable, and something I will treasure for years to come.

Jessie N.

The instructors are incredible animators and their ability to pass on their knowledge to the students is amazing.

"Graduating from Animschool was one of the most challenging things I have ever done, second only to becoming a United States Marine. While incredibly challenging it has been in equal measure rewarding and life-enriching. The instructors are incredible animators and their ability to pass on their knowledge to the students is amazing. I have made friends at Animschool that will last a lifetime. I cannot thank Aminschool enough for the opportunity to meet, learn, grow, and succeed alongside them."

Jason K.

The 3D Character Program is definitely worth its weight in gold and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at the school.

AnimSchool offers a substantial amount of relevant information and practical hands-on experience that is required to make it in this industry. The school is taught by industry-level professionals that will absolutely make you a better animator. The 3D Character Program is definitely worth its weight in gold and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at the school. The program is specifically designed for you to jump in at any point in your career, whether it be the first time opening animation software, to working artists looking to increase their skill level. The school provides challenging but achievable goals throughout each term and always offers helpful critiques and guidance along the way. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking to get into the industry.

Kevin H.

If animation is your passion and you aspire to succeed in this industry, then you are in the right spot.

Animschool was an incredible journey that is hard to summarize in just a few words. This program helped me realize a dream I thought was once unachievable, by surrounding me with a community-driven by passion and collaboration. It was such an incredible experience to be among so many talented instructors and students during my time at Animschool. I am optimistic for the future that lies ahead with the skills and industry know-how Animschool has provided me with. The courses here will push you and challenge you like nothing you may have experienced before but seldom are the best achievements in life the easiest to attain. If animation is your passion and you aspire to succeed in this industry then you are in the right spot.

Luke S.

Every animation student should just go to AnimSchool!

AnimSchool was the best decision I have ever made, and I wish I would have started the program sooner. The rigs were super detailed and awesome to work with, the instructors truly care about the students and want everyone to succeed. Each instructor teaches you something new and always has time to answer any questions you might have. I know everything I do from here on out will be thanks to AnimSchool!

René F.

AnimSchool was the educational opportunity I never thought I would get.

AnimSchool was the educational opportunity I never thought I would get. I got the chance to learn from amazing industry professionals who are not only amazing teachers but friendly and caring human beings as well. They were always ready to help us when we needed it and always took that extra step to make sure our work was as good as it could be. I learned more in these two-years than I could have by myself, and the feedback from the teachers and reviews was invaluable. I finished the program with a good start on my portfolio, and I can't wait to see what opportunities I'll get within the industry.

Diana S.

The instructors are top-notch and without them, I couldn't be where I am today.

I am grateful that I choose Animschool to learn more about animation. All the way through the classes I felt like I am already in the industry. The environment is really friendly, made a lot of friends. The instructors are top-notch and without them, I couldn't be where I am today.
Thank you for everything they taught me and for the staff behind. As one of my instructors used to say "It's showtime!"

László S.

Finding AnimSchool was a complete life-changer

For a long time, I wouldn't allow myself to dream too big or unrealistically. I was so close to settling for something that I wasn't truly passionate about. I barely even thought of animation as a job, let alone a career that could one day be mine.
I've learned so much more than I possible the past few years. The instructors and students have all been so incredibly encouraging and inspiring. Finding AnimSchool was a complete life-changer and my decision to apply was by far the best I have ever made.
Now that big, unrealistic dream of mine feels so close, I could almost just reach out and grab it.

Alyssa F.

given me the tools and experience to prepare me to take on the industry

I have loved my experience and time at AnimSchool. It has given me the tools and experience to prepare me to take on the industry. It did this through providing caring and industry experienced professors that are ready and willing to show me the skills a methods I need to take my art, skills and creativity into the field.

Desmond R.

This period of my life has shown me a lot in the field of animation.

"AnimSchool is a wonderful special place. I was very happy there. I had tears and laughter, sadness and joy. This period of my life has shown me a lot in the field of animation. It's worth it! All instructors are very cool and cute. If you do not know English well, they did everything to make you understand. I am very, very grateful to them!
Many thanks."

Natasha A.

Any praise I could give to this school would be an understatement.

I signed up AnimSchool's 3D Animation track in order to further my animation skills.

Any praise I could give to this school would be an understatement. Every step of the way the instructors and staff have been extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Being taught by people working/have worked in the industry is something that most other fields can't boast about. I loved that each teacher had their own workflow, and that I was able to see numerous perspectives on the animation process. The critiques the teachers give are held to the same standard as an actual animation studio. Putting the hours in, loving your work, having fun, these are all ideals being taught here. I wouldn't change a thing about my AnimSchool experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in 3D animation in a heartbeat. Thank you, AnimSchool

Zakaria B.

Near the end of my last course at AnimSchool, I ended up getting a position at a studio, whose games I was playing only days prior.

So to start off, I enrolled in the game animation track for 3 courses

I was coming into the program with a degree and some technical skill, but wanted to improve my creative animation skills so I could hopefully
get a job in a place that worked on more AAA material.
From the first to third term, the profs showcased a thorough understanding what the industry was expecting me to showcase in my portfolio, and every class
helped me get my work to that point. The amount of material that helped both my work and my understanding of how most studios operate was crazy!
I was also given access to a myriad of resources to help my work improve, not to mention the tools and guidance to push my working even further.

Near the end of my last course at AnimSchool, I ended up getting a position at a studio, whose games I was playing only days prior.

Can't recommend this program enough!

Evan M.

As someone who was a complete novice to Maya and modeling, I certainly gained more in my 21 months of training than I was expecting.

I completed the AnimSchool 3D Character Program.

I'm a graphic designer and digital artist but I've always harboured a love for 3D art and animation. I aspired to learn 3D modeling so that I can bring my art and style to the 3D space. That being said, words are not enough to express my appreciation for getting the opportunity to attend AnimSchool. As someone who was a complete novice to Maya and modeling, I certainly gained more in my 21 months of training than I was expecting. From character and environment modeling to texturing and lighting for 3D animation---I’m walking away from this program with a new arsenal of techniques and skills that I’m just itching to apply to my craft; both professionally and in my own personal work.

I am especially grateful to all my amazingly talented and terrific instructors for everything that they taught me throughout the program. To Eriks Vitolins, Luis Labrador, Yung-Lo Cheng, Joshua Tsukimoto, Brandon May and Rafael Chies--- thank you all for making a 3D artist out of this former novice. And to the Heads of AnimSchool; thank you for creating and continuing to uphold this great online community and training platform for 3D animation.

Sadé C.

All the teachers were unique, and this is the biggest plus of the school.

I was dreaming of going to the AnimSchool for a very long time and I can’t even believe that I have graduated. All my expectations were met. I gained invaluable experience in the animation industry and even took a different view of people, their emotions, and their body language. The teachers taught us to see the nuances that usually go unnoticed in everyday life. Thanks to all the teachers for their invaluable experience, for their kindness, and for the positive and constructive solutions of, as it seemed to me, complex tasks. Thank you for the inspiration! All the teachers were unique, and this is the biggest plus of the school. Thank you, AnimSchool!

Tatiana K.

I found unexpected fun, and the courage to try and push my own limits.

I definitely didn't imagine myself going to Game Animation course when I started the Animation program. And I'm so happy that I did! I found unexpected fun, and the courage to try and push my own limits. I'm so thankful for each and every one at the school for helping me get so far: My instructors for teaching everything they could from their own experience and being always honest with feedback, General Reviewer instructors who gave part of their free time checking assignments and giving refreshing new perspective, the administration who was always responding quickly to any problem or question that I had and of course to all my classmates. It's always encouraging and inspiring to know people that are in the same boat as you. Thank you for everything!

Liliya K.

Studying in AnimSchool was the best decision I’ve ever done.

It’s been a valuable time to learn animating in AnimSchool. I appreciate all the incredible offered education in AnimSchool. Graduation is not the end of my journey as an animator. I’ll keep developing and trying to grow my skills. Thanks for all the help from AnimSchool instructors and administrators.

Studying in AnimSchool was the best decision I’ve ever done.

Aiden Jangyong L.

AnimSchool helped me hugely improve my animation skills in a short period of time.

I am extremely happy I took AnimSchool Animation Program! Initially my plan was to only took one single class but as soon as I started and got a taste of the school I couldn't resist the urge to take all 4 of them. The rigs are great, instructors are amazing and art classes are fun! AnimSchool helped me hugely improve my animation skills in a short period of time. Not only did I learn new skills in animation, but also made some friends around the world that share the same passion as I do. As long as you have dedication you'll find your experience at Animschool very pleasing and rewarding!

Valentin K.

just what I need to brush up on my rusty animation skills

Animschool is just what I need to brush up on my rusty animation skills and to learn insightful new techniques and workflows from my amazing instructors!

Karisa P.

I was able to find a job even before graduation in something that I really love.

I'm really grateful to AnimSchool because it gives a chance for everyone all over the world to have excellent quality classes.
The instructors are super talented and always working on big projects in the industry. The time and disponibility that they invest in us are unbelievable! I hope to meet them all one day in person because they really made a big change in my life.
I was able to find a job even before graduation in something that I really love.
Thanks Animschool, for helping me fulfill my dreams!

Marta P.

Looking back, I cannot believe the amount of time and energy these teachers and reviewers poured into our education.

I went though AnimSchool's 3D Animation track, Classes 1-7

If 3D Character Animation is something that you find intriguing but intimidating, AnimSchool is the answer. The early classes (1-4) laid a crucial foundation using rigs specifically designed for understanding animation principles and body mechanics. The grading system provided me with clear feedback on when and where I could improve. This was so helpful in getting my bearings straight before tackling more advanced shots.

Animation is hard work! But at AnimSchool, I was surrounded by a community that went through/overcame the same struggles and frustrations. My classmates became a source of help, encouragement, and inspiration. My teachers went above and beyond in sharing their techniques, experiences, and enthusiasm. In addition to all that, I had access to several General Review classes, which provided even more perspectives and valuable feedback. Looking back, I cannot believe the amount of time and energy these teachers and reviewers poured into our education.

AnimSchool really delivered for me, and I am so grateful for my experience.
Thanks to everyone involved in my journey through AnimSchool, I’ve been able to improve beyond my expectations.

Joe M.

I was so excited to see the work of my talented classmates and get lots of encouragement from instructors.

Every time in class, I was so excited to see the work of my talented classmates and get lots of encouragement from instructors.
Studying In AnimSchool, it's not just about learning animation knowledge and technical skill, the inspiration to being creative and a good attitude animator is the most important thing I got from AnimSchool.
Really lucky to have a chance to be the student here with those talented animators, and learning from the amazing instructors.

A wealth of information to gain from this website that goes far beyond the class you take

My experience with AnimSchool has been amazing! If you're hard-working, self-disciplined and strive to perform your best effort then AnimSchool is the place for you too. AnimSchool provides a safety net environment where students are allowed to make mistakes and learn from them. Be prepared to work hard, as these classes and assignments can be intense, especially if you are already working in the industry full time and can manage to do them in your spare time. I can honestly say that I managed to do this and I don't see how anyone else can't do the same. At AnimSchool, you will also find the best inspiration from your peers who are doing it along with you and you learn together. I didn't only receive support from my instructors, but also through the friends that I have gained along the way. It's better when you find a place that is so driven on excellence from its students, but, does not forget that we are all apart of a team too and encourage the students to nurture that kind of supportive environment. The experience of AnimSchool is what you make of it, so hit the ground running by taking those extra review sessions and workshops. There is a wealth of information to gain from this website that goes far beyond the class you take; with the opportunity to connect with other students and instructors outside of your own classroom.

Tyrone O.

Provides the best environment to keep learning and growing constantly!

AnimSchool is one of the best animation schools out there! Not only because the instructors are brilliant professional animators from all over the world, but also because of the organization of the school, the progression of the classes, the extra workshops and reviews, and most of all the supportive community that the school creates that provides the best environment to keep learning and growing constantly!

The school and the instructors with all their different experiences play a great role in preparing the students for the reality and the challenges of the industry and they really provide you with the tools to be a successful part of it.

I have progressed a lot as an animator because of AnimSchool ! It was an intense, hard experience but it was super rewarding.

I am extremely thankful to all the instructors and school administrators for this amazing experience!

Sara M.

Without AnimSchool, I can honestly say I don't think I could have turned my dream into a reality

My experience at AnimSchool has been better than I could have ever imagined with the most amazing instructors, not just for program classes, but for all the classes and reviews in-between.

But, it’s not just the instructors that make AnimSchool such an amazing place to learn it’s the other people taking the journey with you and the way AnimSchool brings us all together to communicate and learn from each other that makes it so special. It wasn’t easy, and it’s not supposed to be, I’ve been pushed to my limits and the best of me has shone through but it’s exactly what I needed. I wish I could explain more at how amazing my time here has been, but I’ll leave that up to anyone wanting to take the journey.

P.S

So, I can finally say that my position at Illumination mac guff has finally started.

I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone at Animschool, Manuel and Dave, the support and staff, all the artists from general reviews, my mentors: Louaye Moulayess, Tony Mecca, Luke Randall, Manuel Bover, John Vassallo, Mitch Yager, to all the students and anyone I missed.

Without AnimSchool, I can honestly say I don't think I could have turned my dream into a reality.

Brandon H

By my first class, I was already learning from a professional animator who works for top-grossing studios

When I first started at AnimSchool, I didn’t know anything about animation. By my first class, I was already learning from a professional animator who works for top-grossing studios. The experience of having someone who has gone through the same journey you just entered, telling you all s/he's been through to get where you want to be, failures and successes, is indescribable. Makes you feel like the goal is not that far away. I really enjoyed learning, not only animation but also the experiences of the different tutors, who are constantly pushing you to excel past your limits and fulfill your dreams.

Matias V

I am very happy I chose AnimSchool

Before I attended Animschool, one very cool alumni, told me that studying at AnimSchool is pretty hard, it will take most of my free time and most likely I will forget what my friends look like, but then he added, that it's 100% worth it and I will find new friends at Animschool as well.
A year and a half later, I can now say it's true!
As I was combining studying and work at the same time, it was really hard, but I will never regret it.
I am very thankful to all the mentors at AnimSchool, all the knowledge they gave me, support, inspiration, practice, and opportunity to realize my craziest dreams!
I am very happy I chose AnimSchool!
Now I'm looking forward to my next steps in the industry!

Marina C

I have studied animation in other places before, but now I know what animation is really about

I have studied animation in other places before, but now I know what animation really is about. Learning in AnimSchool was a very enriching experience, with instructors I've never believe I could have. The quality of the materials the school provides you are excellent and they're updated periodically. The feedback with the support team was great, they always attended me right on time, with patience and good manners. The school takes itself and its students seriously. They are really interested in you to learn and finish the course with a good animation level.

Felipe V

Exceptional and Fantastic instructors, amazing environment, awesome support staff, and friendly students

Exceptional and Fantastic instructors, amazing environment, awesome support staff, and friendly students. All that applies to AnimSchool.

When I first began to study 2 years ago, I had "ZERO" skills in animation. On my third term in this school, I've got my first job with an animated movie.
By the end of school, I was already working on multiple projects. I have no doubts I will participate in great projects in the future!

All that couldn't happen without professional instructors who shared their skills, guided, and motivated me to become a better animator.

Special thanks to David Gallagher who made all of this possible, and many thanks to all instructors who taught me animation, and thanks to supporting staff who are always there to help.

Abdurrahman Z

AnimSchool is an incredible journey that I would wish upon anyone that is passionate about animation

I cannot describe how much AnimSchool has changed my life. I started in class 0, knowing absolutely nothing about what it took to become a 3D Animator. Now I've gotten to meet an amazing community of talented people who were more-than-happy to share their knowledge of the industry. I look at my portfolio of animations, that looking back on, I've asked myself, "Wow, I did that?". AnimSchool not only taught me how to animate but also how to communicate and put your best foot forward. And by the end of class 7, I had accepted a job offer overseas! (Something I never thought possible 2 years ago) Instructors want to get to know you better and tailor their curriculum and critique to help you get out of the class what you need the most. All of my instructors were all so different but exuded the same friendliness and helpful attitudes which was just what I needed as a formerly, incredibly shy individual. I'm so happy I found AnimSchool. Every year AnimSchool improves, expands, and offers so many great opportunities for newbies and experienced animators.

I want to say thank you to all of AnimSchool and my instructors! Thank you for believing in me to tackle challenges that I didn't even know I would have. And let me learn through failing and helping me back up again when I was discouraged. AnimSchool is an incredible journey that I would wish upon anyone that is passionate about animation.

Audy I

The most rewarding educational journey I have ever undertaken

I wish I knew how to say "thank you." A way to express my gratitude for the instructors, administrators, reviewers, and fellow students for being a part of what has been the most rewarding educational journey I have ever undertaken. I could say what has been said before; how I started with no animation experience whatsoever and in less than 3 years I have a wealth of knowledge I could have never imagined. But I think looking at the work that comes out of this school can speak to that. The incredible art that these students create every day speaks for itself. What I never expected from AnimSchool was what an excellent lesson in self-discipline and autonomy it is. How satisfying it is to see your work progress through countless hours of hard work and perseverance. How much my problem-solving skills and faith in myself have grown. At Animschool, I learned more than how to become an animator. I also learned that with enough hard work and the right support, I can do anything.

Andrea W

The best thing about AnimSchool is that you never feel that it is an online school

WOW, A beautiful journey that you never get enough from. The best thing about AnimSchool is that you never feel that it is an online school. It is a full college campus at your reach. Very professional instructors and very helpful staff and great extracurricular material that really benefits you as an artist and animator. That’s what makes AnimSchool stand out among other online animation schools.
My original education is not art related but AnimSchool has supported me in my career change in a marvelous way. The school helped me a lot in advancing my animation skills so rapidly that made me really an animator. So, if you want to start an animation career. Don’t think twice. That’s your destination.

AnimSchool was one of the best experiences of my life

AnimSchool was one of the best experiences of my life. I really liked the education methods and the teachers were wonderful and fun. I learned so many useful skills and a lot of new information about the industry, and I can now keep moving forward with more confidence.

AnimSchool is one of the best decisions I've ever made

AnimSchool is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I got more than I expected. Animation is a craft, and you need to get it from professionals.

AnimSchool has given me the chance at the dream job I’ve always wanted and turned it into a reality

AnimSchool has given me the chance at the dream job I’ve always wanted and turned it into a reality,
Thank you so much to AnimSchool, everyone I met along the way and my amazing instructors
I am very happy with my experience at Animschool. It is so cool to implement your ideas with the help of super talented and experienced professionals.
I learned a lot of useful things and got answers to the questions that tormented me. I have the feeling that I was like a blind kitten who acted at random, and now
I clearly know why I should do something and that I can break all the rules :) This way was very difficult for me since I had to combine my studies with work and family, but it was definitely worth it!! All the instructors I've met were very responsive and knowledgeable. I am delighted with all the people I've met in school and
how much I've learned from instructors and other students.

Kseniia K

Never even touched a 3D program at the start of the course

AnimSchool did a great job at teaching me, someone who had never even touched a 3D program at the start of the course, to be able to create professional level 3D models almost 2 years later. I also loved being able to work alongside students from all over the world under teachers practicing in the industry. The classes were not a cakewalk and I struggled at the beginning while getting used to Maya and 3D modeling in general. However, the many late nights spent working on projects were well worth the effort.

Stephanie B.

Besides the great instructors, there are also other people involved.

MY EXPERIENCE AT ANIMSCHOOL - Actually I was thinking a lot about "What to write" - I mean AnimSchool is an Animation School meaning you will learn to animate - right?
Well, AnimSchool offers much more. I remember the time when I was thinking about to apply: I had a lot of questions and hoped to get every single one answered. I went to their website and BOOM one Pop-Up-Window later I suddenly was in a Live Chat and could ask everything I wanted. Which brings me to the topic "Support": Besides the great instructors, there are also other people involved. Without them nothing would work like it does and so I want to say THANK YOU to: Joshua Little. You probably - I mean hopefully - will miss me and my funny questions I had pretty much every day, but be sure: You helped me a lot and - I do not know how that was even possible, but you always had the right answer.

That was the beginning of my journey at AnimSchool and I constantly felt to be in good hands, but if you gonna search on the internet for the term "Online Schools", you will probably end up with mixed results - like always, right?
Regarding AnimSchool I think "Online Learning" works great and it is one of the best forms of learning. It can help to learn quickly and "Online Schools" are working in the same way as any other school, but - and that is more important: They help to learn independently and that is something which is just positive. No mixed results. Nothing. It is just awesome.

Last but not least I want to say greetings to all my new friends I made and THANK YOU to my instructors: Luke Randall, Manuel Bover, John Vassallo and Garrett Shikuma. It was really a great time and especially the two guys in the middle - Manuel and John - you made my day every time again I saw and talked to you. It was always super funny and at the same time super professional.

Thank you so much for all the help and support I received during my time at AnimSchool.

I Started From Zero

It was a great experience to learn from people who work in the industry. All the instructors were involved and very eager to answer questions. I started from zero and thanks to the structure of the classes I feel very confident with the knowledge I acquired. AnimSchool exceeded my expectations. Also, I made friends here that despite the distance I'm sure will last me a lifetime. This has been wonderful.

When I started AnimSchool I was a total beginner. By Class 5 I was already working as a freelance animator

When I started AnimsSchool I was a total beginner. By Class 5 I was already working as a freelance animator, I'm getting a lot of offers because of AnimSchool and it is going so fast! The best part about this experience is I got to be surrounded by people I want to be like, and made new life-long friends.

Throughout the program I've been like a sponge, absorbing all the knowledge that I can, I wanted to go through all the material but it simply too much to watch it all (I'm still going through it hehe), there are a lot of recorded lectures and critiques from animators that are basically working in almost all the big studios, Art classes from some talented artists from different fields, Workshops, and extra critique reviews from different instructors, and more.
My instructors helped me be the best that I could be, believed in me which made me try to give 120%, my life is changing to the better because of AnimSchool.

A very very special thanks to the my teacher and my friend Manuel, another special thanks to Dave for everything and especially for creating AnimSchool, and thank you to all the other instructors and the staff for the great work.

AnimSchool has been the greatest environment I could have wished for to learn animation

AnimSchool has been the greatest environment I could have wished for to learn animation. Everything is done in order to turn you into an efficient 3D animator. The instructors treat you as a professional and make sure to bring the latest news about the industry. I couldn't recommend AnimSchool enough.

Sofiane B.

The best stepping stone to any animation job!

AnimSchool is the perfect learning environment for becoming a great animator. Industry professionals to guide you, great rigs and tools and constant personalized feedback. The best stepping stone to any animation job!

Bart D.

I have learned so much from this course all from the comfort of my own home.

I am so grateful towards AnimSchool. The teachers here are so generous with their knowledge and guides us to make the best animation we can. They provide us with incredible rigs and their time outside of classes (like general reviews) to help us improve our work. I have learned so much from this course all from the comfort of my own home. I highly recommend this school, regardless of your skill level, as you will probably learn so much here and you will see your animation improve by leaps and bounds.

Geraldine K.

Thanks to AnimSchool, I'll have my first movie credit by the end of 2019! Wow! Can't thank you enough, AnimSchool!

AnimSchool is by far the best decision I've ever made to kick-start my professional career in 3D Animation! The school and their amazing community completely exceeded the already high expectations I had before I even started. It's a privilege to be mentored by the humble and talented industry professionals, and every time we'd finish a live session I was already looking forward to the next one. Aside from the many friends and valuable connections I've made during my time with AnimSchool, I was taught how to be a better and more confident artist in a professional environment. Now I am a better 3D Character Animator than I had ever dared to hope I'd be by the end of my 2-year Animation experience. Thanks to AnimSchool, I'll have my first movie credit by the end of 2019! Wow! Can't thank you enough, AnimSchool!

AnimSchool was the most convenient and time efficient solution to learn 3D.

AnimSchool was the most convenient and time efficient solution to learn 3D. As someone with a university degree and a career irrelevant to CG field, I was looking for a resource that would teach me about 3D with the flexibility that I wanted, and at the same time offer high level of teaching from industry professionals who are offering knowledge with a great value due to their extensive experience with the best studios in the industry. Thanks to AnimSchool and their instructors for all the hard work.

Who could imagine that supervisors and senior animators from places like DreamWorks, Sony, Pixar, Disney will review your shot and teach you animation?

AnimSchool provided me the best industry experts as my instructors, whom I couldn't even imagine meeting in so early stages of my animation career. I mean who could imagine that supervisors and senior animators from places like DreamWorks, Sony, Pixar, Disney will review your shot and teach you animation? I have heard of schools teaching software but not animation, and AnimSchool teaches us not only how to animate but also how to use the software to the fullest to get the best results, which is incredible. I'm really grateful for AnimSchool's dedication to provide students the best quality education in all the ways possible. This is why AnimSchool the best!!!

AnimSchool has made a mere dream into reality.

AnimSchool has made a mere dream into reality.

I can only be grateful for my journey at AnimSchool, learning from some of the best in the industry and a awesome community always willing to help. I've been able to take my skill to a level I would have never been able to imagine without the help of AnimSchool.

I only have kind words for this experience, Thank you so much AnimSchool!

Aitor G.

Thank you for the opportunity to learn from animators that worked on shots from the best animation movies in the industry.

I’m really happy with my decision to learn with AnimSchool.
The studies were challenging, and sometimes there were difficult moments ... but thanks to the excellent and professional instructors, a lot of online reviews and the amazing student community that always helps and supports, I am very proud of my achievements.

Thank you for the opportunity to learn from animators that worked on shots from the best animation movies in the industry.

An all-star group of highly skilled and passionate instructors and a wealth of invaluable resources.

With an all-star group of highly skilled and passionate instructors and a wealth of invaluable resources, AnimSchool turned an intangible childhood dream into a very real career path. I feel lucky to have been a part of this amazing program.

You can fumble around on your own all you want but to really improve you need critique from people who really know their art form.

AnimSchool offers an amazing chance to learn skills that you'd usually, have to stumble through teaching yourself or go to a select few (expensive) brick and mortar schools. AnimSchool allows you to focus on exactly what you want to study. You get to learn from industry experts so you can get the real skills you need to succeed in these industries. The biggest strength of AnimSchool and the most important part of learning an artform like modeling or animation is live feedback from experts. You can fumble around on your own all you want but to really improve you need critique from people who really know their art form. The teachers here are fantastic and go above and beyond to help you succeed. Without AnimSchool, I doubt I would've been able to follow my dream of having a career in 3D Modeling. I would recommend AnimSchool to anyone looking to learn animation and modeling from industry professionals for a reasonable price.

Emma W.

My time at AnimSchool has been one of the best experiences of my life.

My time at AnimSchool has been one of the best experiences of my life. It was such a pleasure to learn from instructors currently active in the industry and their approaches to modeling and rigging. I've come away from each class whether introductory or advanced with key workflow concepts that I've found extremely helpful for my own work. I would recommend AnimSchool in a heartbeat to anyone interested in improving their modeling or rigging skills, regardless of whether they've never touched Maya before or already have some level of experience.

William H.

I do not have enough words to thank AnimSchool for what they gave me: knowledge, purpose and confidence in myself!

AnimSchool was the push that I needed to start believing that if I work hard, all my dreams can come true.

For so long I put aside my artistic side and I tried not to listen that part of me that kept telling me that something was missing, until I decide to search for a 3D modelling school. The problem was that I needed a school that allowed me to continue working, respected my schedule and gave me the bases that I needed to start building my dream. After a really long research and so many days worried about not being able to find something good enough, I found Animschool! I can not believe what I learnt from this school in these two years, it's been such a blessing being surrounded by so many talented people and teachers. I started from scratch, I didn't know anything before about 3D modelling or animation and now, when I look at my models I can only smile and feel proud of what I have achieved.

I do not have enough words to thank AnimSchool for what they gave me: knowledge, purpose and confidence in myself!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!!

If you really want to save a lot of time and avoid a frustration usually associated with self-education, joining AnimSchool would be the best decision to make.

If I would describe AnimSchool with only couple of words, it would be "dedication" and "inspiration". This is what I felt the most throughout my journey with AnimSchool. I am so grateful to all instructors for their endless dedication to what they do. And I am very grateful to insanely talented students for being continuous inspiration for me.

At AnimSchool, all you need to do is keep going towards your dream, while great teachers will always make sure you're following the right direction.

My year with AnimSchool was not an easy one. Animation seemed like a pure fun to me when I first decided to try it, but now, as a graduate, I can say that this is probably one of the hardest things to learn. And if you really want to save a lot of time and avoid a frustration usually associated with self-education, joining AnimSchool would be the best decision to make. Not only did it help me to stay organized and disciplined, but also surrounded me with such a unique community of like-minded people, many of which became my friends. Thank you AnimSchool!

Vladimir M.

You make people believe and be sure that there are no borders for communication, no limits for learning and for sharing knowledge.

Working as a feature film animator before starting at AnimSchool, I understood that the world’s hi-end studios have a much stricter quality requirements that I could deliver with my current knowledge and skills. I started from Class 2 but if I have taken Class 1, I wouldn’t regret it. Every lecture and especially critique sessions were very informative and extremely helpful, I always put something new in my knowledge base and to my workflow. Every instructor was attentive in helping us to develop our ideas in a best way to meet production needs. It was fantastic journey and great life experience!

I want to thank the whole AnimSchool community! What you guys do is more than just giving an opportunity for professional education, it's a provision of a new life for who truthfully need it. You make people believe and be sure that there are no borders for communication, no limits for learning and for sharing knowledge, that there are no nation or race for friends, no causes to be afraid of pursuing a dream. And maybe it looks like John Lennon’s lyrics but it's true. I wish you strength to keep the school at same status and make it grow!

Serge P.

AnimSchool helped me improve so much as an animator.

I had previous experience working in the field before becoming a student, but AnimSchool helped me improve so much as an animator.
It was the best decision to join this beautiful community of talented teachers and classmates.
The school is so brilliantly organized, you always get the best feedback for your shots and answers to technical issues. Also the art classes add so much!
I'll be forever thankful to AnimSchool!

Paula Martinez C.

I'm now working as an animator on feature films and I still connect with the school and learn from their extensive resources. That is the best point of AnimSchool!

I felt really integrated into the AnimSchool community during the whole Animation program. All the mentors encourage you to improve your skills and show you the way to put love in this amazing art.

AnimSchool was one of the best decisions in my career. They helped me grow as an artist. It was awesome!

Alberto C.

High level animation, excellent AnimSchool mentors and good community.

It was so great - I got so much from the school! You know, I already had two years of animation an another school in Moscow but this was a really different experience - high level animation, excellent mentors and good community.

That's cool!

Ludmila A.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you again. I can’t quite tell you how much I’ve learned in this whole journey.

Without knowing anything about Maya 2 ½ years ago and be able to do these sort of things today – makes me really proud! I’ll definitely use the Graduate resources – reviews, art classes and anything that will help me grow as an artist. I expect to be working full time but I love the idea of being able to come back to AnimSchool as a graduate and be able to polish the rough edges some more. You even included new rigs and class recordings. Truly awesome!

Martin S.

From class to class I could see a marked improvement in my work.

I had been working on graphic design and then it seemed like I was doing animation stuff without real knowledge about workflows: it’s amazing to learn all these in the past 21 months.

Maxim K.

I am extremely happy to have studied at AnimSchool. I can honestly say that it was the best choice for my career.

I am happy to say that my dream to work on feature animation films came true for me. I have worked on 5 feature films already and it is all thanks to AnimSchool!

Nanda D.

Before I got into AnimSchool, I had worked on a movie and had some sense of how to get it done, but a lot of it was “hit and miss”.

Now I understand how things work; how to make it better and appealing. I used to wonder how our director could plan and create shots so quickly, and effectively. When she gave suggestions to improve my shots and turn it from average to outstanding, I’d ask myself, “why didn’t I think of that?” After AnimSchool, I felt empowered and no longer at a loss on what to do. With some of the commercials we did for Golem Studio, which I partly own, I could say, I nailed it!

Carlos R.

You mean, I have access to the resources – rigs, reviews, art classes & recordings like for a lifetime?

That General Reviews access is great news because I feel like I’m just starting off!

Indunil R.

I finished school, got a job and was promoted to Animation Supervisor all because of AnimSchool. It was an awesome, crazy ride thanks to you.

Prior to my studies I had a job as a 3D generalist guy. I was the guy assigned to do practically everything except the main animation - the one thing I've always wanted to do. The day I got accepted into your discount program was also the day I lost my job – it couldn’t have been worse because I was set to get married at the end of the term. We didn't even have a proper honeymoon!

Fortunately, Nu Boyana through WWFX, a full service visual effects company based in Bulgaria, hired me immediately based solely on my output from my first class here. I was working as a junior level animator while I was Class 2 and while I was in my Class 4, I was promoted to middle level animator. To top it all, we had a baby girl last December - but I didn't miss even a single lecture, not one! I am so grateful that I am able to finally finish my studies - something that would not have been possible if you had not given me Global Access Discount.

I worked on the post-production of the movie “London Has Fallen”, a job that challenged my artistic and technical abilities to the max!
Before the New Year, I was promoted once again as Head of Animation at Nu Boyana. Nu Boyana is owned by Millenium Films – the very same company that did Expendables, Rambo, Olympus Has Fallen, 300 and more. At the moment I work in Ubisoft Sofia as a senior animator since last March. Working on Assassin's Creed Origins.

Dimitar B.

You said I had made great strides in body mechanics - I have AnimSchool to thank for that progress.

Couldn’t believe I did it all from scratch - I didn’t know crap about 3D animation before I got here, so it’s really cool!

I have a job now but I’ll be back for general reviews and possibly for gaming studies.

Maikoe A.

People whose names I used to see in the movies are now teaching me and giving me the chance to learn face to face with them!

AnimSchool is the greatest way to reach my biggest dream of being an animator! It doesn’t matter where you live, you are always connected to great people and animators around the world! The teachers are always listening and open to hear about what you have to say or what you want to ask with the greatest smile all of the time!

People whose names I used to see in the movies are now teaching me and giving me the chance to learn face to face with them! It just depends on me now! The resources are the best of the best in AnimSchool.

Victor D.

No words can describe how thankful I am for studying at AnimSchool.

No words can describe how thankful I am for studying at AnimSchool.

Best career investment anyone can have!

All my instructors were amazing! They had high demands from us students but they were always nice, approachable and talked to us on the same level. And it was always fun collaborating with my friends at AnimSchool to achieve better results.

I have learned so much from my teachers and from my fellow students.
I already miss it!

A special thanks to the staff and founders for making all of this happen for us!
Thank you AnimSchool!

Yarden M.

AnimSchool gave me the opportunity to focus in animation and really improve in this field

AnimSchool was a point of change for me. Before this I was just feeling stuck working as a CG generalist and I had never had the chance to focus just in character animation, AnimSchool gave me the opportunity to focus in animation and really improve in this field. I want to say thanks to AnimSchool for offering the income-based discount. This was incredible for me; I couldn't afford a course like this in my country but with this discount, I could pay for all the course and after one year I got my first job in the animation industry.

Even after been working in the industry AnimSchool keep helping me to improve, each class is an opportunity to advance. I recommend AnimSchool to everyone; the staff is constantly making improvements in the school, the rigs are amazing and all the teachers are really helpful and talented.

I really recommend AnimSchool to everyone who wants to start or perfection his/her abilities I'm sure you wouldn't regret.

Jerson V.

I learnt more in my 18 months at AnimSchool than I did in my three years at university.

Joining AnimSchool has been the best decision I have ever made. After my degree I felt lost and unsure of what I wanted to pursue within the industry. I felt like I knew a little bit of everything but not enough to be confident in my discipline. I decided to take a few steps back and learn animation from scratch. I learnt more in my 18 months at AnimSchool than I did in my three years at university.

The support you get from the teachers is fantastic, and the community is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Everyone is pushing each other to get better and progress. Without AnimSchool I would be less happy and sure in life, as thanks to the course I have been able to start my career in the industry, working every day as an animator. The dream!

Arianna B.

I have artistically grown leaps and bounds since joining Animschool

AnimSchool has taught me how to model and rig for use in a feature or game, and what rules to apply regarding topology and edge flow for appealing deformation from industry veterans with movie/game credits longer than my arm!

I have learned to use many tools and they have also encouraged me to find and refine a workflow that works for me.

I chose AnimSchool based on the teachers that I saw from the website. The connections and long term friendships I have made with teachers and classmates even after the classes are also a huge benefit. The school also keeps up to date with industry standards and practices which is also a great advantage going forward. I have artistically grown leaps and bounds since joining AnimSchool and have enough knowledge and training to take my Game Development further onto bigger and better looking games! I also look forward to taking more classes as they become available and time permits. Thank you AnimSchool!

Alwyn D.

I can't believe that I got my dream job even before I finish my last class at AnimSchool

Animschool is the most successful decision in my life, I can't believe that I got my dream job even before I finish my last class at Animscool
I'm now an animator at Framestore :O yes!! at Framestore.

Before Animschool, I saw student work and go frame by frame and ask " HOW DID THEY DO THAT" :D I didn't know much about animation, but after joined Animschool everything has been changed!
From the first moment I signed in Animshool website I realized that I will get my dream job but I couldn't imagine that it will come so fast like that.
I found more than I expected in Animschool, fantastic instructors, great rigs, art classes, general reviews and for sure great people to help us!

Day after day at Framestore has proven to me, that I have been chosen the right school, I really learned all we need as animators to work in such a great movies, every detail, tips, and tricks that make the fantastic work, we learned at Animschool, that's because we learn with the greatest instructors.

I LOVE ANIMSCHOOOOOOOOL.

Mohammad A.

It feels empowering knowing I could model an appealing character as well as rig and animate it.

I worked as both a professional film animator and technical fix artist before starting at AnimSchool. However, I was curious what it took to work in other departments. It has always bothered me when I don't know how to do something, so I decided to learn more. I now feel as confident in modeling and rigging as I did in animation. It feels empowering knowing I could model an appealing character as well as rig and animate it. This new knowledge will definitely make me a more versatile artist no matter which direction I choose. I have great respect for every stage of the production pipeline and the hard work it takes to be successful.

Teresa S.

Going to AnimSchool I had very high expectations and in reality my experience in here turned out to be way better than I could hope!

All the instructors that I had were brilliant professionals and frendly guides in this journey. With help of their well organized lectures and consistent critiques I felt growth of my skills each term.
And not only mentors make this school so amazing! Overall studying process is highly organized, great many additional reviews of works (which are held in diffrent time of a day so we can always choose the most suitable for us), very interesting and informative master classes, wonderful art classes and last but not least is a great environment for collaboration between students.
Thanks to all this I felt huge support in my every step here!

I can barely express with words how thankful I am to all the instructors and school administrators for this incredible experience!

Sofia G.

I wish I knew about Animschool before I spent 2 years at another school

The instructors quickly get a handle on what you’re capable of, and help you push your limits.
I met and remain in contact with a great bunch of friends.
I’m extremely proud to be a graduate of this school that is filled with so much talent and friendliness.

Matt T.

AnimSchool is a great online school to use as tool to learn from great professionals in the actual animation industry...

...having the opportunity to interact with them and maintaining professional relationships with all the students.

And at the end, having many sources and utilities to keep learning animation without getting lost in this hard profession.

Javier V.

It's been a blast!

I think it's been a super enjoyable ride here. I kinda struggled in the middle of the body acting class because I felt I had some skills issues, but with the games course, I was super excited and focused my energies into that. The instructors, especially on the games side are among the best there is. They had been super kind with me - they not only taught me how to animate better, they also pushed me to become a good team member. Experienced and respected industry professionals share their vision and expertise so you could be the best!

Carlos A.

Even though it’s an online school it feels like a whole community of people who I have never met before but became really good friends with.

I am originally from India but living in Dubai. I started AnimSchool approximately 6 months back when I saw their name come up on Google. I was looking for a school teaching specifics rather than a generalist program, thus I joined their Character Program.

After starting I can’t believe I have made the best decision of my life. The teachers are amazing and they teach us sooo perfectly and to the point.

I would recommend each and everyone who wants to learn animation, modeling or rigging, to join AnimSchool for sure, as it’s simply the BEST!

Dilen S.

I had done commercials and worked on TV for 5 years, but during my first class at AnimSchool I realized that I didn’t know how to animate yet! This was just so different!

I worked on my last assignment en-route to Australia from Ecuador. I was hired to work as creature animator for Ghostbusters 2016 at Iloura, Sydney. It was a great and pretty challenging experience. Workflow was different than I was used to, because realistic Creature animation has a different approach than character cartoony animation. There were also lots of quick changes with really fast turnaround time. After some time I got used to it. There were also two AnimSchool instructors on board, Terry and Chris who gave me a lot of tips and advice when I needed it.

One of the greatest things here: all the rigs are really appealing and the designs are really cool. And that’s also one of the things Recruiters at studios are looking for, so it was a big plus. I made a very good choice.

Daniel J.

I earned a well-rounded education which would, at the end of the day, benefit my students in Mexico. Thanks to AnimSchool, I can now teach rigging classes!

I've learned a lot from all the professional animators at AnimSchool! Their stories about daily work in major studios and productions worldwide made the profession come alive for me.

Thanks to the staff for always being there - to welcome us every term, to judge our work, to be continuously aware of our courses. You really cared about our performance; whether we were doing well or not. The grade was not as important as the reviews: you cared so it was never enough to be in that state where we 'just coasted along' because you knew that wouldn’t fly and ultimately, that was the gold standard.

Imelda A.

I learned a lot of principles and techniques and a whole lot of stuff which I will always be grateful for.

It’s been two years and I’ve spent a lot of time and effort, but I also see that I need more polish to really measure up to what is considered excellent and refined in a competitive field. While still in school, I got really busy working as animator for ads and studio movies so I could not devote as much time to school projects and stretch my limits as I hoped to.

I’m glad that AnimSchool support in terms of reviews, video classes, characters and rigs will be there for me, 100% after I graduate.

AnimSchool has allowed me to advance in a career that is filled with opportunities; a big leap from being obscure to one that has a crack in the international market.

Carlos G.

Learning about animation in AnimSchool has been one of the best experiences in my life.

I've encountered so many people, students and teachers, who are enormously generous both with their time and their knowledge of animation.

Everything is at your fingertips; online reviews with some of the best animators in the world who really take the time to look at your work, amazing mentors who worked on some of the greatest shots from my favorite movies, inspiring fellow students who you can always ask for feedback, art classes from some of the best people in the business... all you have to do is put in the work.

Mark B.

I’ve been very fortunate to work in Spain and France. Luckily, work has been stable but I look forward to the day when I can work in the major studios in the U.S.A. and Canada.

Working as animator is always a difficult challenge and it can get quite competitive. But I have good foundation that I learned from the best and I try to do my best each time.

It’s been three years since I graduated but I still have a soft spot for AnimSchool and always look forward to its news and events. AnimSchool keeps on re-inventing itself and improving with fresh stuff, new rigs and art classes that graduates are free to join. Thanks Dave and the team – AnimSchool was a topnotch experience for me.

Javier V.

AnimSchool is the best decision I ever made in my life. Thanks to AnimSchool I am now in France working as a Lead Character TD for Dwarf Animation Studios. I have been here for almost 4 years and still dreaming of the day when I could work alongside the professors who taught me.

I chose the Character Program mainly because I love Rigging and there is no other school than AnimSchool that provides a specialized program in Rigging. I learned the full spectrum – from the most important basics to the more complex production practices. It was so much fun meeting my professors who are just amazing at what they do and they inspired and really motivated me to do better everyday.

We also have Dwarf Academy where we train future employees. I teach Rigging and Python coding so I kind of become an Instructor myself :P We have worked on commercials, short films and now currently we are working on three TV Series. AnimSchool is the best decision I ever made in my life. Thanks AnimSchool!

Dilen S.

Before AnimSchool, I was working as a modeler and was looking to push my skills further. I looked around and AnimSchool stood out from the crowd.

The instructors I had were extremely top notched. They have working production knowledge and are extremely dedicated to their craft. On a number of occasions, they had to put in extra time to ensure everyone got thorough critiques to move forward with their assignments. The instructors have highly invested in the success of the students and shared their knowledge freely. With that, students can feel safe, trust the quality of the classes and focus on assignments.

In addition, the classmates I had were very self- driven and I learned so much more from them; more than I had expected before joining this community of talented artists. In fact, over at Reel FX I'm working Juan, Daniel and Jeff! This is a true, unbiased testament to what the school offers. AnimSchool was one of the best experiences I've had and I am really proud to be part of this community.

Marcus N.

I was amazed by the content provided throughout the animation program, the professional instructors and the unique, high-quality rigs.

Studying at AnimSchool was a very important and challenging step in my career. I was looking for a good online animation school so I could learn from the best instructors in the field: a school that cares about its students before and after the program.

What made AnimSchool even more special were the extra curricular classes offered every term at no extra cost. General reviews (animation/modeling/rigging critiques) and art classes were standouts and made available even to graduates. By taking advantage of every resource generously offered to me by AnimSchool, I was able to infuse my shots with more animation quality, technical details and artistic touches. And surely enough, before I even finished the program I was working on my first feature film!

Khalid O.

I saw myself improve in a HUGE way term after term!

My studies at AnimSchool was a very special time for me. I have never learned as much as I did then. I now work as a 3D Character Animator at Mediamonks after going freelance for 1 1/2 years, but I still miss the interaction with my teachers and getting helpful tips. I’ve come to realize the full value of the critiques now that I am a professional and will forever be grateful to those who had taken the time to polish my skills.

Muharrem B.

Can’t be grateful enough to AnimSchool.

In my own opinion one of the biggest plus from AnimSchool, is that David Gallagher is always in contact with the students and alumni: at the school page, social media or mail, and he listens to them! David is always making sure that everything is working properly and that the students are motivated and learning lots. That kind of personalized attention and level of detail are assets that you wont find in any other online school.

AnimSchool is a great route to take if you want to get to your dream job fast in the animation industry (my continuous work is proof of that). The school prepares you to work in the top level animation studios.

I can proudly say that I owe AnimSchool, a whole lot and graduating is one of my biggest achievements. I recommend AnimSchool to anyone who is bent on having a great career – don’t hesitate. You won’t regret it.

We stretched our limits & just as soon as we thought we have reached it, we realized that we can still learn more and keep improving...that is simply amazing!

When I started in AnimSchool, I thought I was going to learn how to use the programs for 3D modeling and rigging - just with that I would have been happy.

Months into my training, I found out that learning to use the different kinds of software was only the tip of the iceberg. There was a lot more to learn such as: how to make the characters "appealing", how to solve the problems that arise during the creative process.... the heartbreaking making and undoing and making again to achieve the best results possible. AnimSchool was (and still is), without doubt, the best learning experience I had in my life. Thanks AnimSchool !!!!

I enjoyed my time at the school. I learned so much. I would definitely say it's the best education I've ever had--usually you don't expect it from online courses.

It was definitely worth all the funds I put into it, cause I'm working now (in the industry). I definitely appreciate all the classes and instructors. It was a great experience.

Before AnimSchool i had a few freelance gigs and was working with motion capture. However my dream was to make cartoons and learning with AnimSchool has help me achieve that as i now work as a animator on Doc McStuffins!

AnimSchool really help me get my head around timing and spacing, then learning more about how to add texture to a shot and then posing/lip sync really helped raise my game in animation. Im very happy i decided to do AnimSchool and will take full advantage of the general reviews classes now that im a graduted :)

AnimSchool was exactly what I needed! I was working as a 3D artist and began to feel somewhat lost with my career path.

I had strayed from doing what I loved, which was animation. One day it hit me that I had to make a reel and get back on track. AnimSchool was the best decision. It got me on track and helped me really focus on character animation only.

The teachers were the best! All were animators working in the industry. The one-on-one critiques helped me reach the next level as an animator. It’s so cool to be connected to my fellow graduates and see so many of them working as animators at some of the best studios! Currently I am an animator at Moonbot studios in Shreveport LA. Thanks AnimSchool.

My AnimSchool showreel landed me a job at Framestore (UK) and currently I’m working on two films - wish granted!

Before doing the AnimSchool animation course, I was working in game and was quite good at it. However, for the longest time, I wanted to work in film. Thanks to AnimSchool I was able to learn so much: from the basics of body mechanics to advanced acting shot.

The excellent Instructors they have are approachable and involved: always helping and finding ways to push my animation skills to professional levels. It was difficult working on the class assignments while having a full time job but it was worth it!

After tons of research into different online animation schools, I decided on Animschool. It was the best decision I could have made.

The staff were friendly and professional in every communication with me, and the teachers extremely knowledgeable being some of the best animators in the industry. Class time is a good mix of laid back chatter and serious to the point lectures and critiques, making the Animschool class environment very informative and welcoming.

I would highly recommend Animschool for the aspiring animator who doesn't know where to start, as well as the animator who has been in the industry for awhile, looking for the tools to bring their skills to the next level. Trust me, this is the place to learn animation.

AnimSchool was a game starter for me. I enrolled in the program knowing nothing about animation, and before I even graduated I had moved to my 3rd animation job.

Every class taught me exactly what I needed to know when I needed to know it. The mechanics supported the funny body acting, the pantomime supported the broad performance, the broad supported the subtle emotional one, and before I knew it I had accomplished a little bit of everything I thought was impossible for a student to do. Animation was one of the hardest things I've ever learned, but thanks to the support and countless resources provided by Animschool, I never struggled for too long.

Thanks for everything...it truly has been an incredible experience. A big big thanks to all the instructors. They really do give with alot of heart.
