Why i created this course ?
there are Tons of valuable information that i learned during my Workdays with animation companies that i want to share with you.
What inspired me to create this course ?
As i was starting to learn this i was very amazed by the animation movies and i always wanted to learn how its done.I kept on searching online and in Training centers to find something that teaches architectural animation but i couldn't find something that satisfies me .Then i had the opportunity to work for a small animation company. I left my job as an architect and took the job at that small animation company.
Working in a small company actually gave me a huge advantage to learn more. Part of my job was to hold meetings with the clients, To make storyboards myself , do the modeling the rendering and even the montage and final retouches.
How can this course help Me?
The information you are about to learn are Real valuable ones ,For every phase of work there are these small tricks that can save you massive amount of time,effort and money.
and my job is to point that out and give you my best solutions.
i am also working on the bigger picture of organizing your work and deals with clients.

The three parts are extremely useful and systematized. It gives the entire process of animation from communication with the client to post-production. I highly recommend it.
