Instructor Details

Lucas Ridley

My work has been featured in Annie-nominated, Emmy-winning, and Oscar short-listed short films. I'm an animator and commercial director and I've created content for brands like LEGO, Braun, Nestle, and Anhueser-Busch. I recently worked at the birthplace of visual effects, Industrial Light & Magic where I worked on films by Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg and most recently on the record-breaking Avenger's: Infinity War as an animator

I'm eager to share my professional knowledge that has allowed me to make a career out of creating content for big brands and big movies.
