so far im very happy with the course.

By daniel Durruti Wloka on 10/27/2020

Compared to the build-in tutorial section of Character Animator the focus of this course is understanding the tools rather than showing off what the tools can do. For learning the program indepth this is a huge benefit

I have a day to make an animation. This is something I need in order to make that happen.

By Cheryl Fliege on 8/12/2020

Audio is not very good--dog barking in background. One section on the photo development of a puppet just ended abruptly without finishing the thought. This seems to be very stream of consciousness.

By Samrao on 7/18/2020

Characters used for example are not human. Most of the time, one is animating human beings. Not relevant. Disappointed

By Steven Levar on 7/18/2020

I loved this course so much! Davids instructions were super clear and easy to follow. Watching This instructors creativity, especially the background tutorial video was A+. I am so excited to begin this new and exciting journey. Thank you so much!
