I have spent several years learning different kinds of software while freelancing personal and commercial projects. Along the way I have collected a bunch of useful knowledge that can be translated into engaging video tutorials. So while I continue to create zany animated adventures, I want to share with you what I have learned.
I have worked for several companies over the years creating eLearning content. Some of these include: Smith Micro, Virtual Training Company, Packt Publishing, Train Simple and Pluralsight.
My animation is freelance based and isn't as well known as my eLearning content. I have a few animation projects I currently have my hands in. In addition, I work for others who need animation assistance.

I love this course. The teaching style is so relatable and easy to understand. I feel completely prepared to create an animation now and can hardly wait to take more courses from this instructor.

This course was excellent! It got me started in character animator and it was so helpful. Thank you so much!

I already have skills in After effects and this course joined up nicely with that. The logic in both apps is very similar.All in all a great course for somebody like me who needed to understand character rigging etc - but I would recommend learning the basics of AE and PS to get full advantage of this course.A well presented and very clear course as far as I'm concerned.

Very good at covering the basics of rigging and recording. A little light on creating scenes and working with multiple puppets.

There is a lot to take in but the instructor is really good at explaining the material. It really helps to have the files he provides as well.

Has Been very helpful in understanding where i was messing up and why i was, which i feel is just as important and makes for a much better class.

This is a great get to know the layout of CH and jump right in. following along and duplicating the instructors examples is a great way to learn new software.
