Working Instructors

Experienced Teachers

Learn from instructors working at film and game 3D animation studios!
You may have seen our instructors' work on the big screen or at home on your television.
Who are we?
working with instructors at AnimSchool, students learn from professionals from animation studios like Dreamworks, Sony Pictures, Disney, and Blue Sky Studios.
Our instructors go through a screening process at AnimSchool, just like they did to get their studio job. We want experienced industry professionals teaching our students.
Students can watch the demo reel of every instructor at AnimSchool, so you can be confident that you are being taught by a skilled professional.
Each class has listings taught by particular instructors, at certain days and times each week, so students can pick the one that works best for them.
