This is another mighty course organised by Escape Studios. The course itself has been developed and taught by Pixar Veteran Jeff Pratt. Jeff honed his character animation skills on some of Pixar's best loved movies including Toy Story, Monsters Inc., Geri's Game and A Bug's Life. It begins with a professional introduction to all aspects of creating CG work using Maya and then move on to look into the core principles of animation, realistic movement, weight and timing, which as we all know are the secret of life.
