Learn Photo-Realistic 3D Computer Animation!
Doing 3D animation and video special effects is so amazing and fun. Our last animation class was a blast! Everyone pitched in to put a short animated film on the web. Check it out! http://3drobots.blogspot.com/

Download this flyer to read more about the class.

In the next class, we're going to learn how to make photo-realistic 3d animations and how to composit your animation with live video using a video editor. I'll show you some camera matching and tracking tricks. And we'll make some pretty amazing movies that you can share with your friends. This is really fun, hands-on class. Don't let the technical stuff scare you away. The class has been designed so that it will be enjoyable for beginners, and challenging enough for more advanced folks. Here's the schedule for the next classes that I'm teaching:

Any age is welcome to join the class. I encourage parents to acompany youger kids. We will focus on doing 3d animation projects. My goal in each class is to teach in depth 3D Animation topics, and keep the class very hands-on and fun. So, I have prepared a mini-project for each week that can be done by younger students and more advanced students.
