The goals of the course are to learn the principles of character motion mechanics, learn how to work with its movement in space and create dynamic scenes with chases or battles. We’ll also work on conveying the weight and talk about animated character design and expressive positions.

You'll gain fundamental knowledge and practical skills in animation that are essential for becoming a professional and working in the industry. Upon completion, you'll have a demo reel showcasing your skills to potential employers.
It’s straightforward: first, you get the theory, then you practice. Each lesson comes with video instructions, visual examples, and assignments that you complete at your own pace — just make sure to submit your work on time to receive feedback from the instructor! The course is available in a convenient format, so you can study from anywhere in the world, using just your tablet or computer.
The schedule is determined closer to the start of the courses. Classes usually begin no earlier than 17:00 UTC, most often on weekdays. If you're unable to attend on certain days, you can always watch the recording.
If you're unsure whether your timezone is compatible for effective learning, please feel free to reach out to us on WhatsApp: https://wa.me/33749767306
We accept students from the age of 16, since the course program is intensive and it will be difficult for a child to keep up and understand.
BUT, on an individual basis, we can accept students from 14 years of age on the course. At the same time, we consider the student’s work and potential.
A place on the course is reserved for you only if you pay for the first month of training or the entire course at once. The number of places in study groups is limited and is indicated on the course page. As a rule, there are few open places left closer to the start of the course; enrollment into the group also closes early due to the large number of applicants.
We also recommend our students to make payments in advance to avoid unpleasant situations with the time required for the processing of the payment.
You will be invited to the study group about a week before the start of the course, there will be the very basic information on the learning process, and the materials on the training platform will open on the start day. All links will be sent to you at the specified email address, however, it happens that they may end up in the “spam” or “promotion” sections, so we recommend checking these folders too).
During the week before the start of training, you will receive letters with preparation instructions.
First of all, you will need to install Discord - your study group will be there. Your supervisor or teacher in the study group, to which you will be added a week before the start, will provide you with information about the training programs.
In general, for classes you will need: a computer or laptop, a headset and a webcam (not required, but recommended).
Classes are held in Zoom, so you need to install it and the Discord messenger.
First, we’ve gathered all the essential materials for you, so you don’t waste time searching for lessons and resources online.
Second, you always have access to the instructor — if you run into issues, you can ask questions and get professional answers.
Most importantly, our course is structured to guide you step-by-step, from simple to complex, preventing confusion.
Because we teach practical skills! Our focus is on getting you animating after just a few lessons, rather than spending years on theory. Plus, we offer a flexible schedule — learn whenever it’s convenient for you!
After successful (passing all the required course credits) completion of each course, we issue a certificate in electronic form. Important: this is not a state diploma, i.e., it does not provide any benefits. We focus on the fact that during your studies you collect a portfolio, which is more significant in the field of animation.
Our team will reach out to you
