FEATURED MENTOR

SEAN SEXTON

Sean Sexton is currently an animator at Dreamworks Feature Animation. Sean started his career as a Character Layout Artist/Animator on Matt Groening's Futurama. After four years on Futurama, he left to work on Dreamworks' Sinbad Legend of the Seven Seas. He then made the switch to computer animation for Sharktale, Aardman's Flushed Away, Over the Hedge, and Jerry Seinfeld's Bee Movie. Sean is currently an active mentor at Animation Mentor.

The eCritique® tool is an innovative key element in the Animation Mentor program. Each week, a professional mentor will provide their students with a newly recorded video critique on their weekly animation assignment. This provides valuable insight, feedback and suggestions on ways to improve students’ weekly assignments and animation skills. In addition to viewing their own critiques, students may also view the critiques of their peers, learning from their mistakes and successes as well.
