Faculty Overview
If you’re a fan of animation — and something tells us you are — you may have seen our work on feature animation films or in games. That’s because all of our faculty are professional animators who are currently employed with major animation studios. And getting to know our work is a very big part of getting to know us.
What Makes a Mentor?
Most of our mentors come highly recommended by other professional animators in the industry. Referral or no, everyone goes through the same rigorous screening and training process that includes:
-
Professional Animators Only
Submitting a demo reel and resume and going through a somewhat-traditional interviewing process, including emails and phone meetings.
-
Quality Assurance
A training period as a campus mentor for one full term, to learn about and immerse within the school, community, and build and improve teaching skills.
-
We Mentor our Mentors
Training with a mentor supervisor to cover Live Q&As, assignment flow, being the director, critiquing, class management, grading, sharing life lessons, and more!
