What Ere’s Students are Saying
Super Patient in Answering All Questions
Ere is one of the best. His suggestions always work and he is super patient in answering all questions. I didn’t expect to learn this much in class 4.
His Passion to Help Others Really Shows
Ere is very amazing as a mentor and animator. I would recommend him to anyone. You can’t go wrong with Ere and his passion to help others really shows.
Does Everything to Help You Understand
Ere is awesome glad I chose him. He does everything to help you understand the basics of performance and tries his best to have them implemented in our shots.
5/5 Superstar Mentor
Ere is a 5/5 superstar mentor when he is around! It’s just that his inconsistent availability (due to studio crunch time on his current project) has had some impact on the class. That being said, he’s a fantastic mentor and I would highly recommend him.
The Best Mentor I've Ever Had
Ere was one of the best mentor I’ve ever had in my entire life. It was a pleasure for me to have him as a mentor. I’ll keep suggesting other students to take class 4 with him! You’ll never regret waking up early to go to his Q&As. Funniest and greatest person I’ve ever met. From all our class: We love you Ere 🙂 You’ll always have an special place in our hearts. You’ll always be our supervisor!
Critiques are Focused and Cut to the Quick
Ere’s a delight as a mentor, with a good handle on explaining concepts and elaborating on why he’s chosen to do something during a demo. His eCritiques are focused and cut to the quick in a way that’s great for finding the key pain points in a shot.
His Crits are Super Clear and Helpful
He is overall a great mentor. Has a 1-on-1 with his students to have a mid-semester check up and help us know where we are, how we are doing and more. His crits are super clear and helpful too
Pushes Us to be Better Animators
I rated my mentor high because he is a tough mentor but he pushes us to be better animators. I don’t think I’d learn as much without the push.
