Dave Vasquez

Dave is ranked among the best mentors/teachers I have encountered in any educational situation. At every turn he has shown a personal interest in seeing us succeed, whether that’s recording extra tutorials, answering our questions throughout the week, or providing us with all the relevant information to improve our work to get us ready for the animation industry. I love his prepared lectures and that he takes extra time to give us real insights when we have additional questions in our Q&As.

Dave was a great surprise. In his first message to us he seemed very much “by the book”, but during the QAs it turned out to be completely untrue. He’s super fun, open and extremely generous with his time. He leaves a lot of space for questions and takes time to really explain things in depth. He genuinely seems to care – remembering who did what. His critiques are kind and encouraging and always motivate me to keep going and get over my insecurities. He’s been amazing and taught me so much!!!!!

Dave is an amazing mentor. If we had a question, Dave would send us a Vimeo tutorial about how to do certain things in Maya. This was super helpful. Dave also sent extra lecture material about some principles I need to apply better in my Animation. I would recommend Dave to any animator, because he is Just like his Animation reel, amazing!

Dave is amazing!! His Q&A’s are always super helpful and whenever I email him about anything he’s always quick to reply. I don’t think I’d want him to do anything differently cause he’s already awesome.

Such a great mentor! Went out of his way to provide extra training videos for us. Always took the time to answer any questions we had and was very organized in his lectures! Great job!
