David Vallone

I’ve had so many things finally click for me in Dave’s class. His analogy of timing and spacing being like music and how staccato or long the notes represent spacing, made it so much clearer for me. His focus on holding poses for them to read has helped me tons. He completes eCrits quickly, providing great feedback. He fits a lot into Q&As while ending them on time. He sends weekly shorts for inspiration, and above all is so kind and approachable. One of my favorite mentors thus far.

Dave’s class was amazing. I appreciate his insights as well as support during this journey. I am willing to take his class again. Moreover, I personally liked his grading system because I wanted to measure myself whether I could hit the industry level of skills, I needed the honest grading. Thank you so much.

Dave is super helpful and supportive, he motivates me a lot to always push my animation to make it as best as I can. His Q&As are super fun and enjoyable, I always look forward to lessons with him.

I felt like Dave had a good sense for how to breach the subject matter of each class, as well as the critiques for each assignment, in a way that felt engaging, easy to understand and that gave me a strong sense for how to improve over time. It was super easy to follow along with everything and remain motivated, I can’t help but admire his way of teaching.

Overall, my experience with Dave has been through and through very pleasant, enriching, informative and a great collaborative process. He is one of the best mentors I’ve had the privilege of studying under honestly.

Dave is a very patient and nice mentor! I had certain issues throughout the class, and he will always take time to help me out. I really appreciate all his help and understanding. He is also really good at acting; he would show us how he would act it out.

Dave is warm and very approachable with any questions. I loved that he took time to give his critique and explained in detail all the little nuances that could improve the shot. He also always made sure we had understood his feedback before moving on to his next lecture. I am grateful that I had a chance to be under his mentorship this term. Thank you for all your guidance.

Dave is a great and energetic mentor who always tries to give the best feedback he can. He is attentive and tries to answer all the questions that we have for him. I have thoroughly enjoyed his classes and felt like I have grown a lot during this term. Keep up the great work Dave!
