Ray Ross

Ray is the best mentor I’ve had. He’s an amazing person, a super talented, hard-working and inspiring artist and an incredibly dedicated teacher. The interest he shows in his students’ works is extraordinary. He’s always seeking to help them push the quality of their assignments and constantly making sure they’ve got all the support they need. The enthusiasm and expertise shown in his Q&As are outstanding as he’s always looking out to create the richest experience possible for his students.

Ray really cares. He goes above and beyond for the students in that he explains concepts really well and he’s open to checking work mid-week before submission. He grades fairly which to me is very important because realistically I like to know how I am doing without worrying if my mentor is sugarcoating. In that way he is tough, which makes me work harder and animate better each week. Above all else, he is sooo knowledgeable and friendly, a great mentor. One of the best. LOVE HIM 🙂

Mr. Ross really inspires us, not just through his links but also just by how passionate he is about animation and teaching. He is not afraid to give feedback, which personally has really helped me grow as an animator. I know if not for him I would still be doing the same workflow that caused my animation to be floaty.

Ray is an amazing mentor who cares a lot about his students. He goes out of his way to teach us what we need to know. He’s super fast in getting back to emails and will demo anything you need him to. He’s the kind of mentor that teaches you the way an animator should. His feedback and suggestions are the best.

Ray has demonstrated the full capacity of what a mentor should be doing at animation mentors. In Ray’s eCrits he actually breaks down every minute detail in your shot, some things I will have missed or have barely thought about. His live QA’s goes into great length about the course matter of the week by giving examples in traditional animation and live action.

I can say Ray is my favourite mentor so far. He’s a great animator but also an excellent teacher. He genuinely cares about the growth of his students. He is very encouraging and doesn’t make you feel like a rookie. His Q+A’s are very informative and fun. I feel comfortable asking a question at any point and he lets you email him and he gets back to you very quickly.
