Description

Michal is here for you!  The Mentorship Workshop is a small class of 7 people. The time spent here focuses on you and your current needs as an animator. Each student gets a half hour block of time with Michal, once a week, along with the opportunity to email him for animation feedback throughout the week and receive notes back. Use the time with Michal however you feel would help your animation grow.

Does your shot need polish? Do you want help coming up with Demo Reel Ideas?
Want to geek out about animation philosophy? Or deep dive into animation topics?
Want to see a LIVE demo on something?

Michal will help you craft your good ideas into great ones.  He will let you know if your goals are within your skill set and achievable, and what to work on next to level up your skillset.  No more wasting time!

You will get a personalized 30 minutes with Michal each week to go over whatever you are working on.

Michal will also provide video notes (when applicable) between each session.
