I've been taking a new class with Animation Collaborative and my animation skills have shot up a big step in only 3 weeks. I'm taking the lecture/demo class and it is one of the most valuable classes I have ever taken. Its entertaining, educational and your skills will improve a ton. Mike is a charming and knowledgeable mentor that will offer tips and tricks that most teachers either don't know about or won't bother to tell you. He explains animation in a simple way and he explains physics in a way that is easy to understand (very important thing to understand if you're animating!). You will start to notice details you had not noticed before. If you get a chance, take it! Soooo worth the money, I assure you!
