Interview with Veteran Animator Steve Cunningham
In our 35th episode, there was so much Steve Cunningham goodness that we had to split it up in to two podcasts! With 20 years in the industry, he had some great insight and practical wisdom to share. Having worked in both 2D & CG animation, he's worked on such films as Anastasia, The Croods, Frozen, Kung Fu Panda 2, and most recently The Book of Life. Listen to part 1 of this interview and check back in early April for part 2.

Modeling & Maya Intro Workshop
Our Modeling & Maya Introduction workshop is a great way to learn how to build unique and specific props and sets for your animation shots. It's also a great way to get familiar with Maya, particularly if you're new to animation and want to enroll in one of our animation workshops (i.e. Feature, Game, & Creature). We have some spots available for our Spring session starting April 6th.

Industry Crowdfunding - Movement & Form
iAnimate friend & talented 2D industry artist Samantha Youssef, has launched a KickStarter for her first book on figure drawing.
My syllabus stems from my studies at art academies around the world, my experience as a hand drawn feature animator, my directing experience with CG animators, and my training in classical ballet. It's a method that applies to a wide range of artists from different backgrounds, CG & hand drawn animators, visual development artists, comic book artists, story artists, illustrators, character designers, sculptors, fine artists, art students and anyone who loves to draw.
