Animation in Twelve BLANK Lessons

This lengthy 13 hour video series will show you how to master the twelve steps of a digital production pipeline that is built for the individual artist. Keyword being, "individual", because while this pipeline is based off the same steps animation studios use, the course is meant for YOU, the indie story teller / cartoonist / animator to produce marketable animation FAST!
