~ Lesson queries ~
Do I need any specific equipment for your sessions?
Nope! You will not need anything in particular. All necessary equipment and material will be brought along with me!
I generally bring a portable workstation ( a pretty powerful laptop) to clients' houses, along with other animation learning resources, such as an iPad ( for shooting reference videos as well as Stop motion animation) or any other means of animation learning!

What sort of learning environment can you offer?
A non pressured, relaxed and very enjoyable atmosphere. My whole goal is to teach with a fun and interesting approach, allowing imagination to flow and really come alive!
Will I need any previous animation experience?
Nope! Although it can be of use, you will not need any prior experience in animation.
I am perfectly happy to teach you from the most basic stages or wherever you are comfortable,
building up your confidence and knowledge as we go!

Can I book one off sessions?
Of course. A one off session will be a minimum of two hours and have an arranged hourly rate depending on your location.
The session will include a general run through of all aspects of animation and allow you to take part
in sample aspects of my usual lessons.
( *Warning* You WILL want to come back for more! )

Do you have a planned course or improvised lessons?
Both! As well as innovative and adaptable sessions, I have my own constructed lesson plan for consecutive lessons, teaching from the beginning of an idea, all the way through to the full creation process.

Do you teach different levels of difficulty?
Yes I do! It all depends on how much you know already.
I can start right from the top and show you how to make a character really come alive and seem like a real person.
Or I can start from the very beginning of learning how to spark up an idea for a gripping concept or character!
