Animation Workshop
Puppeteer Lounge is pleased to announce Animation Workshops! Puppeteer Lounge started off initially as a character rigging training workshop but with the demand from our passionate students, we have kicked off the animation training workshop starting from the date of our 1st successful anniversary. Initially we will be starting off with Workshop 1 “BASIC FOUNDATION” and Workshop 2 “BODY MECHANICS” 🙂
These workshops will be personally guided and mentored by Manish Shakya, an aspiring animator who have over 3 years experience as a character animator working for Incessant Rain Animation Studio. He is currently working as a freelance animator for Escape Animation and is also doing his graduation from Animation Mentor! He also did some of the animation work for the characters from the rigging workshop. Welcome aboard Manish 🙂
