Puppeteer Lounge Animation student James Rowbotham’s feedback
James Rowbotham (UK)
~ “I took the “Basic Foundation” Animation Workshop to improve my
animation and to learn how to use Maya. I was very pleased with the course; the
small class sizes as well as the open and friendliness of the teacher created
an engaging and fun environment to learn. As soon as I finish “Basic
Foundation” I will straight away be starting “Body Mechanics” and in the future
I would like to take some of the rigging and python courses that PuppeteerLounge has to offer.”
