3D Animation Evening Class Starts 30 October

Sherlock Gnomes

On Tuesday 30th October we're launching a new part-time animation evening class.

Teaching the class is our newest animation tutor, MPC animator Michelle From, a graduate of the Animation Workshop in Denmark, whose credits include Sherlock Gnomes, a just-released animated feature film made right here in London. 

Michelle was also the lead animator on her graduation film ‘Tsunami’, which was included in the official Cinéfondation selection at Festival de Cannes.

3D Animation is a part-time evening class, running for 8 weeks from 7-10 pm at our High Holborn campus. The class will run two nights a week, Mondays and Wednesdays.
