Animation Taster Day Saturday 22 September

Learn to animate a bird in flight in just one day

We're running an Animation Taster Day here at Escape Studios on Saturday 22 September.

Taster Days are a great chance to learn about character and creature animation, and find out what an animator's job is all about.

You will learn how to use Autodesk Maya and get a hands-on introduction to 3D Animation techniques, all for just £25.

By the end of the day you'll have your own piece of creature animation - a bird in flight - uploaded to your YouTube channel.  No prior knowledge of Maya - or any software - is required.  So, how do you sign up?

What's this all about?
