Animation Taster Day Tuesday 1st March

Animate a cartoon truck with Lee Caller
We're running a free online Animation Taster at Escape Studios on Tuesday 1st March 2022 at 5pm, taught by short course animation tutor Lee Caller.

Taster Classes 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. No prior knowledge of Maya - or any software - is required.

Animation Taster
This free one-hour taster
Taster Day with Lee Caller
 offers a brief introduction to the art of 3D Animation, exploring what it’s like to work as a professional animator.
 
Cartoony Vehicle
The project will involve animating a cartoon vehicle driving and skidding around a corner, with the camera chasing - and will equal approx. 3 to 5 seconds of animation. 

 The session will include a 20 minute introduction to the basics of Autodesk Maya, 30minutes to animate the truck and 10 minutes to create a camera and produce a video.

Installation of Maya
Autodesk Maya
If you would like to follow along live with this session (which we recommend), you will need to install a free copy of Maya, which you can do here. Either download the student license or (even easier) the 30 day trial version. 

Escape Method
The Escape Method is how we teach at Escape Studios; it's a well-proven system of intensive personal tuition in 3D character and creature animation, combined with online support at our Vimeo Tutorial Channel, industry feedback, and a strong focus on securing paid employment in the rapidly expanding animation and visual effects industry.
