Interview with Studio Technique artistic director Samantha Youssef

In our 9th podcast, and second for 2013, we steal some time from Studio Technique's founder and artistic director Samantha Youssef. Samantha has worked as a character animator for Walt Disney Animation, and has a rich background in the arts and traditional animation, which make for a great conversation about how those can play a major roll in CG today.

Student Testimonials

“The reel I submitted is the most recent work I did during my games workshops that I finished in iAnimate last 2021. My older feature workshop shots gave me my first shot in the industry, and I've been working for the past 10 months thanks to everything I've learned through iAnimate.”

Success Stories

“After doing my research it was clear iAnimate was exactly what I needed. With the small class sizes and incredible roster of instructors, there was a ton of opportunity to really pick their brains and get into the weeds of acting theory, character depth, workflow, and execution."

Industry Articles

Where do animators usually work? The stress of a lonely animator is mirrored directly in their work, which can further amplify the stress cycle. None of which is healthy for the industry or the individual. However, it should not happen.
