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."
