Question.01
What are the key takeaways
from this class?


Our focus is not simply teaching the fundamentals of animation but instead demonstrating how VCRWORKS actually creates an animation from start to finish. Students will gain access to every single step of our workflow including story writing, compositing, and editing, and also learn about the step-by-step process of producing a 2D animation as a team and how to overcome relevant challenges and obstacles in depth.

Question.02
What do you think differentiates
VCRWORKS from other companies?


We are unique in that we continually strive to make our imagination a reality whether that be for a commercial, original animation, or any other type of work. When we feel the need to express something, we do not hesitate to set a goal and take on that challenge even if it’s something we’ve never done before. That is what sets us apart from other companies.

Question.03
What do you expect students
to gain from this class?


This class will provide an opportunity for those just starting out to gain hands-on experience in animation production and to understand the essentials of the key animation software TVPaint. In addition, for those who do have animation experience, we will share the expertise that we have accumulated through our more than 100 projects to demonstrate how to enrich characters’ acting and use different types of software effectively.
