Student Success Story

Anna successfully switched careers into animation while living in wartorn Ukraine.

She did this with no experience in animation. Four months after enrolling in Beginner she had her first job working remotely for an animation studio in the United Kingdom. She has a bright future that began with no experience, overcoming the stress of war, and in a very short amount of time achieved her dreams. If she can do it, I think it’s possible for you too. Unlock your next career goals just like Anna.

Student Testimonials:

"Learning with Lucas on Animators Journey Beginner has truly exceeded my expectations. This course has helped me enormously in highlighting areas I could improve that I couldn’t identify alone and allowed me to delve much deeper into the fundamentals. Before taking this course, I had self-taught and taken online classes but felt as though my animation was plateauing. Whilst I was progressing through my classes and moving onto more complex animations, my work felt like it was lacking in areas. After finishing my online studies and beginning to self-teach again, I was really struggling to identify where I needed to improve.

The best thing about learning with Lucas is his dedication to give you the necessary tools, knowledge and feedback to understand the fundamentals of animation and the highlight areas to improve. He doesn’t stop providing feedback until you’ve reached the best quality you can in the animation. It’s something that is so admirable and makes his course unique to other online classes. I feel going forward that I have much more confidence in animating again. I would highly recommend to anyone just starting out in animation, or someone who is struggling to see where they could improve in their work like I was. I’m sure it would help you on your journey, and I am glad to have found this course! Thank you for all your support Lucas!"
