Welcome to this course! My name is Lucas Ridley and I’ve been a professional animator for 10 years working on major movies like Avengers: Infinity War, Ready Player One, Transformers: The Last Knight, and games like The Last of Us Part 2.In this course, I will share my experience and knowledge about how I kickstarted my animation career and went from knowing nothing about animation to working at an Academy Award-winning studio and on blockbuster movies. This course is not an animation tutorial. It’s career-focused strategies I learned by breaking into the industry myself. Most of this is not taught in school or textbooks. We will also hear from 7 other industry pros about their diverse experiences and backgrounds. I will speak openly and honestly so you can save time and energy by learning concepts I figured out the hard way. By the end of the course, you will have a roadmap and understanding about what it takes to get into this competitive but rewarding industry.
