We are pleased to inform you about our satellite Animation School in downtown Crown Point, Indiana!
Disney Veteran Greg Manwaring (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0544337/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 ) personally conducts the classes, teaching the same hand-drawn (2D) curriculum that he developed (over 3 years) for his students at the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles, California.a
Classe size at the Tinseltown Animation School is limited to 10 students per course so that there is in-depth one-on-one training with Mr. Manwaring. A second group of 10 will be set up as needed.
The class instructions include:
- Beginner level: The Essential Basics of Animation
Learning the 12 core principles of animation, while improving your basic
drawing skills and design sense. Making things move!
- Intermediate level: Skill Development
Learning to Act, design characters, giving weight to characters, defying
gravity, understanding physics with character locomotion. Giving life to
characters!
- Advanced level: Concepts and Skills
Acting exercises with characters (one, two, multiple). Getting real world
skills that can get you hired.
*Please note: There will also be lectures, both in-house and over zoom, with top industry professionals!
Students are individually mentored and work at their own comfortable pace. There is no time pressure placed on the student which might hinder their ability to absorb and utilize the skills they are learning.
To be clear, after completing the three areas of study listed above our Tinseltown Animation School students will NOT receive any sort of educational 'Degree', as they would expect after completing 4 years of study at a major university (where they will have spent between $120,000 - $300,000).
What they will get are a special set of skills that will allow them to pursue making their own films/shows, or have a solid chance of getting their 'foot in the door' on a major film production. At the end of the day, no one will get a job in the Animation industry because they possess an 'Animation Degree' - you are either competent or not - and your work will speak for itself!
The Classes will run all year long and mostly be in-person. Some classes may need to be held via zoom based on illness, business and/or private travel of Mr. Manwaring, and will not affect their learning.
Classes are being held in Crown Point, Indiana at 115 S. Court Street (CP Coworking offices) on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:30pm - 8:30pm.
Cost of Classes are $500 per month (8 classes).
[Note: $5,000 per Month is the average cost at big name schools like CalArts, USC, Savannah, and Otis]
