If you’re an aspiring animator, chances are you’ve heard about the Animation Mentor program.
The Emeryville-based online school founded by Pixarians recently held an open ‘webinar’ opportunity with a couple of well known animators from the studio. Watch and learn from the pros, Aaron Hartline and Victor Navone:
Whether you dream of bringing characters to life or not (there are some very useful tips presented) I think Pixar fans unanimously enjoy this type of content. If you like what you saw above, check out the rest of the ‘webinar’ with the Cars Toons director and the noted Toy Story 3 animator, streaming here.
Learn more about Animation Mentor at their official website. I hear their program is absolutely fantastic! Remember to follow the school on Twitter to stay in the loop for great opportunities like this in the future.

Error in article: Aaron was not a supe on ts3.
thanks for posting this Martin! Animation Mentor seems like such a great program. I keep watching the videos on their site, and I think that I am seriously going to considering becoming a ‘Mentor’ student in a few years.
Anonymous- You’re right, fixed. 🙂 It’s funny because I actually did meet the real “supes” Bobby Podesta and Mike Venturini, great guys!
love70ways- No problem. 🙂 I wish you luck as you pursue your dreams, Animation Mentor seems like a great place to do that.
