What previous students have achieved on this course: “I feel I have achieved quite a lot. I do use the program at home and have lots of fun with it. My most exciting achievement is being able to make my lifetime hobby of drawing mystical characters finally move.” AM
“I’ve learnt how to use the majority of tools in Animate and how to rotoscope and do all 3 tweens. This course has enabled me to find a new interest and potentially take it further.” RG
