Thanks for all the great recommends Rob. This helps so much. It's so hard to find great animators, but your online school has got some great talent (good job). I'll keep in touch as I am always developing new cg projects.
Lorcan Finnegan (Director)

Eugene was extremely dedicated to the project and worked very hard to create perfectly believable CG foxes for our film.

Freakin awesome... I was overjoyed by seeing the results of that technique yesterday :D
John Knowles

"The techniques that Rob showed me really helped to improve my workflow and add the extra subtleties required for realistic creature animation."
Brecht Debaene

"This being my first realistic creature animation piece, Rob helped me to get it to the level where it needed to be. This was the only creature piece on my reel and was pivotal in getting the attention of a major VFX studio!"
Luis Batista

"I signed up for the creature online tuition by Rob because although I have been animating for years, I did not have a clear idea on how to tackle quadruped animation, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to learn from someone that has an extensive experience with creature animation. Using Rob's techniques and tips, its made it so much easier and fun for me to animate creatures. A well explained process that I can rely on to get faster and good quality animation. Thanks Rob!"
Deepak

Guys joining the creature animation course by Rob is the best thing I have done when it comes to animation learning. Its totally worth it. Thanks Rob.
Michael Gazley

Its not easy to get the hang of realistic quadruped animation, and There is really no substitute for having the eye and advice of a seasoned pro to guide you through it. I have been tutored by Darren for my time on this course, and have really enjoyed it. His critique is a great blend of encouragement and the attention to detail that your need to focus in on the subtleties of creature animation. Its hard work for sure, but Darren managed to make it real fun, and kept me positive and looking forward to each days work. This has been an incredible learning experience. Thank you Darren!

“I recently started freelancing in London. Robert has been a fantastic help. He got me to work at a major London post-house very quickly. Efficient and reliable, I am here to witness that Rob is the person to contact for recruitment needs in the vfx industry.”
Eugene Mischenko

“Having several years experience in 3D character animation, I have already started to use learned techniques from the creature school in my daily work. The approaches I’ve discovered on the course are very difficult to find out for oneself, thanks Rob, you are opening my eyes. It's vitally important to be criticized by an experienced animator, because this is the only way to level up and Rob definitely shows how to take it to a new level"
Andrew Thompson

"I signed up for the creature animation course to enhance my skills, before I started Rob found me work with a London studio"
Cristin McKee

“Robert was very supportive and encouraging as he helped me land an interview with my dream job overseas. I had been rejected by this studio several months earlier, so I know that it was due to his recommendation that I managed to get so far. Thank you so much for providing such a great resource for animators in animationateam.com”
