Student care is equally important to us, as our goal here at Animation Mentor is to provide the most personal and fulfilling learning experience on the planet! Focused 100% on character animation, our 18-month animation program is designed and taught by some of the industry’s top professional animators from top studios. Our mentors have a passion for teaching animation and it shows! Different than an animation university, our online campus environment provides students around the world with a convenient, flexible, and accessible learning environment 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The animation courses lead students to a diploma in Advanced Studies in Character Animation and are built with a focus on production studio skills, allowing students to get comfortable with the many challenges and opportunities they will experience when working in an animation career. Upon graduation students will have a professional quality demo reel that they can use as their resume. We also coach our graduates and connect them to job opportunities with major recruiters, video game companies, and film studios. Our alumni have a 78% placement rate worldwide within one year of graduating. Rock on!

Welcome to our 2008 Summer Student Showcase! This reel is a compilation of creative work from 31 of our students, who reside all over the world in countries ranging from India to Germany to the U.S. to Australia and Brazil. Each of the featured clips was created exclusively by our students, demonstrating our students’ solid knowledge of character animation concepts. The 2008 Summer Student Showcase, which is the fourth installment of our Student Showcase to date, is a testimony to why so many of Animation Mentor graduates have landed jobs at studios.
