Theresa's Courses

Animation

Digital Lab for Animators 

"Digital Lab for Animators teaches students four main programs that they will be expected to know while in any industry with animation - Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, and Toon Boom Harmony.

It's a great crash course on playing with multiple programs, learning industry vocabulary, and finding your comfort zone in the ocean of animation and digital art software. Many people do not know how to use these programs, so having a base knowledge of how to use them for the purposes of animation is incredibly helpful on your resume and for your own independent work." - Theresa
