Don't miss your chance to learn from the best!

Our Presenters

We at Virtual Animators are committed to providing you with the best there is out there.  We've already featured Kathy Zielinski, a brilliant animator who's worked for both Disney and DreamWorks.  She is one of the most respected female animators in the business so it was privilege to be able to host her.  Even more exciting is the fact that she's willing to come back and teach another Master Session for us! 
We've also had Noah Bradley, an amazing and talented environmental designer.  He practically did an entire painting in an hour for us and his explanations were clear and easy to follow.  Both he and Kathy were very open and willing to answer any questions.  They enjoyed the process and the format.
Last week we had Harald Seipermann, a fantastic illustrator and character designer.  His artwork inspires so many and he's also on board to come back and present for us again.  His story itself is inspiring on its' own. 
This Saturday we are honored to host Craig Dowsett, an amazing 3D artist who has worked on many films, most notably for ParaNorman, Coraline, and Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.  We are excited about what he has to say about the amazing world of 3D modeling and art.

We've been so honored to present such amazing and talented people to share their insights with whoever is willing to listen.  We also have many more talented artists lined up.  If you want to know more, visit our Facebook page at facebook.com/VirtualAnimators.  Anyone can sign up now for next month's Master Sessions.  November is quickly approaching, don't miss your chance to sign up and learn from the best! You might not get an opportunity like this again!

Master Session 3

For our next Master Session, we will be presenting Craig Dowsett, a fantastic 3D artist.  He is currently working for DreamWorks Animation and has worked on films including: ParaNorman, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, Coraline, and Puss in Boots. He's experienced in medical illustration and his expertise is shown in his work.  His understanding and portrayal of the human body is incredible.  Having him as a presented is going to be a real treat for aspiring 3D artists.

Craig will be on this Saturday from 6 p.m.-7 p.m. Sign up now for the month of November!

Harald Siepermann

Our last Master session featuring Harald Siepermann was a huge success.  He is such an amazing and inspirational artist.  We at Virtual Animators were very lucky to host Harald, who provided us with great insight on character design and illustration.  He was born in Germany during a time where animated movies were limited, however, he persevered and eventually got his big break working for Walt Disney's Feature Animation studio.  His story is truly inspiring and we would be so honored to host him as a presenter in the future.  If you missed him this time around, visit our website and sign up for next month's Master sessions!

Our Next Master Session

Tomorrow from 10 a.m.-11 a.m. (PST), we are honored to present Harald Siepermann, a brilliant character designer and illustrator.  He has worked for a wide range of animation studios, most notably for Walt Disney Feature Animation in Burbank, California.  His credits include: Mulan, Tarzan, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Emperor's New Groove, and Brother Bear.
