Demand for creatives is at an all-time high and there’s never been a better time to explore a career in animation. Build your career with our free and mentored courses presented by the professionals at Triggerfish Animation Studio who have brought award winning films to the screen for the last 20 years.
Stop-frame animation is one of the earliest forms of filmmaking and a straightforward way to tell a story with only a smartphone.
Animation is the art of movement. Learn how animators bring life to characters and objects.
We interviewed some of the brightest stars in animation and asked them what they wished they had known when they were starting out.
Editors are essential to every phase of animation production. Discover how they shape the story, rhythm and pacing of the film.
Storyboarding brings your script to life. Develop this key skill to find the action and flow of your story for the screen.
Learn about how a 2D short film is created to guide you through developing and producing your own short film.
