Steven R. V. Johnson – Character Animator @ Walt Disney Studios

I had Angie as my instructor for iAnimate Workshop 5: Full Body Acting. She is hands down one of the best instructors I’ve had so far in my education in animation. She is so enthusiastic and passionate about the material, it is a pleasure watching her lectures. Her presentations are well organized, which makes it very easy to follow along and find exactly what you’re looking for if you decide to re-watch any of her lectures. A great thing about Angie is that she caters the lectures to the needs of the class and doesn’t mind revisiting a topic if need be. Angie also gives really great, detailed critiques with draw-overs so you know exactly what you have to do in order to push your shots. She knows how to be encouraging while still managing to push and challenge you week in and week out.

Going into workshop 5, I was really struggling with my confidence as an animator and getting my body mechanics to a point where it didn’t distract from the acting. By the end of 14 weeks, she had helped me solidify a workflow that I continue to use and helped me break through any concerns I had with my body mechanics. I couldn’t recommend her more.
