What Brendan’s Students are Saying
An Animation Rockstar
Brendan is an animation rockstar, with the workflow I never expected to see in 3d animation. His critiques are super helpful and always make my work look better! As a Class 6 student I gotta say that Brendan is one of the best mentors I’ve studied with at Animation Mentor, hands down.
Brendan is Really Incredible
Incredible mentor, has a lot of knowledge, pushes you further, and takes the time to show things if you ask for it. Brendan is really incredible to be honest. He gave me some extra motivation about animation when I was losing the passion for it.
His Knowledge is Top Notch
Brenden is great, very informative. His knowledge is top notch. Always willing to answer questions and explain how things work. He is definitely an asset to Animation Mentor. I highly recommend any student request him as a mentor.
Very Helpful and Encouraging
Brendan is very personable and he shares our enthusiasm for the animations that we’re creating at this first stage. I’m often full of self-doubt while creating animations and poses, and Brendan’s feedback each week is very helpful and encouraging.
Very Clear with His Critiques
He is very clear with his critiques and makes them as simple to understand as possible. His demos are also very easy to follow and shows multiple ways to do the assignment which allows us to animate how we want and still get a good result.
Accommodating for Everyone
Brendan is an incredibly effective mentor. His critiques and the way he’s pushing our shots forward has been very helpful for me. Our class had very different skill levels across the board and he did a great job being accommodating for everyone and picking demos and topics that could help us all improve our animation. Thanks Brendan!
I’ve Learned so much Already
Brendan has been an amazing mentor. His critiques are very helpful and I’ve learned so much already. I can’t wait to learn more and I’m glad Brendan was able to help guide me through this first class.
Takes the Time to Answer Any Question
Brendan is a great mentor, he always takes the time to answer any question we might have during our Q&As. The demos he does during his class are full of handy tips. He always makes sure to go through our assignments during the Q&As, his notes are very clear and they really help to take our animation to the next level.
