Mike Gasaway

Mike is an awesome mentor, I would highly recommended to take his body mechanics class. I think the experience he has helped me have a better workflow. I’m super glad I chose him as a mentor. I learned a lot from him, he definitely knows how to teach an old dog like me new tricks.

Mr. Mike is one of the best teachers I’ve had the pleasure to be a student of in any field and not just animation. He comes fully prepared for class. His explanations are direct. Not a minute passes without value during his lessons. Also, His eCritiques are gold. Even though they are quick and concise and every piece of feedback makes me feel like I’ve improved a lot.

Mr. Gasaway is a great mentor. He has helped me improve my workflow and get my animations to a place where I feel like I am good with the final product. Mr. Gasaway has a unique perspective on the animation process; him being a director. He always gives constructive and helpful feedback to all his students and never makes them feel like they have a dumb question. I would love to have Mr. Gasaway as a mentor again in the future.

Mike is a great mentor that really cares about us having an organized and proper work method. I always felt like this was missing for me, and even professionals sometimes never adapt an organized method. Mike is very easy going, positive, and is open to a lot of new ideas. In the Q&A there is never a dull moment, while still being very informative.

Mike is really kind, clear and energetic. I appreciate his ability to introduce various concepts in understandable and interesting ways. He takes each student’s goals and skill level into account and puts in the extra effort to keep them on track. His unique teaching plans have given me more insight in how to approach workflow. Mike is great and while my workflow differs from what he teaches, I appreciate him challenging me to step out of my comfort zone for my own benefit.

Mike is such an amazing mentor, it really surprised me how he handles the Q&A, his teaching methods do not have any flaws, he keeps it simple, and straight forward on what he wants us to learn. He focuses on workflow, work habits and makes us aware that’s a very important tool in the future.

Fantastic mentor! Breaks down the animation process in very easily digestible bits, and pushes the student to get really deep in each stage. Always has great suggestions for the direction of the shot, from the viewpoint of a director, as well. Puts extra effort in the class, is available for questions and clarifications outside of class, and makes it all super motivating, and entertaining on top of that! Cannot recommend enough!

Mike “Superstar” Gasaway is an awesome mentor! 1. He is always giving positive critiques, even if something is not good he finds a positive to add to it. 2. His enthusiasm and happiness is contagious 3. He has a clear, concrete, concise, formula to animating which clicked in my brain. 4. Very approachable and responds to email fast 5. He has so much knowledge about so many different areas of animation and wants to teach everyone about what he has learned in his career. 6. He’s a “Superstar”.
