Nicole Herr

Nicole is a fantastic mentor and I learned so much from her critiques each week. I have a new understanding and respect for previs and what previs artists do. I am very grateful to have had a pro like Nicole help guide my sequence week to week. She turned a pretty ok sequence into something special and I found a new path (I knew nothing about) that I love just as much as animating! Please thank her for me, for the most amazing month of Animation Mentor.

This workshop gave a basic intro to previsualization. My mentor Nicole Herr is on the top of her game. The Q&A sessions were illuminating. I got some interesting insights about the latest industry standards which I can implement into my showreel.

Nicole is great. Her grading and methods are very straightforward. She helps us understand what needs to be done and what the industry expects from a professional animator with the understanding that we are all still students and have a long way to go (I am currently in AN02). Her feedback is informative, as are her classes. She is kind, enthusiastic, and brings a positive vibe. I would definitely recommend her.

Nicole is awesome! My animation and understanding has grown significantly from her advice. I could listen to her talk about animation all day, her passion and experience for the industry reads through with every explanation she provides. I did not feel confident coming into AN02 however her great mentorship has given me a much needed boost. I’ll definitely take her creature course in the future purely based on the good experience I’ve enjoyed this semester. Nicole Herr 10/10.

I really feel super lucky to have Nicole as my mentor. She’s super enthusiastic! I’m learning more than ever. She always tries to make us super active during the Q&A. I also love that she let us develop our crazy animation ideas, even when we are just in AN02! Nicole, if you’re reading this, thank you so much for all your tips, for all those mind blowing constraints Q&As (which will make our future work much more easy!), for all the kind words and the cool tips. I’ll never forget you and AN02. <3

Nicole was able to provide such knowledge in such a short period. Her lessons were full of examples and techniques that are not found anywhere else. She was able to communicate her experience in a language for beginners. The things that I learned in this course were definitely beneficial and I am super grateful!

Her delightful sense of humor coupled with a deep understanding of animation made her classes both engaging and informative. Her teaching style was characterized by clarity and thoroughness. I found her guidance so valuable that I wished I could continue learning from her in an advanced term. However, she encouraged students to explore new mentors, a testament to her belief in well-rounded growth. Her critiques were immensely helpful, reflecting her overall dedication to supporting her students.

It has been so great to start AM with Nicole because we know from her experience that she knows exactly what she’s talking about. She not only talks about animation but also gives ‘life-hacks’, and they’re very good to hear from someone that’s been here before and that we know we can trust. Her feedback is always very kind and she takes time during Q&As to clearly answer every question we might have, and also gives so much useful tips that I wish I knew a few years ago when I started animating.
