FAQ

⏳

Am I good enough for this course?

There is no technical prerequisit. Any animation ability level can learn from this course. This course is suppelementary to any animation education you are going through. I would actually recommend that you start this course before you are ready for commissions. The business principles work the same at any level. There is, however, a correlation between your level of expertise, your output and the ammount you can earn.

Is this course suitable for studio animators?

This course is made from an independent freelancer's perspective, speaking to other freelancers or people who want to get into freelancing. However there are a lot of overlapping ideas that can still make it a worthwhile course for an inhouse animator to take. Freelancing can also be a good fall-back strategy to learn in case of unemployment.
