Personal project mentoring
3 weeks - £600
Do you have a personal project going on? A shot you keep coming back to in the evenings. A piece for your reel. A short film you started eighteen months ago and can no longer tell whether it is any good. Your friends say it looks great. You suspect it does not.
That is what this is for.
Bring your own project and your own rig, whatever you are actually working on. Laurent Benhamo has spent twenty five years animating creatures at Framestore and directed the animation team on a feature. He will look at your work properly and tell you where it stands, what can be improved, and what to fix first.
What you send
A playblast or video, up to 10 seconds. Any rig, any software. A link to Vimeo, YouTube, Dropbox or Google Drive is fine.
What comes back
A recorded review of fifteen to twenty minutes. He plays your shot back frame by frame, draws over the arcs and contacts, and talks it through the way he would in a session. The recording is yours to keep and rewatch.
When
Within five working days. No call to schedule, no course to enrol in.
One project, one review. If you want him to see the next version, that is the next review.
