Our animation trainees have been absolute stars this week! They’ve been testing their skills, pushing their limits, and leveling up faster than you can say “keyframe!” We’d like to say a big thank you to Dani Abram for making Cloth Cat Academy’s Moho: Mechanics of Motion course such a huge success!

Dani Abram has been teaching our Toon Boom: Animation Toolbox course this week! The studio has been alive with curiosity, collaboration, and creative breakthroughs. There was a real sense of momentum as our trainees dove into learning, challenged themselves, and grew in confidence. Thank you Dani!
