Read MoreYuri is definitely one of the best animation mentors I've ever had. He is so friendly and eager to help. I love how well he breaks down examples during lectures so that they are easy to understand. He also has a HUGE library of references and examples to help teach you. He points out a lot of little things that my eyes might not have seen at first glance and he is able to point them out to me to give me that ah-ha! moment. His reviews are always awesome and he gives many great suggestions to help push your shot even further. Yuri is also very up to date on the latest tools and tricks and always takes his time to explain everything to you. There were many little tips and tricks that I learned from him that I have not seen anywhere else. I've learned so much, thank you!

Read MoreOne of the Happiest 2 months of my life, getting to learn the art from such a great animator is the best thing that has happened. Yuri as a mentor is really friendly and helpful ..Always makes his students comfortable, stresses on enjoying the work and understanding the idea and applying it..Best part of this mentorship is that he is available for feedback even if you are not able to finish within the course duration, gives proper suggestions what he feels will really help us achieve our goals. This course has lifted my confidence a lot and really helped me know the tips and tricks to achieve the quality. In each session I have learnt new stuffs which i have never heard of. It’s real fun to work with the rigs provided by theanimationbox..love the character design. Thanks Yuri for considering me for this course, its always pleasure to attend your sessions..

Read MoreI really enjoyed the mentorship with The Animation Box. Instruction was personalized based on individual goals. I wanted to expand my reel and explore a more cartoony style. Classes and critiques helped me push my work, and I came away with a much better understanding of cartoony mechanics. I would recommend this mentorship to anyone at any stage in their pursuit of animation.

Read MoreThis mentorship was just what I needed after completing AnimSchool's Character Animation course. With all that I had learned about the foundations of animation, I knew that tackling this style of animation would be an exciting challenge. At no point did I feel defeated. Yuri was able to very clearly communicate his thought process and techniques while providing encouragement and feedback on our progress. The lectures were organized and the demos were well thought out. Yuri genuinely cares about his students and was available for any issues we might have had throughout the course. I highly recommend this mentorship to anyone looking to tackle this style of animation.

Read MoreThe lecture was very thorough. The instructor critiqued, corrected and showed how to fix each pose, etc. for each student's submission. He spent a lot of time for each student. He also showed many reference animations from his own or from other animation movies. I have taken many animation classes at an art school in the past but in this mentorship course, I learned a lot more materials, actual techniques and tips used in the animation industries and animation principles.I was also a real beginner and it was intimidating to see other students doing a lot more advanced animation, but the class atmosphere was very encouraging and helpful. It was a great course! I wish I could spend more time on homeworks.

Read MoreWhen the mentorship started, my animations were clunky/not appealing and with every new lesson, i started to understand which was my problem, things like timing, poses, anticipation, etc. Once that Yuri taught us those and more principles, was the moment i felt my animations started to improve, also Yuri is one of the best mentors ever, he is always willing to help you and that is the best part of this mentorship.

Read MoreI am so happy that I came across this course. I have learnt more from Yuri in 2 months than from my uni in 3 years. Yuri has patience to answer all of the questions whether it is during the class or afterwards, to review each animation without rushing it and to explain his workflow in details. He has showed us many tips and tricks that he learnt while working in industry which was very helpful. Additionally, rigs are soo good, people that I have met are awesome, I spent 2 months doing what I love and at the same time learnt a lot!! Thank you!

Read MoreReally happy I did the Mentorship. Yuri is an awesome mentor. The Demos and Lectures are detailed and he explains things with lots of examples. He also shared a lot of tips about workflows and showed us ways to approach different shots. He gives attention to everyone (sometimes opens your file to explain) and he is always trying to help improve your work with feedback and suggestions. He also talks about tools and software which are also very important to really stand out in presenting your work. Special mention to the character designs they are super appealing and rigs are really good. I really felt like part of a group where everyone is helpful, got a few good friends as well. Thank you so much Yuri for letting me be a part of the Mentorship.

Read MoreYuri is an extremely knowledgeable animator and mentor, and I can't overstate just how valuable a mentorship with him is. The weekly demos are full of great information, and you get to watch live as he goes into Maya to break down/demonstrate his workflow. He will even open your scene and show you how he would go about the shot if you want. The reviews were probably the best part of the mentorship in my opinion. Yuri takes the time to really analyze each shot and offer insightful notes in great detail. The notes given throughout our reviews were more eye opening than any feedback I have ever received. He does a great job of explaining how to approach a cartoony shot while continually emphasizing the most important things to keep in mind. If you have any interest in doing cartoony animation at all, I highly recommend this mentorship.

Read MoreI loved the mentorship at The Animation Box. Each class, Yuri gave every student as much time as they needed as well as offering assistance by opening their maya files. He always has wonderful examples and gives great notes. The lectures and demo were also really informative. Yuri explains his workflows and techniques wonderfully and shows how they relate to his professional experience.
