Animation & VFX Courses

”As part of the SOPHORIA ACADEMY dragon animation course led by the incredible Jonathan Symmonds, I tackled the challenge of animating a dragon flying and landing.
This exercise focused on honing my creature animation skills, and I'm excited to share the results with everyone. What an incredible course and thankyou to Jonathan Symmonds for creating it and sharing it with all of us students!

”I recently completed my first creature animation and spent a lot of time focusing on understanding the anatomy and motion of animals or creatures. The animation principles such as overlapping action were invaluable and well excecuted that it was easy to follow the course. The help from the SOPHORIA ACADEMY was fantastic and i learnt a lot from their classes.

”During the course, I learned so many things about dragons that I had never known before. I learnt how to handle the Y-axis movement of the body as the wings flap, which secondary animations should be saved in the studio library for reuse, and how to animate the tiniest details like the neck fins and tail... it was such an eye-opening experience.
