What People Are Saying:

I have to say that this is the best workshop I've ever taken for animation. You will be grateful for the recordings because the amount of info covered is staggering. If you are new to Maya/animation, or if you're a 7 year veteran like I am, you will have plenty to learn either way.

Ariana Alexander

Sir Wade does NOT disappoint. If you enjoy his videos, you will love this workshop. I would highly recommend the Maya Workshop for both the beginner and the more advanced Maya user. You will take away so many great nuggets of useful information. You will be surprised by how much more there is to know about Maya and what the program and you are capable of creating. Sir Wade is thorough and in depth and his gracious nature and attitude are even better in person.

Animation courses tend not to teach you Maya in depth so this workshop was a godsend, it was absolutely packed with tricks and tips and demos. You might argue there's already a lot of tutorials floating around, but you gotta know what you are looking for, and this workshop gave me SO many answers to questions I didn't even know I had! When day 1 starts and already you're learning things on Maya settings, you know you're in for a treat... Sir Wade is also a brilliant teacher and communicates things really clearly. It's the workshop we all need!

Charlotte Taylor

Sir Wade's workshop covered from the base to the brim of Maya. He delves into how all the tools function, and gives plenty of examples to engage the viewer. In just a week, Maya has become the most comfortable 3D program I've used and I'm now able build and animate shorts from the ground up. If you plan on learning Maya, this is a must-have for the edu-collection.

Micah Chambers

This workshop taught me more about Maya animation than the 3 years of university that I already wasted before this class. Forget school, if you take everything Sir Wade says to heart in this workshop, you'll be better off than most of us in school!

Carlos Vazquez

I can't overstate the value of Sir Wade's technical background in animation and unique insights into optimizing your workflow in Maya. No matter your level of experience, there is always more to learn in this field and I highly recommend taking the opportunity to learn from Sir Wade.
