An Instructor Trusted by Epic Games
Sir Wade has worked directly with Epic Games to instruct and mentor in the 2023 Unreal Engine Animation Fellowship.
Team Neistadt, a collection of Industry Veterans, created the Exquisite Corpse Don't Stop the Motion, with some team members having little to no experience in Unreal prior to the experience.
Sir Wade also created the Epic Games Transitioning from Maya to Unreal for Animators course for Unreal Engine 5.4 in 2024.
