What Students Say
Gary D
"Absolute amazing course! I've been after something like this for awhile now. After this course it will open new doors on the cinematic side that you never knew was there. For anyone who is interested in making games with high end cutscenes, then seriously, THIS COURSE IS FOR YOU!!!
The course is very easy to follow, too. Many courses you have to continually skip back to see how they did things. But the pace of this course for beginners like myself is pitch perfect.
Thanks for giving me the extra tools & knowledge to hopefully vastly improve my game in the future." ~Gary D.
Russell Morgan
"An excellent introduction to character animation in Unreal Engine 4, an area of the engine I had left alone until this course because it just seemed too big and confusing a topic. Fortunately, Michael walks you through all the various aspects of it in an intuitive and friendly way.
Overall I am more than happy about purchasing this course and look forward to creating my own movies using the technology." ~Russell Morgan
Chris McAuley
"Having finished the course I now have a confident understanding of the basics of Character Animation in the Unreal Engine.
I have written several articles on LinkedIn which have gained the notice of Industry legends such as Peter Molyneux who have complemented my understanding of Animation in Unreal Engine. ."
​​​​​​​ ~Chris McAuley
Prodos Marinakis
"Already, from the first few lessons, I can report that this course is very well paced. Perfect for total newbies like me.
Each step of the process -- from installing the required software (all of it free of charge) to playing with some initial animations and Unreal Engine 4 settings -- is covered thoroughly and carefully."
~Prodos Marinakis
• Valuable information • Clear Explanations • Engaging Delivery • Knowledgeable instructor

"I've already taken a course with Michael and he's really awesome at teaching! I really recommend this course if you really want to take a good grasp of the power of Unreal Engine and DAZ!
Fantastic instructor and straight to the point! I highly recommend it!" ~Marcos Martins
​​​​​​​
B. John Doyle
"This course jumps right into the action, but not too quickly. Also I love the bonus of the instructor's calm voice. It's like being taught by Bob Ross!" ~B. John Doyle
​​​​​​​
Dominic Brown​​​
"I really enjoyed the course and learned a great deal about animating characters, both facial and body types. Thank you Michael!! :-) " ~Dominic Brown
​​​​​​​
J. Jackson
"One word for this course...FANTASTIC! This course is as close to perfection as you can get. The instructor speaks slowly, with enthusiasm.
He covers all the necessities ."without bogging you down with too much info. I love how he gets you having fun quickly with the Sequencer section.
The audio and video is of great quality. His depth of knowledge in a variety of 3D packages is amazing. ~J. Jackson
