Professional storyboarder gives 2D animation courses, drawing, portfolio, cinema and storyboard / preparation for animation schools

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Hello,

Let me introduce myself, Marylène, professional storyboarder, graduated in animation cinema.

I offer serious drawing lessons adapted to the level of the student, from the beginner to the young professional through the animation student.

During the first lesson, we will talk about the student's expectations and set the artistic objectives by defining a personalized program. I would assess the level of the student, his strengths and weaknesses for a tailor-made course, taking into account to nourish his universe and his sensitivities with a background both cultural and technical.

I teach both the basics of solid drawing to beginners (perspective, proportion, composition, volume, anatomy, gesture, posing, principles of animation ...) as well as to students / future students in animation cinema, to young professionals who want to specialize in storyboard or who have questions about how to develop a TV pitch.

For the storyboard part, my specialty, I will teach the basics of cinematographic language (types of framing, transitions, camera movement ...) and I will follow with basic exercises to be able to make parts of portfolio.

Indeed, I can also support the student for the realization of a portfolio / demoreel for animation schools. I could guide him to feed and build his book taking into account the expectations of schools and studios.

I travel to Lyon for a travel fee, and also give online lessons via Webcam and screen sharing on Skype.

Students will have free follow-up by phone, email, whatapps or facebook as well as personalized feedback on the exercises.

My teaching areas:

- Academic drawing
- Preparation for entry to art schools
- Dynamic Posing / Gesture
- Storyboard
- 2D animation
- Pitch TV series
- Integration into the professional world (portfolio / demoreel / CV) French and English.
