Overview
I get messages every day from animators looking for personalized help. A one-on-one session lets me find your blind spots and create the breakthrough moments that normally take months — or years — to reach on your own.
Bring whatever's got you stuck: a reel, a single shot, or a concept that won't click. We'll work it out together.

From the seats
See how Jim's courses help animators find their spark again.
“I've done Animation for many years and even working in a small studio. I was never classically trained so everything I learned was from books or studying. I wish this course would've been around 20 years ago when I started.”
“As a CG animator I wasn't thinking about how spacing was calculated by the computer. After the course I was able to more easily visualize how to separately judge the spacing and the timing and get them to interplay to effect the visual texture of my animation.”
“This course really helped me out to clarify the little things I was missing in the timing and spacing. The fact that we worked in 2D made it really easy and really fast to understand, while it could've been longer to explain in a CG software.”
“I just finished the course, and I must say I really enjoyed it. You're very clear and precise in explaining important concepts. Also, the software used is affordable and accessible. I particularly liked how you tackled the explanation of the charts.”
““Cracking the Code of Timing and Spacing” is an absolute joy to take in learning about the BEST fundamentals in animation. It is FAST, FUN, and EASY to understand. If you are interested in animation, 2D or 3D, this course is a MUST. Jim presents the lectures in a way that everyone can learn and understand. Save yourself endless hours of frustration in trying to do it yourself — instead follow Jim's course and ENJOY doing animation. I started my 3D animation work in 1999 with 3ds Max, and I WISH I could have taken Jim's animation course THEN! 11/10 would recommend!”
