AnimDojo – The Online Animation Gym。UK animation powerhouse Blue Zoo launches innovative new training program designed to prepare animators for a role in the industry and close the skills shortage gap.

AnimDojo, a new online animation “gym”, has been established to support artists with a basic understanding of Autodesk Maya to become industry-ready pro animators capable of meeting the needs of today’s working studios.

AnimDojo was created by Tom Box and Badar Badruddin, co-founder and animation director at London’s multi BAFTA-winning animation studio Blue Zoo. Specifically developed to address an industry-wide skills shortage in the sector, AnimDojo is an online animation gym for learning by doing, where artists can build skills in-line with real-world, practical animation studio insight.

Through regular mini-assignments, materials, peer review and the opportunity to have work critiqued by industry professionals, artists learn as they produce. AnimDojo’s courses have been specifically conceived and designed to impart foundational animation understanding through vocational practice rather than curriculum.

AnimDojo has already gathered support from some of the UK’s largest studios, who have backed the platform’s core mission to arm a new wave of students with practical animation experience for employability.

“AnimDojo provides animators with a method to gain additional skills to those covered in traditional learning settings. Simply put, there’s a lot of work for animators out there, but not enough animators with the level of skill required to work at the speed and quality that the studios demand. We hope to change that with AnimDojo.”
