Private Storyboarding Mentorship w/ Andy Cung

** UPDATE: 3 MENTEE SPOTS HAVE BEEN FILLED AND ARE SOLD OUT **

This 10-week online 3-People Storyboarding Mentorship will meet once a week for 3-Hours. The objective of this mentorship is for each student to create their own unique storyboard portfolio piece. This mentorship is for students who have experience in storyboarding and are proficient in drawing gestures, perspectives and environments. We will be using the Umbrella Method, which is a more analytical method to storyboarding, to create the storyboard sequence in their portfolio.

The mentorship will be personally catered to the mentee's storyboard needs for their portfolio piece. This is a group mentorship, NOT an individual mentorship, intended to create a collaborative environment so that the three mentees can inspire each other and keep each other accountable.

The mentorship aims to increase the mentees skills and understanding in story, camera, editing, and problem solving. Mentees are expected to show up and put in the work as they are still responsible for their own growth outside of the weekly meetings. Please be ready to dedicate and devote your time in order to achieve your objectives or goals so you can get the most out of this mentorship.

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS FROM PRIOR PORTFOLIO CLASSES:

"I highly recommend taking this class. The lessons I got from this helped push one of my storyboard scenes to the next level and ultimately received positive feedback from industry professionals!" - Maurits Valk

"I wouldn't be where I am in my storyboarding journey if it wasn't for Andy. He has definetely changed the direction of how storyboarding is taught, as he breaks down what is commonly an overwhelming process into digestible steps. Because of him, I sometimes feel like I have storyboarding secrets that not many know. He is a kind person who clearly cares for his student's success. I came out of that class with a board that got me my job as a story revisionist. The more you put into his class, the more you get out of it. And I'm not just talking skill. I'm only a Revisionist now but when he spent time on my board, I sometimes I felt we were two directors solving one storyboard together. It was a 6 week class of solving the question: how to make our characters feel alive. That experience was awesome." - William Heng

"Andy is passionate and clearly loves what he does, and he will always try to make sure you walk away from his classes with a better understanding. The lessons you will learn from his classes will be ones that you will use for years to come as a student or a working professional. He is an instructor who will root you deeply within foundations, and as you continue to take his classes he will, of course, help you build upon it. When it comes to criticism towards your work he is clear and straight forward, then will work with you throughout the process to help you communicate better through your drawings and boards. I’ve completed 3 classes with him; Analytical Gesture Drawing, SB2, and How to Board an Animated Scene, along with a couple of workshops sprinkled in between. Since taking his classes I feel more confident in my abilities as a story teller and an artist, and have improved a lot over the course of a few months. Andy puts a lot of time energy into each student to make sure their needs are met, and is easy to approach about any classroom concerns, needed criticism, career advice, etc as well. I highly recommend any of his classes, especially How to Storyboard an Animated Scene, as I’ve taken a lot out of the lectures and feedback sessions." - Elaine Page
