WEBINAR WORKSHOP

CLASS DESCRIPTION:

Bundle all three workshops and save money. 

Build upon each class and grow your skills to achieve the best results with each assignment. Each participant will create a 60-second motion story from the methods taught in each workshop. With webinar classroom lectures and scheduled one-on-one mentorship, each participant will get tailored training to their needs and walk away with a finished product.
