I've been a Working 3D Animator for 15+years, and a Mentor, Instructor, and Professor of Animation at: Animation Mentor, Chapman University, APU, LCAD, and CalArts. I've created college level animation curriculum for both undergrad and graduate programs, from introductory classes to advanced. I'm experienced in teaching body mechanics, gesture, expression, facial animation, lip sync, and staging using the twelve principles of animation. I teach with a simple show and tell approach, turning talent into skill that's capable of crafting performances with character, dynamic action, and attitude that can sell story Ideas in a clear and simple way!

Maya animation

Leigh taught me how to place 3D animated objects onto my screen (which would have taken me long time if I did it myself). He was very patient with me as I tried to learn how to work the program. Great Tutor!!
