2D Animator and 2D Rigs/Builds Artist

Anastasia S.

Awesome Teacher!!!!

Anastasia was a great teacher and tutor! I learn so much in such a short time. She helped me really understand this animation program I was struggling with. Now I am ready to create my first animated project! Woo hoo!

Anastasia is the ultimate bridge between creative vision and industry reality

If you have a story to tell but aren't sure how to step into the world of animation—Anastasia is the essential first resource you need. If your kid wants to become an animator and you want them to have a clear understanding of the industry, actionable goals, and resources to investigate—Anastasia can give you all of that. If you actually snuck into the 1986 Transformers: The Movie just to hear a cartoon character use profanity, but now feel like a bit of an outdated relic who’s going to be told don’t quit your day job—don’t. Anastasia is focused, knowledgeable and patient. As someone coming from outside the animation industry with complex narrative projects, I was not sure if I needed an industry navigator or a technical expert—I found both with Anastasia. She provided an invaluable deep dive into the professional pipeline, industry etiquette, and the realistic timelines required to move a story from the page to the screen. She helped me determine a jumping-off point for my series and provided actionable advice based on my technical goals and level of skill. She provided great resources of examples of different layers in the animation pipeline in case I wanted to learn them myself or hire someone and be able to speak with them about what I needed. If you’ve been scanning reviews and profiles—STOP! You’ve found who you’re looking for. Anastasia is the bridge between “Maybe I could…” to “I can actually do this. OK let’s get started!”

Anastasia was awesome. We really did not know how to start our project and she nailed it. She really saved the day. I would recommend her to anyone. She also has a great personality and you can tell she really cares

Flexible and ready to meet my specific needs

Anastasia helped me with exactly the skills I need for my project, including creating the parallax effect and animating figures in archival photographs. We are taking the first steps in Photoshop and then will move on to After Effects.

Knowledgeable and well undertood

She went over some basics and few possibilities of what can happen using adobe animate and after effects. It was a good session and thanks to her I understand what I have to do going forward.

Super friendly and knowledgeable tutor

I’m in the process of learning the basics of 2D animation, and Anastasia walked me through the fundamentals of Adobe Animate. We’ll be exploring After Effects down the line as well, and I’m really looking forward to our next lesson. It helps so much to be able to troubleshoot and learn from a tutor instead of trying to teach yourself.

Anastasia taught me a lot in Adobe Animate. She had answers for all my questions and gave very clear answers and explanations. She didn't make me feel dumb. It was a fun and beneficial session. I will definitely use her again. So glad I discovered this way of learning!
