Animation Project Planning for Well-Being

Believe me, I have worked long hours with unforgiving budgets and stressful environments. I have seen exhausted teams and met frustrating circumstances.
But then, in 2015, I completely changed my outlook on project planning for film and television.
As a result, I got my dream position and have since delivered over 25 000 animated shots under budget, to happy clients and while prioritizing the team’s wellbeing.
And I want you to know that you can do the same!
That’s why I created this course for busy Producers, Project Managers, and Team Leaders who want to cultivate H.A.P.P.Y. project planning principles to increase their profits while lowering stress.
