"Having participated in the Production Bootcamp that we (CMAI) offered to Irish animation studios alongside The Happy Producers, I can truthfully say that it far exceeded my expectations. The content and insights into the world of production for animation are second to none. It is delivered in a very accessible and pleasant format which makes digesting the very valuable content easy and enjoyable. After 30 years in the business, I learned a thing or 2 during the course and I would say everyone no matter how experienced would benefit from the course.

“Learning about bringing a positive mindset to each day and learning how not to take on others' stress as your own has been life-changing. By prioritizing my needs first thing, I can prioritize my team's needs. 

We start every morning's catch-up call with some good news or positive feedback. These range from someone getting a PB on their morning run to some great client feedback. We welcome all the good news in the team's lives! 

I approach every day with a more positive outlook and have found that it influences others, too. I highly recommend the course! ”

"My favorite part was Internal Communication and Q&A sessions. I have implemented learnings from the lessons Email & Chat Communications, Note-Taking 101, Clarifying Questions. 

I really loved the course. The presenter is very knowledgeable and able to provide extremely valuable solutions in the Q&A sessions. This is a must-have course for anyone who would like to get involved in production."

“ With 10 years of experience as a 3D animator, I am now aspiring to transition into production.

This bootcamp has significantly enhanced my understanding and provided an excellent introduction to becoming an effective producer. It has also taught me how to lead a team in a healthy and productive manner.”

CAMILA SILVEIRA FRANCISCO, ANIMATION DIRECTOR

"My favorite part was learning to keep production positive through data-based decisions.

From the gaming industry's point of view, there is a great benefit to having taken part in this as there is much crossover. 

The compounding effects have been a major boost to team's productivity and moral.

It has been greatly validating to know that keeping production positive and having the whole team and partners/clients aligned to the same goal is achievable.''

"The entire course has been extremely useful for me. Especially helpful were the PROD Encyclopedia, learning how to deal with clients, effective onboarding strategies, creating and fostering a healthy work environment, and the specific challenges and workflows of the animation industry.

As a recent college graduate, this course provided me with essential information on how to approach animation production. I love the people-focused nature of the course. I now feel confident that my team can deliver a great product, while still prioritizing their happiness and wellbeing. Thank you!"
