  Developed and taught a 3D animation course intended to teach a group of 35 traditional (2D) animators how to make the switch form 2D to 3D as easy and fast as possible. These people had no 3D background whatsoever, and my background in 2D and my experience in the 3D animation field helped me develop a course to teach them the fastest and most effective way to understand the 3D world, the characters and other aspects of animation so they could start production as fast as possible..
