The Course
Hey, I'm Jon Draper. I'm a long time animator and animation studio founder. Making this course meant facing up to a wave of imposter syndrome we all have at times.
But, I guess, as I've worked as a freelance animator and in a permanent studio role for years. Before risking job security, quiting, moving to live by the sea with my family and starting my own animation studio back in 2013 (*that's still thriving today). I guess technically, I've got some worth while experience and tips to help you do the same.
In the course I've tried to share a heap of industry experience & honest tips as an animator and studio founder to guide you from initial studio idea through to a complete viable animation studio business plan.
The course also touches on marketing, sales (pitching, quoting) and ideas to help your own creative studio have the best chance of success.
Well look at that!!

Who is the course for?
To make the most of the course, we'd recommend it for animators just graduating or with a few years of experience working in the industry. Either in a full-time role or as a freelancer.
The content would also help you build a good freelance career.
What animation style is this for?
Any and all styles are fine. Stop motion, traditional & digital 2D, 3D etc. It's much more focused on the business side than a specific production skillset.
Will my studio be a success?
The course is designed to help with building a long lasting creative business. It is not a get rich quick scheme. Like any new business, success will take lots of work but should be alot of fun.
We want everyone to succeed and build studios that enable you (and your staff) to achieve a good work-life balance, superb reputation and earn a good living.
Does location matter?
Even though we run a UK studio ourselves, the course is designed, so it will help you where ever you are in the world. (*60% of our own animation studio clients are in the US).
We'll refer to the UK, US and India in the course to help keep it global yet concise.
CHEERS!
Thanks for taking the time to checkout all the above.
Have an awesome day!!
