Learn character animation from people who animate every day.

I have just finished course 1 at Vivo Animation School. What can I say? It was a wonderful experience: 3 months of theory and plenty of practice that made me love 3D animation even more! Thank you to Silvia who, from the very beginning, was always available both during classes and outside the scheduled hours. Her professionalism and experience helped me a lot to grow as a 3D animator. Thanks also to the whole of Vivo Animation School, of course! For anyone who wants to start this wonderful journey into animation, Vivo is the perfect school! Thanks for everything and Happy Animating!

Attending Vivo Animation School was the best choice I could have made to improve my skills in the world of computer graphics. The instructors are always available for reviews and questions, and present even outside class hours. This makes taking the courses a real experience, one I have rarely found in other courses I have attended. All the instructors are very accomplished professionals and explain concepts extremely well. I can't wait to continue the path and I recommend the courses to everyone.

I am very satisfied with the Pantomime course I took. I felt very well followed, and in every review the instructor tries to involve all the students, making even the moments when it's not your shot's turn interesting and useful. The instructors are very good and available for any doubt or problem, the rigs are simple and intuitive. The extra tools the school provides, such as the picker and the tool shelf, are also very useful.

An animation school like very few others. I have worked in animation for more than ten years, I earned my first diploma in 2010, but over time I got lost in small productions and one-man-band jobs to be delivered on low budgets and very tight deadlines. After ten years of that life I felt I had grown little and lost my enthusiasm. So I enrolled at Vivo: I wanted to shake off some rust, beef up my reel and get good advice from people who know a lot, with plenty of experience on substantial productions. My level shot up to the next level from the very first shots, and I hadn't felt this much enthusiasm for animation in a decade. The instructors are exceptional animators and people: competent, attentive, extremely available and kind, humble, and with an excellent eye that can spot the problem in your shot at first glance (which is no small thing after years of "that's not right..." followed by "try redoing it more...you know?"). I only took two modules because by the end of the second I had found a job (a word to the wise...) but I wouldn't hesitate to continue if I had the time. I recommend Vivo's courses to beginners as well as to those who already have experience, because you never stop learning, and with Vivo learning is guaranteed.

I took the first three animation courses and had a great time. At first I was struck by each instructor's method: unlike other courses I have done, the method makes the real difference here. I really learned a lot that enriched my skills. In the courses I was followed by 4 different instructors and I always felt very well looked after. The school provides Autodesk Maya licences as well as various animation tools, all very useful, and for every course a series of very well made rigs, progressively more complex, for a gradual understanding of the controls. Besides the class hours, during the week the instructors follow you in chat, where you can ask questions and solve problems of every kind. The instructors certainly know how to be patient, follow you all the way and have fun too; I always looked forward to the two classes a week with great enthusiasm.

I have taken three courses at Vivo Animation School and I'm having a great time. Their method is truly effective, always bringing you to a level you would never have imagined. Thanks to the live classes and the portal you never feel alone in facing difficulties: you will always be supported and helped. I recommend it to anyone who wants to start down the path of 3D animation. At Vivo Animation School you will find excellent, ultra-professional instructors, always available and ready to reveal tricks for great animation!

I took the Facial Acting course in autumn 2021. Simone, the instructor, has a great passion for animation and was a great source of inspiration. The course is organised very clearly and all the topics in the programme were thoroughly explained. After the course, I feel my skills have improved, as has my approach to shots with dialogue. I highly recommend this course and the school in general. The rigs are adorable!

Vivo is a real animation school. I enrolled starting from scratch and after only a month I already knew all the principles of animation, both in theory and in practice. The instructors are professionals who follow you and are available for any difficulty (…working with Maya I found quite a few!), and above all at any hour! I recommend this course to true enthusiasts who intend to make animation their career.

Vivo Animation has been one of the best things that happened to me. I've seen my work improve drastically since I started the animation pro courses with Vivo Animation! It even helped me land a job at a major animation studio in London. My mentors were great animators and teachers. It's uncommon to have two mentors with two different perspectives. They genuinely care about helping you in achieving more than you could've wished for! Critiques were very to the point and made me more confident in body mechanics and acting shots.
