What Our Students Have To Say

“The mentorship experience has provided me opportunities to expand my storyboarding skills and apply practical knowledge in improving on my work. The sessions are detailed, well guided and constructive which enhance the understanding of how to excel in my character acting performance and staging. This is a wonderful resource for any professional looking to push their work as well as starting out artists. Thanks so much Upchuckle!!!”

-Sonia Furier (Animation professional)
“Brad is a phenomenal teacher. Everything is possible and nothing is off limits! Whatever your learning style, Brad will adapt and strive for improvements for all involved! He is well spoken and and happy to explain things in detail should you not understand something. Things are step by step with him and you won't feel left behind. I learned so much from Brad in a short timeframe, not just about Animation but about how I learn. Thanks Brad!”

-Genevieve Cayer (Animation Professional)
“The support and knowledge I gained from him, is invaluable. I believe one-on-one instruction is something essential when it comes to the crafting of your art skills, which is what you will get from Upchuckle.”

-Alina Ponce (IIlustrator)
“Summer tutoring at Upchuckle Entertainment helped me to finish my year of animation school, so I could continue and graduate with my class. Every session had helpful, enthusiastic one-on-one critiques with examples when needed. I got help with my work anytime I had questions and I felt I quickly improved in weak areas of my animation. Highly recommend if you need help with any tutoring/lessons or are looking for animation related work!”

-Saffron Thornhill (Animation Professional)
