Joining the Rocket Sky Team is a life changing experience and 96% of our graduates are professional animators today.

We’re different. Rocket Sky utilizes a ‘simulated production environment’ approach to learning, which mimics a real-world animation studio. This process develops skills at the highest levels while conditioning our students to work in the real world, all while still in school.

The Rocket Sky Learning System was born out of years of professional production experience, and years of professional education experience. We focus on classical animation principles and basic fundamentals and apply them to the 3D software. This simple approach develops the art and the artist. Repetition is the mother of skill, and by utilizing our unique, one-on-one, mentor-style approach to learning, and the focus on fundamentals rather than software, Rocket Sky students become skilled in all the facets of this allusive art form, and ultimately will be able to produce the highest quality portfolio work to showcase these skills....
