Student Testimonials - Scott Thigpen
"If you were like me and didn't take the path of art school but later realized that you wanted to find a way into the industry, yet you feel that your portfolio and direction are not progressing as they should, then Brandon can certainly help. With an eye for imagination, ideas, and what is needed to capture the attention of an art director, Brandon offers a unique approach. His method is distinct; he is interested in helping you craft narratives, stories, and concepts within your portfolio, rather than just accumulating 'cool work' that looks nice. He aims to help you create a concise portfolio that tells your story and showcases what you can bring to the animation industry. Having the privilege of being mentored by him is undoubtedly one of the best decisions I made for my art career."
