Course Overview

Every freelancer knows how difficult it can be to get their work noticed. It can be even more difficult to change someone's perception of the work you create. In 2018, Jonathan Lindgren was determined to change the way people viewed his work and in turn, the creative opportunities that he was receiving. The result was Jonathan’s short film, How to Make Sushi. His love of 3D, character animation, and the attention to detail in every frame of this piece deserve all the spotlight it has been given.
