Meet Professional Animators & Get Personalized Advice at our Portfolio Review Fair!

If you've ever dreamed of a career in animation - whether working on animated films, television, or video games - there’s one thing every great animator has in common: A strong foundation in art, storytelling, and visual communication.
At MTM College, we don’t just teach animation. We teach the language of movement, expression, and storytelling. Every brushstroke, every frame, every scene—these are the tools of an artist who breathes life into characters, worlds, and emotions.
And if you’re ready to take your first step into the world of animation, we have some incredible opportunities coming up that you won’t want to miss.

What Makes MTM College’s Animation Program So Special?
Animation isn’t just about making drawings move. It’s about telling a story that resonates - a story that brings characters to life, that evokes emotion, that stays with an audience long after the credits roll.
At MTM College, we believe that great animation starts with strong fundamentals. That’s why we focus on teaching you the essential skills that have powered the animation industry for decades - before jumping into software or technical tools.
A Legacy of Excellence in Animation
MTM College was founded by artists, for artists. Our program is not just about learning animation software - it’s about learning how to think, see, and create like an animator.
The animation industry has evolved rapidly, but one thing remains constant: Studios are always looking for artists who have strong foundational skills. That’s what we teach at MTM. Before digital tools, before software shortcuts, before anything else - our students master the art of drawing, movement, storytelling, and character acting.
We are deeply committed to training the next generation of artists, helping them not only develop their craft but build the confidence and skills to thrive in the industry.
Industry-Leading Instructors
At MTM, you won’t just learn from teachers—you’ll learn from working professionals who have years of experience in the animation industry.
🎨 Steve Millard – An animation industry veteran specializing in character animation, background design, and visual storytelling. Steve has worked on animated feature films, television productions, and concept art for major studios. His expertise in movement and performance helps students bring characters to life with emotion and weight.
🌟 Our faculty includes animators, storyboard artists, and visual developers who have worked with studios like Disney, DreamWorks, Nelvana, and more.
A Thriving Creative Community
One of the things our alumni say again and again is that MTM College isn’t just a school - it’s a family. Our students don’t just learn together; they grow together. They support each other, push each other forward, and build connections that last a lifetime.
As one of our alumni so perfectly put it:
"[MTM College] offers a fantastic community with instructors and staff that truly and genuinely want to see you succeed and attain the goals you've only ever dreamt of. As an alumni of [MTM College], I can proudly say that I loved every single waking second I was here. The relationships that I've made over the years, whether it be through fellow classmates, instructors, or even the administration and staff, will last a lifetime. I've learned so much over the years and am grateful to have had an opportunity to learn from some of the finest instructors I've ever met."
