BOOTY CALL STORY

Pirate Babinský is on his quest to rob a ship, whose deck hides a great treasure. The ship crew on board is enjoying joyous celebrations filled with excitement returning with such hefty profit, while Babinsky below the deck is moving the chest full of gold into his boat. Unfortunately, when his careless handling of the treasure drops, one small gold coin rolls out and disappears deep into the bowels of the ship.

Greed lures Babinsky into chasing that single coin. In doing so, however, he faces a series of dangers and traps, about which he did not have a clue. After a series of comical moments that stretched Babinsky beyond natural and physically laws, his greed eventually makes him suffer fatally.

I got an insight on how it feels like to work in a 'real' studio environment (deadlines, dailies, producer feedback, pressure, fun, etc) and met awesome people who share the same dream and are as passionate about animation as me.

Jordi Gaspar Aldea

Anomalia has been the most complete professional and educational experience for me. We worked as a team, as we were in a real studio, with the deadlines, daily meetings, pressure, and great people! For me was a challenge, I learnt something new everyday, and I did a better job than I expected. All these give me the confidence I need to continue my animation career.

Tomas Juchnevic

Efficient methods of learning & excellent place for meeting people who share the same passion. I was happy to work together with so many talented animators. After the course I got to know that my animation skills have been improved. I have to thank Anomalia for that.

Carlo Loffredo

Personally I had opportunity to meet people from all around, very nice people.Professionally I could challenge my self, and I think I grew up.

Pavel Hruboš

What push me forward is opportunity for improvements. And that´s what is Anomalia about.

Victor Escardó

The experience of making a short animated film at Anomalia was incredible. My peers, the instructors and the entire organization made this journey unique. The professionalism of Kenny Roy and David Toušek allowed me to really feel and experience a genuine production in 3D animation. Something unforgettable.

Nick Groeneveld

I loved working with different nationalities on the same movie, its good to see that all the people, no mather what religion they have or country they are from, we all speak the same launguage: animation. Kenny and the rest of the crew where very inspiring to me and I learned a lot from all the people that where there, and more important, I had a blast!

Angelique Kesselring

It was perfect with Kennys direct mentoring and giving tips. Not only about animation, but also in the mornings with his warm ups, to improve communicationskills. Personally, I was lucky and happy to work with very nice fellows on a very cool project.

Daniel Řehák

Spend a beautiful summer in front of the screen doesn't really sound like a dream holiday but it was indeed great. Learning under the proffesional leadership of Kenny Roy has given me unique glimpse into the world of animation as an everyday art and work. We all loved it and we all learned more than ever before on any school. Thank you.

Irina Wolf

After this course I feel more confident and organized. My way of approching a project improved and I feel it helped me to bring my animation to the next level. The dailies were the best experience for me, but I also enjoyed very much working together with great fellow animators.

Juraj Zuban

Professionally I gained new knowledge how to approach things, realize that need to do smaller faster animation tests, simplify things and don't be afraid to push animation much much more than i think.

Georgi Zahariev

The best way of learning is always doing things. This course was all about that. Loved it.

Edwin De Loor

Anomalia has exceeded both my professional and personal expectations. Having a top animator giving you feedback face to face is nothing compared to an online school. This course creates such a great vibe between the students.

Joost de Jong

Professionally I think being there everyday, and talking with the mentors during the whole week, next to the classroom, really fills the gap between any other education experience.
