Accademia NEMO Review

Choose it only if you want the Animation Cinema course or in any case where the drawing is planned. The other courses, like 3D graphics, deal with topics that are never explained in the workshops!
Speaking of the 3D graphics course, it was a real disappointment. Approximately 180 hours of lessons in 8 months, twice a week, provide the same knowledge that an online course on UDEMY, from the notoriously reduced cost compared to Nemo, provides by following the lessons from the comfort of home watching videos.
The stations made up of simple laptops of low power, without SSD, are used for teaching the course on Maya and Zbrush, on which we must also take the exam in 3 hours !!!
The teacher, who did not do the minimum necessary for teaching the topics, was then replaced by the director with a more professional teacher, who made us recover the program. Only for this I add a star, if nothing else listen to the problems reported by the students and solve them.
But the worst thing is communication via e-mail!
For example, to register for extra classes (open-day), you must fill out the relevant Google form, as soon as the form becomes available. But you are not warned at the moment, and only 20 people out of 600 are the lucky ones extracted from SORTE who will be able to enter the appeal !!!
The deplorable website does not even include lesson times, so if you were commuting from home you can never be sure to arrive and find the academy open! Try to enter the site: you will only see the characteristics of the academy, the teachers etc ... information to sell you the registration and that's it!
Only the class blog is a good way to communicate with teachers, as long as they are willing to respond, and they usually are.
In addition, the Nemo area with online tutorials is non-existent, forget it!

To summarize: subscribe only if you intend to animate or draw, but think about it anyway: the defects listed above also collide with this course.

Also do not register if you have to commute from large distances or take a flat: it is absolutely not worth the expense.

I COPY THIS REVIEW THAT HAS BEEN DELETED.
(some 5-star reviews have been given by those who work there in the Academy so oh well, that's saying a lot, and unfortunately I am forced to give a star instead of two to balance)

Perhaps the service offered is in line with what they ask for annual fees (which I know has increased in recent years). The secretariat is excellent and is always available to lend a hand when needed, but it is a pity for not very transparent dynamics relating especially to evaluations. Going to such a school to learn how to animate is not very useful, everything they say is present in a book (The Animator's Survival Kit) and on websites and there are dozens of FaceBook groups where even experienced people give advice to beginners on how improve their animations, and on Youtube many tutorials on how to use the software they teach at the Academy. Also, very importantly, what is taught in these three years is just the basis of what you really need to know. There is no reference to animation on After Effects, there is no mention of cut-out animation on Toon Boom Harmony (a technique used by the largest animation studios), and therefore after leaving the Academy you find yourself unable to do almost anything. of what the studios are looking for. The lessons have very few hours, often barely enough to explain the lesson of that day, but for corrections or even to ask for advice, please refer to the class blog, which luckily works (usually answers within one or two / three days maximum ). To go to this school you have to be highly motivated on your own, because expecting motivation from the school itself can be dangerous. Since you cannot fail between one year and another, many people leave after three years as they entered the first year, perhaps they were waiting to find motivation in this school? Unfortunately, with a few exceptions, many professors limit themselves to "okay, keep it up", damaging the image of the school and the student's career. There is nothing wrong with saying "okay, keep it up", but I would expect more from a school that wants the most from its students. If students are not struggling to do better, they will be ignored by the professors.
So, if you really want to learn how to animate and don't want to do it through tutorials on youtube or other platforms, and you REALLY are the first (and only) supporters of yourself, this is a good school for you.

PS: I understand how difficult it is to choose a school that has very little reviews on the internet, so if you are interested in enrolling you can write me privately and learn about my PERSONAL experience in this school in more detail.

Decisamente una tra le migliori accademie d'Italia!

Excellent school, excellent teachers, lessons are understandable and useful very kind secretary, workshop with many disney professionals and more
