I created DCS after receiving hundreds of positive reviews from thousands of students about my courses. I wanted a permanent place to share my knowledge directly with students.
I work in commercial, film, and video games as an animator on some of the biggest projects in the world. I've also directed commercials for companies like LEGO and Braun. That experience is what you will learn from at DCS.
I can remember what it's like to be in your shoes so thanks for sharing your journey with me. I hope I can make it a little easier and more focused.
Cheers,
Lucas
