This was the best camp we enrolled my daughter in for this Summer (2017)! She had a lot of fun and enhanced more of her creative talent for drawing and illustrating. Todd, the director of Elite Animation and all his wonderful staff made her experience enjoyable and fun. She really thrived in learning more of what she loves to do! Thank you for such an awesome time and making a part of her Summer a fantastic learning experience. We'll definitely be back! :) More...

My son starting attending this Academy last April. He loves it! He went to the summer camp and has enrolled for the fall session. He willingly gives up his Saturday mornings to attend this Academy. He has a natural talent for drawing but has learned so much about drawing fundamentals and animation, in general. Mr. Todd is wonderful and so are the teachers! More...

My son has had invaluable experiences with Elite over several years now. He was one of their first returning students. He has had mentoring and instruction from professionals who are aiding in his development of a competitive portfolio for applying to colleges and pursuing his dream of a career in animation. Todd and Gladys have recruited first class professional instructors and given kids of all ages access to classes that feed their passion for animation. My son loves Elite! More...

The Elite Animation Academy is truly a a great experience for anyone interested in the art of animation and storytelling through drawing. Not only can you find several well qualified and friendly teachers but you can also be surrounded by and enjoy the company of several other students who have the same interests as you. My experience there truly excelled my drawing skills and thanks to they're help my art skills were able to grow to a level which I could get accepted in to art schools like the Savannah College of Art and Design and Ringling College of Art and Design. So if you get the chance or opportunity to go please take it and know that your skills will only get better and better through practice and resources that can be provided by the Elite Animation Academy.

My daughter enjoyed the Anime/Manga summer camp taught by Mr. Chi very much! She finally felt that she found a place where others understood her passion and could help her increase her skills. She went on to take a 12 week class to learn more and her talent continues to grow from his instruction. The owner, Todd West, has always been so informative and friendly, helping me find the right class for my daughter. It is a place she feels comfortable exploring what she can do, and I feel very confident instructors she is working with there. She trusts them enough to try the dipping her feet in the digital arena, which she will not even try at home! More...

Elite Animation Academy has provided our son with university level art training enabling him to excel well beyond his peers in terms of drawing skills, composition, and learning the animation process. Todd and Gladys are wonderful people. We have known them for years now, and Elite has become our son's second home. They work wonderfully with kids and teenagers. My son's experienced at Elite has changed his life and we are forever grateful! More...

I had a great experience with Elite Animation. The teachers live up to their reputation. They are all knowledgeable in their field. The program has given me the foundation to recognize and to build my skill toward my goal to be a professional animator. I'm impressed that they have state of the art equipment and staff for instruction in 2D, 3D, illustration, and digital design. I've attended since I was in Middle school and now I'm about to be a Senior in High School. It's meant that much to me. More...

Mr. West and his staff are impeccable at their work, ethics & above all EXTREMELY Knowledgeably professional with all avenues of animation. My son is High Functioning Autistic and fell in love with the school, staff, curriculum set before him. This will be my sons career and I can not express the love and attention that Mr. West and all the teachers take a vital & intimate roll in each students curriculum. The staff and director allowed me to work with them and share my sons needs and then set an outstanding portfolio/curriculum for him to excel. I can not thank The West's and the staff for the steady hand and compassionate heart they have for their craft and these students. The ratio is perfect, learning environment is superior. We're currently working online as we're 650 miles away. Except for winter and summer where we travel and relocate. However, because of this phenomenal school we're seriously working towards living in Orlando. My sincere thank you to the West's and staff of Elite Animation. A special thank you to Mr. Jason. You make Reid's world every Saturday. More...

Before we found Elite, we were looking everywhere for an animation school for my then 11-year-old. We sent him to expensive iD Tech camps all over the country. It was such a blessing to have found a school with such highly qualified instructors in a small setting, giving one-on-one attention. The classes are great, such as traditional animation, stop-motion, Flash, 3D Maya, animé, and many others. The owners, Todd and Gladys, are also wonderful. My son has learned so much over the past year. We would highly recommend Elite for your budding creative genius. More...

Our son has been attending classes for nearly 2 years and just loves it. The teachers are wonderful, friendly, knowledgable and very talented. Just love the variety in classes (from traditional paper and pencil to current computer animation styles). We are thrilled to see our son's creations and advancements each week and enjoy having him teach us about techniques and terminology. Can not recommend this place enough! More...

My son has been a very happy student with the Elite Animation team for the better part of a year. We have watched him grown by taking the appropriate courses recommended through the curriculum. Each week, he becomes more excited than the last as he adds new skills and projects to his portfolio. I would recommend Elite Animation Academy to any parent who wants their child to pursue creativity, exploration, and art as a passion. More...
