What's an Animation Pipeline?
- ✅ The standard every studio runs on: not a classroom concept — the real machinery behind every show that gets made
- ✅A relay race, not a solo sport: story, boards, layout, animation, and compositing each hand their work off to the next department
- ✅A chain of deadlines: every department delivers on time, in the right format, so the next one can actually use it
Why It's Important
- ✅Knowing how to draw isn't the same as knowing how to work inside the pipeline chain
- ✅Studios hire for pipeline-readiness: hitting your quota, delivering clean files, keeping production moving
- ✅Pipeline knowledge is usually the difference between a portfolio that gets an interview and one that gets a job

This program is for you if…

The P'studio is built for a range of learners — including those who are neurodiverse. Every department offers structured routines, daily one-on-one feedback, and a team environment where different ways of thinking are genuinely valued.
📅 All Classes follow a flexible weekly work schedule & format
📅 We'll model 40 hour work weeks
⏰ Teachers available between 8:00 am - 6:00 PM PST
🥦 Participation is required — this is a working studio model, not a self-paced course.
🥦 Every department has a designated supervisor.
🥦 Daily interaction, plus dedicated weekly 1-on-1 time with your supervisor
🥦 Beginner lessons are pre-recorded so you can rewatch anytime; key meetings are scheduled live, so it actually feels like a studio
🥦 We keep a 10:1 student-to-teacher ratio across every department, so you’re never just a number
Nope. You just need the fundamentals — the kind taught in any art, design, or animation program. We’ll teach you everything that comes after.
A certificate, diploma, or equivalent is required… It's not an intro course… Acceptance is not guaranteed.
Self-taught and never been to school? Email us at accounts@eatyourpeas.ca — we evaluate those applications individually.
🍏 A beginner-friendly start that builds, week by week, into real industry-standard production quotas.
🍏 Healthy working habits that transfer to an actual studio job — not just animation skills.
🍏 A full-time, 3-month core program, with flexible options to keep going afterward
By the time you finish, you'll have…
🍐 6–9 months of continued practice access.
🍐 The practical knowledge that normally takes up to 2 years on the job.
🍐 A certificate verifying your skill level and production quota speed.
🍐 The confidence of knowing you can hold your own across departments in a real pipeline.
🍐 A network and the connections to launch your own series production.

What artists and students are saying about learning with us
“I liked learning about the intricacies and all the elements that come into being a Storyboard artist in a studio! The collaboration in particular. I’m excited to use these details when I finally do get a storyboard job in a studio 😁”
“I liked everything. Everything was useful. When someone else asked questions, it was something I wasn't thinking of but needed to know. I learned so much in only 2 hours. Im on my way!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'd give you 10/5 stars if I could.”
“The session you held that day shed a light of what rigging in Toon Boom is and I think right now I'm on the right track. Thank you so damn much!”
“I guess I am very lucky because this work brought together my favourite skills, even if they are very far a part, art and logic. Im very greatful for this oppertunity, these skills are not usually paired. By the way, you guys gave me all the information I needed, you changed my life really. I can't believe I get to be a part of this industry 🙏”
“Amazing review, seriously I can't state how much I appreciate the initiative!”
“I really appreciated being let in for free, but was wondering if there was a way to retroactively pay for the class. I got a ton out of it and really enjoyed Anita's presentation :)”
“also 100% it really does mean the world ... because i truly do think this is one of the best communities I've ever come across and i want to be able support you all as often as i can”
“... it's the tone you set in the server, honestly! It's a very supportive space 💛”
