Meet Your Instructor, Cliff!
Hey, I'm Cliff, professional fight animator and founder of Round Table Animation. I know how confusing learning fight animation can feel because I lived it — years of trial and error, frustration, and wondering "what's missing."
I built this Bootcamp to give you what I wish I had when I started: a clear, fun, step-by-step path to your first fully animated fight scene.

Here's What We'll Cover Inside the Bootcamp
🥋 The Combat Builder Blueprint
Most animators struggle with fight scenes because they try to animate everything all at once — without a clear plan, structure, or understanding of what makes a hit actually feel good.
The Combat Animator Bootcamp breaks everything down into focused phases:
→ Choreography first.
→ Then posing.
→ Then timing and impact.
By the time you finish, you won’t just “guess and tweak” anymore — you’ll follow a reliable system that helps you animate with confidence, clarity, and style.
Even if you’re a beginner. Even if you’ve never choreographed a fight before.
You’ll walk away with a complete fight scene — and a skill set you can use on every project after.
