GOLAEM ACADEMY: FIND YOUR WAY THROUGH THE CROWD!

We are launching Golaem Academy: a FREE program to train yourself as a crowd artist.

In the midst of the Covid crisis, productions are starting again with adapted production protocols which are making crowds more and more critical. Crowd artists are therefore more wanted than ever.

Golaem wants to give the opportunity to pursue a career in crowds to whoever wants to and therefore decided to create a special event called Golaem Academy.

What’s in Golaem Academy?

4 x 4 hours of training sessions

Assignments on typical use cases: stadium, battles, city

Review of your assignments by the Golaem team

Endorsement on the Golaem Artists page if one of your assignment is selected for the Golaem Academy reel

What do I need to enroll?

Have access to a computer with an internet connection and running Maya for the assignments

Commit to follow the 4 training sessions and do at least 1 assignment

No money, it’s FREE!
