Industry Guest Speakers
The Motion Design industry changes rapidly, so it's integral that students know what is happening with trends and practices in the field. That's why we bring industry leaders and professionals into the classroom to share their knowledge and experience. Guests have included animator Ryan Woodward, Stash’s Stephen Price, David Lewandowski, and the industry professional organization, PromaxBDA. Studios also visit to share their work and to talk to students about their creative process as well as future employment opportunities. Visiting studios include: Loyal Kaspar; We Are Royal; SpaceJunk; Psyop; Jib Jab; Eyeball NYC.

The Collaboratory
We are proud to say that every Ringling student, regardless of major, is guaranteed the opportunity to gain professional work experience. Our Collaboratory Commitment pairs teams of Ringling students with local businesses to give students a taste of real-world projects, expectations, and deadlines. Facilitated by Collaboratory staff, students will meet with clients looking for creative, unconventional solutions to their branding and design challenges and execute the entire creative process of concepting, presenting, and building campaigns that meet their demands.
