The 2026 Roadmap

The Year of the Sprint

50 Exercises. 5 Sprints. One Christmas Short.

In 2025, Kudu Animation Studio was an idea. In 2026, it becomes a practice.

After completing the Sony Animation/YellowBrick curriculum, I realized that “Building Dreams, Frame by Frame” requires more than just passion, it requires a rock-solid foundation. To get Eep and Doodle ready for their debut, I’ve committed to a rigorous roadmap of 50 foundational animation exercises.

I’m moving through these in five thematic “Sprints,” progressing from the basic physics of weight to the complexities of character performance.

Join the Journey I’ve designed this roadmap as a tool for my own studio wall, but in the spirit of “Building in Public,” I’m sharing it with you. Whether you are a fellow animator looking to sharpen your skills or a supporter who wants to track our progress toward the 2026 Christmas Short, you are invited to follow along.
