PIRANI LABS
TRAINING MEETS PRODUCTION.
Learn from the people actually making the work.
Pirani Labs is the education and professional development arm of Pirani Productions. Workshops, mentorships, courses and industry programs built around how animation, VFX, and film are actually made. Real workflows. Real production problems. Real practitioners.
Selected credits and experience across our instructors and studio network:
The gap isn't information. It's experience.
Some things can be taught in a tutorial. Professional judgment is learned through doing, feedback and repetition.
01
Decision Making
Learn how professionals choose what to prioritize.
02
Feedback
Receive direct critique, iterate and defend creative decisions.
03
Pipeline
Understand how work moves between departments.
04
Standards
Learn what production-ready work actually requires.
05
Portfolio
Build work that holds up under professional scrutiny.
06
Career
Understand how to enter, navigate and grow in the industry.
PIRANI LABS EXISTS TO BRIDGE THAT GAP
Mentorship Programs
Small cohorts. Working professionals. Direct critique.
THE PIRANI ECOSYSTEM
Three platforms. One creative network.
PIRANI LABS
Learn + Exchange
Mentorships, workshops, courses and professional development led by working practitioners.
PIRANI ORIGINALS
Develop + Experiment
A space for artists and filmmakers to develop original ideas, collaborate and build work outside the limits of client briefs.
PIRANI PRODUCTIONS
Make + Deliver
Commercial animation, VFX and film production built with professional artists, producers and supervisors.
The boundaries are intentionally porous. Instructors can become collaborators. Artists developing Originals can work on Productions. People we meet through Labs can enter our wider creative network.
WE PAY ATTENTION TO GREAT PEOPLE.
Pirani Labs gives us the chance to see how artists think, work, respond to feedback and collaborate. When Pirani Productions is hiring, strong participants from our programs are seriously considered alongside our wider talent network.
Participation does not guarantee employment.

TEACH AT PIRANI LABS
YOU'VE DONE THE WORK. PASS IT ON.
Pirani Labs is building a network of working artists, filmmakers, producers and technical specialists who can turn real professional experience into practical training. We're looking for people with something specific to teach — a process, discipline, way of thinking or body of experience that artists usually only learn by being inside the industry.
MENTOR
Guide a small cohort through sustained development and critique.
WORKSHOP
Teach one focused skill, process or professional problem.
MASTERCLASS
Break down a project, discipline or career through your own experience.
COURSE
Build structured learning that artists can return to on demand.
We're not looking for lecturers. We're looking for practitioners. You don't need to teach full-time. You do need to know your craft, communicate clearly and be willing to show how the work actually gets made.
Pirani Labs can support with:
Program development · recording · marketing · registrations · student management · payments
You bring:
Experience · perspective · process · critique · something worth teaching
