Studying is undoubtedly essential in this area and in addition to all these courses, I always try to keep an eye out for news, attend classes, tutorials, accompany great professionals and learn more and more about the concepts and techniques for each project I do. Every job I do is better than the last and I feel I'm evolving more and more. Understanding character animation opened my mind to many things, and this shared knowledge was reflected in a huge improvement in both my motion graphics and my early character animations. Animating characters has always been a huge challenge for me, and taking this course to stick with it was one of the best choices I've ever made. And so I entered the universe of 3D Animation once and for all.Īnd last but not least, I recently finished the AnimAction course at Brave CG School, where I finally specialized in Character Animation. Taking this course took my work on a whole another level, not only because I learned how to use a new tool but also because I learned and reinforced many concepts and techniques I knew. Then I got a wonderful scholarship on the School of Motion platform, to take the Cinema 4D Basecamp course. I played with Maya a little, I knew the basics, and I really wanted to learn Cinema 4D, which was the software used by the production company I worked for.

I took an After Effects course on the Layer Lemonade online platform, and with that, I got the basis for my first job.Īs time went by, I started to feel the need to specialize in 3D Animation. It was a great experience to enter with an open mind to discover my path.Īt the end of the course, I made my first short film, and after graduating from college I decided to focus on animation for Motion Graphics.

I tried everything in college including drawing, 2D, 3D, post-production, and had my first encounter with the industry software. My first course focused on this area, and perhaps the most important one was the graduate course I took at Faculdade Méliès, a sensational place that gave me an extremely solid base for all stages of production. Yeah, it's time to give credit to those who taught me and helped me along this path.
