Class Description
This 1-day crash course, we will demonstrate how to make a simple logo animation in CINEMA 4D and transform it into a compelling motion graphic with After Effects, incorporating two distinct visual styles. Starting with a prebuilt animation rendered from CINEMA 4D, Participants will employ industry-standard techniques, utilizing materials, lights, and the library of effects in After Effects, to enhance the project’s look and feel. Our Instructors are well versed in Cinema 4D and 3D concepts and have a knack for making this challenging program less intimidating.
