“Very well, students. We are at the end of our epic adventure! I hope you have enjoyed the course very much and that it will inspire you for your work and your life. Hopefully everything you have learned in this course will help you open new doors, both personal and professional, in this vast but beautiful industry. I really want to see the different worlds and universes that you are going to create, what is inside your head, of your imagination ... I am sure they will be incredible scenarios. I want to remind you that it is very important that you follow the creative process that I have taught you throughout the course when creating your own project. Be very curious, try to soak up references and be inspired by everything you have at your fingertips. If one day you do not feel inspired, nothing happens, go see a movie or a series, play video games, read books ... anything that can bring inspiration back. It has been an honor to have had the opportunity to take this course and teach the world how I work; also my ideas and my knowledge. It has been an experience that has helped me improve both personally and professionally! Finally, I remind you that I will help you in everything that is within my reach in the forum. We will try to create a healthy and cool community, helping each other. I said, a big hug and give free rein to your imagination! ”
