Start by familiarizing yourself with Fabio Medrano's work and influences.
Next, review basic animation concepts like timing and spacing, types of curves, basic deformations, anticipation, action, and reaction, among other things. Fabio also tells you about the secrets of composing shots, framing, optics, and camera angles.
Once you've established the foundations, it's time to look for references for your animation project and the creation of a mood board to serve as a base concept.
From here, create the sketch, the storyboard, the first animatic, and polish it shot by shot, before learning to texturize with the Arnold Render and make the last composition adjustments with After Effects.
To round out the course, correct the color and light levels, learn professional post-production tricks to improve the final piece, and see the most optimal codecs and formats to upload your animation to different platforms.

Reviews

A course by Fabio Medrano
Fabio Medrano is an animations director and motion designer. Although he began studying production and audiovisuals, curiosity gradually led him towards art direction and animation. He is what the industry calls a generalist professional, since in addition to creating, modeling, animating, and lighting, he also enjoys the intermediate rendering processes, the creation of textures, and the final composition.
Throughout his career he has carried out projects for brands such as Orange, Nestlé, PlayStation, Pepsi, Bezoya; corporate image pieces for television channels such as Canal +, Nova, Discovery Channel, Cuatro, Antena 3; visuals for concerts by groups like Skrillex; mappings; and apps, among others.
From a personal point of view, he is passionate about travel, and tries to capture his experiences around the world in his work through color, textures, and environments. He is also in love with cinema and comics, two things he draws from when thinking up new solutions when composing an image, lighting design, symbology, the use of costumes, props, and more.

El curso lo quería para reforzar mis conocimientos de motion graphics en cinema 4D y está cumpliendo con mis expectativas, no llevo mucho pero lo poco que llevo me resulta bastante interesante. Explica como mejorar la animación con algunos conceptos básicos y no tan básicos. Me parece un gran curso para seguir aprendiendo Motion graphics y cinema 4d
