A course by Josep Bernaus
Josep Bernaus has worked as a 2D animator at a number of studios across Spain and the UK to bring life to animation and advertising projects for big-name clients including the BBC, CNN, and Televisión Española.
He is a huge fan of animated transformations and is never happier than when creating liquids in motion. His greatest passion, however, is animating characters and making the protagonists of scenes and comics.

Si eres docente y no tienes domestika plus, NO conviene porque no dan constancia. Realmente el curso trata sobre el proceso de animación. Toda la parte de Animate, el profesor habla para sí mismo, exhibe su habilidad, pero para nada instruye, bastante mala esa parte. Si lo vas a tomar para aprender Animate NO es recomendable. si no sabes cómo es el proceso de animación, en ese caso puede ser útil, A decir verdad, aprendí más sobre Animate de manera intuitiva que por el curso.
