A course by Moncho Massé
Like a true '80s kid, Moncho grew up with his eyes glued to the screen, captivated by the creations of Toriyama, Miyazaki, Disney, and Cartoon Network, and his hands glued to his Nintendo and Sega controls. It is thanks to these influences that he developed his own personal motion graphics style.
After studying audiovisual communication and journalism at the University of Valencia, Spain, he worked as a video editor for a small agency in Amsterdam. It was there that he discovered his true passion for animation, which has led him to create motion graphics pieces for a wide range of clients and projects.
