Apa yang termasuk dalam kursus ini?
Joseba starts the course by telling you about himself and his greatest influences from the genre.
Then, find out where to look for the audiovisual and photographic material to make your animation. Once you've compiled the material, devise your own storyboard and begin to cut out photos and videos with rotoscoping.
When you have all the material ready, move on to put the animation together in After Effects. Joseba does a review of the program's basics in case you're new to it, and then teaches you to make your animation in layers.

Esse curso abriu muito a minha mente. Quando eu era pequeno nos anos 80, adorava fazer colagem com revistas cortadas na capa dos meus cadernos. E dar movimento a essa lembrança foi bom demais.
O professor é super didático, atencioso, enfim, super acolhedor. E entende pra caceta sobre o que está falando. Recomendo demais!

La verdad que ha sido un curso super bueno. Aprendí muchos trucos nuevos para dar vida a mis collages en After. Y lo mejor toda la información y recursos compartidos por el docente. Me llevo un montón de cosas, tanto me gustó que ya estoy haciendo el siguiente curso que incluye el uso de la cámara de After.
