Interview

Meet the Instructor

Question 01

What led you to choose this topic or theme?

I started out as a 2D animator, focused on drawing, movement, and visual rhythm. Over time, I became curious about 3D, and I realized that everything I learned in 2D became the foundation for how I now build and animate in 3D.

This class is about building that bridge, using the expressive, stylized mindset of 2D to make your 3D work feel dynamic and full of exaggeration.

Question 02

What makes your class different from other classes?

In this course, I want to show the full creative process, from designing a character and translating it into 3D, to animating, texturing, and compositing everything into a final piece. My goal is not to turn you into a technical expert, but to show that you can create expressive, powerful work using just the basics. This course is about using the tools to bring your ideas to life.

Question 03

What are some essential skills or "must-have" tools in this industry,
and why?

Adaptability and a strong understanding of animation and design principles are essential. Of course, knowing your software is important, but the tools will always change. Your sense of design, movement, and rhythm, however, stays with you. I would say the real “must-have” skill is curiosity and passion for what you do, constantly experimenting and learning how to become a better version of yourself.
