Faruco

2D Motion Artist

Hello, I’m Faruco, a 2D motion creator. Starting from my activities on YouTube, I’ve recently had the opportunity to work on commercial MVs and animation for many popular titles. My strength lies in handling the entire MV production process - planning, illustration, editing, and even music composition when needed - all in a one-stop workflow.

In this course, I’ll focus specifically on my specialty: 2D motion. I’ll share my methods and mindset for maximizing expression with limited production time, along with efficient workflows. You’ll work through assignments designed to take you from beginner to intermediate, and learn original VFX techniques that don’t rely on pre-made assets. There will be some steady, hands-on work—but we’ll tackle it together.

Meet the Instructor

Question 01

During your learning journey, what parts did you find the most difficult, and how did you work to overcome them?

This may go slightly beyond the scope of the course, but for me, the most challenging aspect has always been managing workload and improving efficiency when completing projects entirely on my own. It’s a challenge I continue to work on even today.
That said, when you focus too heavily on efficiency and rely excessively on ready-made assets or presets, the result often becomes “something you’ve seen before” or a piece that feels overly asset-driven. That’s why I constantly think about how to bring out my own identity as much as possible within limited time.

To achieve this, I focus not only on automating and organizing my workflow, but also on streamlining my thinking itself. By reducing time spent hesitating or overthinking, I can devote more energy to the truly creative parts of the process.

Question 02

When creating motion graphics or music videos, which aspects do you focus on the most, and what skills are essential to express them?

What I value most is creating something that feels good to watch, while fully committing to what I personally love—without cutting corners. Even when deadlines are tight, I always ask myself, “How far can I push the expression within this limited time?”

Since my university days, I’ve been deeply into rhythm games like Muse Dash, Beatmania IIDX, and SOUND VOLTEX. Those experiences became the foundation for my appreciation of “satisfying motion” and the synchronization between music and visuals.
The desire to create that same sense of satisfaction myself is what continues to drive my work today.

Of course, improving technical skills is important, but equally important is encountering content that genuinely excites and moves you. That emotional connection plays a huge role in creative growth.

Question 03

What do you think is the most important point when turning output into a finished work?

For me, the key is always to surpass your previous self. It can be completely subjective. By continuing to release work while thinking, “This is definitely better than last time,” your personal quality standard gradually rises from 100%, to 101%, to 102%.

Behind every strong output lies strong input. However, simply consuming the same references as everyone else will only result in work that feels predictable. What truly matters is having a clear personal vision of what you want to create, while actively seeking out inputs that challenge and surprise your expectations.

When I feel stuck, I sometimes step away entirely and impulsively buy indie games on Steam, playing them until I’m fully satisfied. These unexpected detours often spark new ideas in my creative work. That’s why I value actively searching for input that offers surprise and discovery.

Question 04

Do you have a message for students taking this course?

I often receive comments on social media like, “That smooth, chewy motion feels so Faruco!” or “This MV looks just like Faruco’s style!”
Hearing that my personal vision has become a recognizable identity is truly an honor, and I’m deeply grateful to everyone who watches and supports my work.

That said, behind every piece of work is not just talent, but a steady accumulation of effort. It took me countless trials, errors, and an enormous amount of time to bring my ideal animations to life.
If you continue learning and gaining experience, you too will be able to create the work you truly want to make.

What matters most is having the stamina to keep going until the end.
I hope this course becomes a helpful guide in your learning journey and supports you in continuing to move forward.
