2D and 3D Animation with After Effects and Cinema 4D

A great team goes beyond the sum of its components; its members must complement each other, enhancing their strengths and minimizing their weaknesses. Through the perfect combination of Adobe After Effects and Cinema 4D, Italian animator Andrea Gendusa has created the ultimate animation dream team.

In this course, you will learn to combine 2D and 3D animation techniques to surprise your viewers, adding depth to your animations and breaking the linear limits of 2D.

Get to know a bit about Andrea and his professional career. Learn what types of projects he works on and take a look at some of his main influences.

Start developing your final animation project using a brief and a script, identifying a simple idea to combine 2D and 3D in at least one scene of the project.

Create a storyboard to define the angles and strong points of each frame, the different camera movements, and how to transition into a scene made in 3D.

Using your storyboard as a reference, define the visual style of your piece. Using Illustrator and After Effects, effects, textures, and different post-production techniques will be applied, depending on the artistic direction of your project.
