As someone who aspires to work in either the sports industry or creating futuristic elements for television or movies, I knew I needed to level up my motion design skills to include some 3D abilities. This past summer I went through School of Motion's Cinema 4D Basecamp taught by EJ Hassenfratz (eyedesyn.com). After completing the class, I was armed with the skills to go out there and take on any 3D challenge that may come my away.
Below you'll see a highlight of my work broken down per assignment and the skills focused on.
