Motion Graphics Course May 2014

Graphic design is a priori a discipline independent of audiovisual postproduction. But what happens when these graphics and titles must be integrated with the rest of the shots that make up the edition. From static titles and rollers to complex 3D bumpers, motion graphics are used daily by everyone who finishes an audiovisual project.

In this course we will study the basis of this discipline, establishing the work structure regardless of the tool used. In addition, all the contents will be exemplified through the most used tools for the development of motion graphics: After Effects, Motion and Cinema 4D.

PROFESSOR: José Carlos Panadero.
