Reviews
A course by Joseba Elorza
Joseba Elorza studied to become a sound technician, and after a few lackluster years in art school, MiraRuido was born. His mind-bending project emerged out of a collision between his two passions; he used to spend his mornings surrounded by sound at a radio station and long nights creating collages. Little by little, the visual side tuned out the audio and transformed into a lifestyle.
His illustrations have been featured in magazines like Esquire, New Scientist, and the Wall Street Journal. He has also created animations for clients such as National Geographic and Amazon, and music videos for bands like Green Day, Berri Txarrak, and more.

I like the course, it is very detailed, and on point.

PlusI appreciate the clear information provided without feeling overwhelmed, especially for the After Effects portion. Joseba is a very good instructor and I would take MANY courses from him. I am an experienced photographer and digital artist and very savvy with Premiere Pro, but for some reason using After Effects has always overwhelmed me—no matter what course I took or tutorial I watched—until now. Thank you!
