All audiovisual projects go through a series of phases before the final product is released. These are pre-production, production, and post-production. In this Domestika course, see how each is applied to the creation of an animated short film.
Alongside Dalmiro Buigues and Martín Dasnoy—founders of the animation studio Buda.tv—learn the creative process for a short animation, from the concept to the final piece. Discover the techniques that have led them to work with brands such as Rappi, Nike, and Fox, and apply them to the peculiar final project: a collaborative short film in which all the students participate simultaneously.

Não se propõem a ensinar o que venderam. Eu esperava aprender mais sobre a parte burocrática e não ficar olhando um video em velocidade 2 deles trabalhando no programa. Se fosse pra isso eu teria comprado uma aula de programa. Não disponibilizou nenhum material que ajudasse na prática.
Enfim, decepcionada é pouco. Foi um total desperdício do meu tempo e dinheiro.

Le doy manita abajo porque esperaba que me explicaran aunque sea un poco sobre cómo usar los programas, ya que el nivel de este curso es de "iniciación", pero no hacen ni un tutorial básico sobre como hacer el animatic o empezar a modelar.... Yo se usar blender y me compré este curso con la intención de aprender C4D y estoy decepcionada por eso. Eso sí, te explican su proceso creativo y como llevar a cabo el proyecto.. pero de resto casi nada de tutorial, me hace sentir que perdí el dinero T.T
