This course is intended for Advanced After Effects users who are looking to use Cinema 4D for 3D design and have little or no experience of the application currently.
Students should have the following prerequisite knowledge prior to attending the course:
- Delegates should have a sound understanding of Adobe After Effects and 3D graphics.
Whilst there is no certification for this course, our trainers are industry-experienced Maxon Cinema 4D Instructors. Additionally, you will receive a certificate from Soho Editors upon completion of the course.
Firstly, we are long established as part of the post-production industry, and therefore have an excellent understanding of the market, and the skills that post-production staff need to have. We are not purely a training company, with other divisions of the group having a huge presence in the industry.
Secondly, unlike a lot of our competitors that provide training to the post-production industry, many of the courses we run are fully approved and certified, and will give you a recognised qualification if you pass the exam (more on this later).
We do not do general training – our courses are all industry specific, and we are experts in this field.
Thirdly, we're situated in the heart of London's post-production district – where better place to train on post-production technology?
Fourthly, the team here is friendly, helpful, efficient, understanding, flexible and approachable, and the trainers, as well as being all of the above, are fully qualified and certified, and all have significant industry experience and kudos as editors / talent in their own right.
The professional courses we run are usually Manufacturer Certified - the ones that aren't are still Industry Approved. This means that you will get certification or experience with the relevant manufacturer or software and proving your level of expertise if you pass the exam.
You can be assured of training to the highest possible standard, with your trainer being a qualified expert with significant current experience both professionally and as a trainer.
