Hello, nice to meet you

My name is Woo Sung Kang, an art director

currently working at 'The mill' located in LA, US

I am so happy and thrilled to meet you all

here in Coloso

I have participated in various Hollywood movies

such as Ghost in the shell, Charlie's angels, Skyscraper, Jay Z's music video

TV show's title works like

True Detective The Americans,

Various major company's product advertisement works

such as Google, Samsung, Amazon, etc.

I also participated in the recently released game, Destiny

and Apex season 3 6 7's game cinematics

Based on the numerous experiences, I was nominated for

Outstanding Title Design for Emmy Award, and won

multiple awards like above

Currently, I am cooperating with world class artists

and enjoy doing my job

The precious tool that made me come this far

is the Cinema 4D

Cinema 4D is the 3D tool that most frequently used in

3D motion graphic

The intuitive interface and the promising compatibility

with Adobe software gives the advantages not found in other 3D tools

including the easy yet powerful Mograph function

making it used not only in ads, but also in movies

I did not want to give simple tool classes

when planning these lectures

For you, who desire to grow into a much fabulous motion designer,

I wished to give you my stacked knowhows

that I've learned through Hollywood's work and directing

This is not just about learning the tool,

but a lecture on giving you the vision

and senses in motions for your development

No athlete can be a good sportsman without basic physical strength

So from starting from the basic, advanced

and to the product advertisement workflow production process

I hope you take these lectures

as a training

With the various amount of examples, explanation on theories and principles,

both starters and practical users will

have the chance to develop into a higher level

and awake the motion senses

The major audience for my lectures considered in the planning

are those who want to get a job in the motion industry

and the already employed who wants to level up

with better portfolios and talents

The lectures were made with

more than 20 practical examples

which will help you configure the demo reel much fancier

and learn Octane, the GPU renderer, also used a lot in the field,

and the After Effect compositing

I once got news from one of my previous students

of an employment

, which is remembered as the most worthwhile moments

I hope many people would study hard

work hard, get a job, and pursue their dream

with the help from my lectures

Now, let's find out about the training contents

This training lecture consists of Cinema 4D and Basic Design

Cinema 4D Basic Animation

Cinema 4D Practical Animation

and Actual Advertisement Workflow

The Cinema 4D and Basic Design part,

is an introduction on UI for the first users

and practically all of the Cinema 4D's essential functions

will be quickly handled

Especially, the Basic parts are based on the design theories

The work will be done by applying the principles

And will help you more in making an output

by first learning about artwork design using basic figure

layout modeling using the theories

texture lighting using the Octane

rendering, compositing

and learn the basic techniques about

how the design work is done

The various texture packs that we use in designing,

are made with 4K texture

this is a tiled texture using the seamless texture

So, even if you don't use the Octane

you can use any basic renderer like Redshift

and as you can see here, I have saved it in the Octane library

, so you can quickly open it

and use it right away

There will be a time where we can learn about

how to make these textures by volume function

and how to apply lots of design assets and how to use them

in Cinema 4D and Basic Design lecture

Next, in the basic animation part

You will learn about animation principles and how to use graphs

to make these tight tensioned animation

starting from the basic

The first animation example is a rotating cellphone

with these various objects popping out

and stretching out

Ball animation, the so called the most basic animation,

we will learn together and understand the animation principles

I will explain the fundamentals so that you can apply them

even when you are working on other projects

In the following lecture, Cinema 4D, you will make animation using

the most powerful function, the Deformer

For this example, too, I will explain how the character animation

is precisely made using which laws

, make you understand the textures

, design assets that are used to make these beautiful, cute assets

, and how this is repeated

to create an animation

After learning the basic skills in the introductory part

in the practical part,

The Cinema 4D's powerful function, Mograph

and simulation will be the subject, and we will find out

how to make the camera work more dynamic

when directing using the custom camera I made

Also, how to model character animation

fast and how to read

how to make animation a bit more easing using emitter

and how to configure and design the screen like this

and we will find about modeling we can do using volume

and liquid animation

using pose morph function

After upgrading your skills through the practical lectures,

you will lastly learn in the actual workflow lectures

about how to make product advertisement motion graphics

Every shot I've shown you in the teasers,

we will learn how to configure them using 10 examples, not just one,

and have an opportunity how the actual motion graphic ads

consisting of various shots are made

Also, I will share not only the experience from product commercials

but also guide you on making animation or designing the shots

We will look at how to edit with the transition method

and make a project

That will be the final hurdle for you in leveling up

The workflow process

will give help on not only on product advertisement

, but other things that come up when you work

such as forming reels,

or do other projects

Now, this is the overview of the contents you will be learning

I assure you I have put my best and soul into these

The huge amount may be heart threatening to you

which I worry a little, but I wanted you

to grow larger

and dream of being in the higher stage as a motion graphic artist

and a designer through these lectures

About the tools and version we will be using in the class,

I'll inform you for those who are not using the recent version,

especially when taking Cinema 4D class,

should check the license application method for students on the site

and used them beforehand

For those who are using the old versions, however,

if you're using software higher than R20,

there will be no problem following the class

excluding some changes in the functions and menu's configuration layout

The After Effects used in compositing,

I recommend you use the recent version if lower than CC15

And for the renderer class, the class focuses on design theory

and animation

, but how to use texture, shading

and lighting with Octane

will also be taking place in class Even if you don't have Octane,

It's not a problem following the class when studying the animation

, but I hope you perfectly follow the class

by subscribing or purchasing the software

and use the recent version since there are

various compatibility problems

such as Universal Material

The important thing you should consider is that

you should find out if there is the right graphic card on your PC

You should use NVIDIA graphic card that allows CUDA driver

driven in the Windows OS

Linux, or AMD Vega Navi GPU

supported in this Mac OS version or higher

So, please check if your graphic card

is supported

And as you can see here, in Octane,

you can buy a license, or in another way, subscribe to use

If you have 3 or more graphics cards on your PC

, you can use enterprise

, but if you have one or two graphic cards,

you can use studio

To check your graphic card's performance and whether if you can use Octane,

search Octane Bench

go in

download the right one according to your version

and check if the Octane Bench works okay

If you go into view result, click the single GPU

you can check which score your graphic card

is located

In fact, to work on animations,

it is recommended to have at least 200 points

, but the image works using single graphic cards

or making small sized animation

will not be a problem

Of course, you can use recent graphic cards

or use multiple old version graphic cards

and use Octane for faster work

, but even if you have only one graphic card

you can render right before going to sleep

and this habit will make it possible to work

on making animations even with a single graphic card

Now, I will simply tell you about

how to install Octane

first go to otoy.com

go in and sign in first

If you don't have an account,

use this Register a new account

and make a new one

Then, type in the

password and user name

and register here

If you make an account like this,

you will get a confirmation e mail

Click verify your email address

, then you can link the account

with google or facebook

Lastly, click sign in

Here is the last part, the registration

Click Korean

You can click Other here

For Billing information,

convert the address into English like this

Write password, continue

, and finish the registration

If you agree to the policy,

you can see that the registration is complete

Then in the case of Octane,

there is 2 ways for purchasing

Go into the shop and rent

or you can permanently purchase it

with 12 month maintenance plan

If you wish to use the new version after 12 months,

you have to upgrade

This makes additional payment

So, the rental may be

the better option in my opinion

I am also using it by rent, and the company's computer

have lots of graphic cards

, but for me, on my personal computer, I have 2 graphic cards

, so I am using Studio

So if you subscribe,

click Cinema 4D for the plugin

and if you continue,

you will get terms and conditions like this

For the payment,

I didn't fully write my address,

but if you click continue

and purchase it

you can download the software

And if you look at it here,

If you see select software here,

you have to download Studio ver Standalone

and for C4d, and install those two

For Standalone, based on Windows OS

I clicked the 2020 one

I installed 2020 1.5

Octane X is a version

for Mac users

After that, for Cinema 4D plugin

do Windows, and choose the latest 2020 version

, not Octane X version

the latest version should be installed

for these versions

Big Sur and Catalina is for Mac users

, so for those using Macs should change the OS

into Mac CUDA or Metal

and install here

If you download Standalone and Cinema 4D,

downloaded like this,

in the case of Standalone's version,

it enables you to use Octane

without using Cinema 4D

In the case of the C4D plug in,

go into Octane folder

and delete other versions except

for the one you've installed

Delete them all, and copy here

If you look at Program files, Maxon, Version 23, plug in

Paste here

Then run the Cinema 4D

You have to type in the username and password

If you sign in here,

octane menu will comes up

Click on the live viewer

I'll move the window

Let's open the settings

If you click on the Octane logo,

we can see the rendering part

If you go into the settings,

you can check which GPU to be used

If you are using GPU in the 3000s,

but have errors, click on denoising here and turn it off

If you are using 2 or more graphic cards

and have errors on tone map, here

you can click off one of them

So, that was how to install Octane

Next, I have arranged some of the sites

that might be helpful for you

Many of you may know, but for the starters,

here are some of the major sites

First is Behance.net

You can see all the works from artists all around the world

Especially in Discover in Behance,

you can see overall works in the Best of Behance

, but also you can go into the motion part, and you can see many works related to motion graphics

So, especially for the ones who are starting now

and those who started motion graphics recently,

can look at 20 or 50 works even, every day

Collect works that you like

and those combined

can be the process for finding your style

Think of this as an assignment and do it daily

believe that you can do these works too one day

Look at dozens of artworks everyday

, hit likes like this here and save

, and make your own library

, so that when you are working on projects or need ideas

, the collected library will be a bit of help

When doing those works,

here are the projects that we collected in that term

and here are the likes

The good works can fairly give you

lots of inspiration, so I hope you

use this part

Now, there is Pinterest

Pinterest is where so much images

show up when you research

Let's type motion design

You can get so many images like this

This is more like an image searching engine

for designers and artists

when looking for images that match them the most

Also make a library

This will help you become

a more growing motion designer

and as a motionographer as well I am showing you

some of the sites where you can get good works

If you look here at the main site,

you can see projects like here if you scroll down,

go to More quickies

and look for more previously uploaded works

Fo those who don't have Vimeo,

I insist you make a Vimeo account

because these works usually get uploaded at Vimeo

Vimeo is the major route for uploading the works

So hit likes in the Vimeo, and make a library

in the Vimeo itself

and collect good artworks to help you grow

Expressing your own color is important

, but looking at real good works

and getting ideas and inspiration

will be the major fuel for you to elope

Next, for those interested in titles,

go to Art of the Title

You can see the world artists' works

Here is the Hunters

In the case of the Hunters,

many Korean artists participated in it

Yongsub Song, my favorite, Jeff Han

, and Gryun Kim participated in this work

, so you can see good works like this

go to motion design

go to Stash

You can also see great works here

Let me show you our company's website

you can see whole a lot of artworks

So there are the works you can see

and here, Destiny

I worked with artist Taehoon Park

So, that was the Destiny

You can see various music videos

I participated

go in the archive

There are more works for you to see

So as you can see here,

our company works on various fields

Next is Elastic

In case of Elastic, they are famous for titles

and you can see world wide artists

great works

My friend, artist Gryun Kim

is making many great works

Next is Imaginary Forces

Imaginary Forces is also one of the typical motion graphic company

Buck is also so famous for so many fabulous works

It can take hours talking about companies

I can go forever

But instead, I just gathered the US studio

and gathered other overseas studios

I'm going to give you the bookmark

I hope you get inspiration from those

So, to tell you one software

There is one called Pure Reference

available in Windows, Mac, Linux, reasonable price

and if you want, you can use them for free too

This is a software in which

organizes various images

in times like when you need a reference on a project,

you can see them organized like this

, using the software

The ones you are seeing now are the images that gave me inspiration

when preparing for Coloso,

For those who dream of becoming a better motion designer,

there are three important advices that I'd like to give you

First, there is raising problem solving and application skills

In order to be recognized as an outstanding motion graphic designer,

I think the biggest talents are problem solving and application

These skills always comeimg from the attitude to find out oneself, research,

and seeking for new things

When those accumulated and combined with the numerous experiences

, then can the good works come out

This lecture will proceed in English version

so that you can find yourself and study

even after the class is over

And I will introduce to you suitable studying methods and artworks

so that you can learn a lot

Next, there is a saying that in image works, you do it with your butt

This is never an area where you can grow instantly at once

I remember hearing that when I first started motion graphic

from a senior in my school

who is currently an CEO at Laviducks

I remember learning so much from there

That's how much effort and time needs to be put in

resist all temptations, sit in front of the desk

and have the will to study

Have patient, fill in the parts you find lacking

steadily work hard, then can you become

the better motion designer artist

Put numerous time, follow the examples

, have the challenging heart by making them fully yours

, and follow me through the full course

Especially, for students and those who are looking for jobs,

don't compare yourself with others like friends from school or an academy

Look at a ton of works of the world's artists

and set that as your bottom line and try hard

Lots of the pupils I once taught

studied hard and participated in the class, and went into Korea's top studios

I felt so fulfilling to hear the employment news

I also work hard so that more people can work overseas

since the door towards the world is opening I'm going to help the talented

the fully prepared, including me, to have jobs overseas

Some would say it is hard to get respected treatment in this field

, but if your English is ready and your skill is a prominence,

I assure you that you can work overseas and get good treatment from others

Of course, Korea also holds so many opportunities

and so many excellent studios

, but if you dream of getting a job abroad,

Dream bigger

and try harder to that degree

I, too, have dedicated 3 months, in which for 2 months I had to take time off work,

into this Coloso and worked hard

It may be an online class, but make your own schedule and purpose

don't just look and see what your listening, follow them yourself

understand the principles and make them truly yours

I really hope you fulfill your goals

and those looking for jobs, I hope you try all the examples

Improvise it and make it yourself

Make great reels and get employed at some place great

Lastly, I hope all of you who are listening to my class

have the eye and motion sense to be awoken after the lecture

Let's see you in class 2 Thank you
