Andre Blender, animation and sound design
No reviews yet

Hi there!

My name is André, and I'm an audio-visual generalist. I specialize in everything video and sound.

Are you looking to learn how to do
- video editing
- sound design
- visual effects
- or animation?

Are you looking for someone that can teach you how to use
- Blender
- After Effects
- Premiere Pro
- Photoshop
- Davinci Resolve
- or Reaper DAW?

Look no further! I'll teach you from the basics, all the way up to the more advanced features and techniques.

With more than 18 years of Blender experience and 5+ years of video editing and sound design experience I'll help guide you and teach you on how to achieve professional quality video content in no time.

First, I would love to get to know who you are and how much you already know on the subject that we will be covering. This helps to break the ice and also helps us to be more comfortable during the teaching journey. Besides, it's more fun to learn with someone that you can call a friend than with someone that you view as a teacher! :D

The next steps will be to discover what the end goal will be. What is the one thing that you want to walk away with after each session as well as at the end of the teaching journey. Do you want to go home with the knowledge of how to model a car, or animate a puppy, or maybe even create professional looking visual effects? Achieving your dreams is my goal.

After each lesson I will give you a short exercise to practice on your own. It doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to show that you tried to apply the principles and lessons that we discussed during our classes. The process of learning is more effective when you are doing.

The lessons can end at any time when you feel that you are competent enough to take on the rest of your audio-visual journey on your own. I will even teach you how to set up a freelance profile and make an amazing looking portfolio that will help boost you to hook clients.
