Many of us animators and motion designers started in this amazing field, delighted by watching cartoons and movies in our childhood.

Hubspot’s email signature generator

This post may have some information outside the subject of this blog, but I thought it was worth sharing with you.

A couple of days ago I got an email from  Hubspot  with a  link  to a page where you can create your own email signature. The truth is that I loved it. It’s super easy to use and the results are very professional.

I am using it to update all the signatures of my email accounts and I am very happy. My signatures look much more professional and visually beautiful.

Here’s the link:

It should be noted that I do not have any type of affiliation with Hubspot and I do not earn anything with this, in fact the tool is free, so I hope you find it as useful as was for me.

Starting this new adventure as a teacher was amazing

Starting this new adventure as a teacher

was amazing

This week was very exciting for me. I received an invitation to become a teacher at Crehana .

Crehana.com is a Peruvian company dedicated to the production of online courses; or “unique educational experiences” as they call them. The company has a variety of courses in diverse creative fields and is growing very fast specially in South America.

Their numbers are incredible:

 

  • More than 700,000 students around the globe.
  • More than 24,000 uploaded projects, and
  • More than 450, 000 published courses

This is a totally new experience for me. I could never imagine that someday I was going to be teaching so many people, what I’ve learned in all this years in the audiovisual field. I am already excited waiting to have my course online and see what the students think about it. It has been an amazing experience for me and I hope to do this again very soon if people like it!

This first days I’ve recorded my screencast lessons and tomorrow I will be filming my on camera lessons and speeches (crossing my fingers and a bit nervous), but their team is very professional so everything should run smoothly.

I want to thank especially my family and friends that have been so supportive in this new journey I’ve been embarked.
