Instructor Credentials

My name is Daniel Ascanio, and I’ll be your instructor for the Cinema 4D course. I have been working with Cinema 4D for more than 10 years, I have also worked with other programs such as After Effects. Now I am working as a Senior Motion Designer at Playstation.

During my first job as a video editor, I realized that Motion Design was the right path for me. In 2012, I got a certificate in Visual Effects for Film and TV, 3D Modeling & Visual Effects Production, and Interactive Media Design. With the knowledge gained in receiving these certificates, I had my first few experiences in the field working as a motion graphic artist at Global, one of the biggest national TV stations in Canada. Since 2016, I have worked at a variety of companies including Apple, Facebook, and PlayStation, where I’m currently working as a full-time employee. During my time at PlayStation, I’ve worked on the marketing campaign for the release of high-profile games like Spiderman, Horizon, and God of War, and many others. As well as the video campaign for the launch of the PlayStation 5 and its accessories. I’ve also worked on the video content used in major gaming and technology events like E3 and CES.
