Motion design for the next generation 2D + 3D and AI

Yes. Foundations starts with composition, animation principles and the tools. Prior 3D experience is not required; practice and project revisions between sessions are essential.

Foundations is two months and one short film. Production is four months with deeper briefing, 3D, AI and compositing, two projects and two case studies. Production also includes a portfolio-website video lesson.

Groups follow a shared timetable and discuss practice with other participants. One-to-one learning provides individual reviews and an agreed schedule. Both formats follow the chosen programme.

Denis Sazhin teaches the programmes: a CG Generalist and art director with over 14 years of experience. Meetings review your project decisions, frames and revisions. You apply the material independently between sessions.

One-to-one Foundations includes 16 sessions and Production 32, with 60- and 90-minute meetings up to twice weekly. Allow additional practice time. Group start dates and schedules are agreed before the programme begins.

Yes, if you reserve time for meetings and practice. Discuss your workload when choosing a format. One-to-one scheduling is agreed individually; groups need a shared session time.

The core applications are After Effects, Cinema 4D and Redshift, with AI services selected for the task. Unreal Engine is not included in Foundations or Production.

It depends on your configuration and application versions. Compare your processor, RAM, GPU, operating system and free disk space with Adobe and Maxon requirements. Include your specifications when discussing training.

AI helps with ideas, images, individual shots and narration. Composition, movement and final assembly are developed with classical CG. For exact geometry, camera and lighting, keep control in 3D.

GPT Image 2, Nano Banana Pro, Seedance 2.5, Kling, MiniMax, ElevenLabs, Claude, ChatGPT and Codex. Choose tools for the project stage; you do not need every subscription at once.

Foundations targets one completed short film. Production targets two finished projects and two documented case studies. Develop them through practice and revisions rather than only repeating tutorials.

Yes, all programmes allow instalments. Group Foundations is ₽34,999 and Production ₽69,999, with payment scheduling agreed before the start. One-to-one programmes are four payments of ₽20,000 or ₽37,500 respectively.

Training is covered by a contract, with official payments through YooKassa. Software subscriptions, AI subscriptions and paid generations are separate.

Enrolment is open and joining is free. Classes run in small groups of five or more; the start date is announced in advance. Scheduling and a convenient payment plan are agreed before training.

Yes. A ₽8,000 review includes an advance assessment of materials and a two-hour meeting. Send the film or scene beforehand and outline your questions about composition, animation, lighting, compositing or workflow.

The whole programme is designed to help you begin working on commercial tasks and apply for studio opportunities after completing the course. You will develop practical skills and create finished work: one project in Foundations or two in Production. These pieces let a potential employer assess your level, while you learn to explain your decisions. Further progress depends on your communication skills and your ability to adapt to a team’s working processes.
