Carlos El Asmar responde a sus preguntas sin filtros
Por Jesse Rylander
Hace pocas semanas anunciamos el primer AMA [Ask Me Anything, por sus siglas en inglés] con nuestro fundador Carlos El Asmar. En esta oportunidad, Carlos respondió preguntas sobre Motionographer, el Festival F5, el galardón The Motion Awards y otros temas de interés para nuestro público.
Siendo honestos, Carlos no estaba muy entusiasmado con la idea. Él es un creador que ha pasado décadas tras bastidores. Nunca ha tenido cuentas en redes sociales. Y si alguien le menciona la palabra ‘Tik Tok’, probablemente lo verá mirando alrededor en busca del Capitán Garfio.
Aún así, ¡aquí estamos! Y él accedió a tomar asiento en el centro del escenario y compartir sus respuestas con nuestros miles de seguidores. De más está decir que tuvimos que engatusarlo y hasta acorralarlo para lograr nuestro objetivo. Finalmente lo mantuvimos frente a la cámara el tiempo suficiente para responder a todas las preguntas que le hicieron.
Aunque Carlos hubiera preferido estar en cualquier otro lado, y de forma vehemente rechazó repetir tomas, creemos de corazón que disfrutó la experiencia. Pero, por supuesto, eso es algo que él nunca admitirá.
De cualquier forma pensamos que lo más importante, aquello que ustedes esperan de un AMA, es que se sienta auténtico y sin filtros. Con Carlos, para bien o mal, eso es exactamente lo que obtendrán.
Carlos es famoso entre sus amistades por hacer largas las historias cortas. Y también por hablar muy rápido. Así que tuvimos que editar y agregar algunas coletillas para que pudieran seguirlo. Esperamos haber logrado nuestro cometido.

What is this C4D course about?
Gain insight on how to create mathematically correct and attractive infinite animated loops in Cinema 4D. I will teach you how to make people watch your shots 20 times in a row.
What You’ll Learn In This Course?
LESSON #1: Basic principles
In this first lesson, we will go through some of the basic principles for looping. Some math (radius, sin, and cos), keyframing, and the importance of even numbers. This will help you understand the fundamentals so you can come up with your own infinite loops when you are done with this masterclass.
LESSON #2: Rigging & Animation Wheel of Strive
Here we will start building our loop with simple shapes and start tweaking our animation. We will use a lot of Align to Spline and polish our animation with a timetrack. We’ll also rig the camera to loop and see our animation coming to life.
LESSON #3: Rigging & Animation Slide Strolling
We will do a complete reconstruction of my “Slide Strolling” animation. There will be e a lot of formulas and spline wrapping to get our weird curvy shapes. We rig the camera to loop and we will start to see our animation come to life.
LESSON #4: Design Wheel of Strive
This is a small lesson where we add design elements to our loop. We also have an extra look at all elements and add bevels.
LESSON #5: Design Slide Strolling
In this lesson, we make sure that we have enough subdivisions everywhere. We will also adjust the design, add bevels and make sure everything loops seamlessly.
LESSON #6: Compositing Wheel of Strive
This lesson will be inside After Effects. Here we will import our render together with our masks. With adjustment layers and masks we fine-tune our colors. Lastly, we go through some tips for making it look perfect on Instagram.
LESSON #7: Compositing Slide Strolling
This lesson will be inside After Effects. Here we will import our render together with our masks. With adjustment layers and masks we fine-tune our colors. Lastly, we go through some tips for making it look perfect on Instagram.

Incredible energy that emerges from this music AirplaneMode. If you followed my last Instagram stories you must know that the liquid simulation took me forever to calculate! Glad that the 48 hours of calculation could be used in the final rendering. If this work motivates you as much as me, do not hesitate to leave a comment. Nothing can stop us!
