I’ve been working in the industry for over 15 years, most of which was spent at various studios in London UK.
Being a Motion graphics Artist is the best job in the world!
I’ve been lucky enough to work with major brands like Disney, Fox, Porsche, American Express and more, mainly for UK, US and European clients (and I got to travel all over the world doing it too!)
I’m now teaching full time right here at CG Shortcuts.com which I founded way back in 2018 as a place where I could share what I’ve picked up over the years.
My goal is to help you craft your dream motion graphics career too and help you master Cinema 4D sooner.

There are many tutorials included with membership, covering mainly Cinema 4D, Redshift and Octane. We also look at Daz Studio and a few small plugins. Cinema 4D is really the only software you need though - Redshift now comes free with the software (CPU version) so we recommend using Redshift Renderer (however most renderers are very similar these days so the concepts shown in either renderer will be applicable to the other.
You can get a free trial version of Cinema 4D and Redshift here.
7am – 3pm Sunday to Thursday AEST (UTC +10). We're based in Australia.
Lifetime membership gives you access to everything on our site, all courses, all tutorials, all downloads and support, as well as the ability to request content and vote for what topics we cover next. Unlike the Monthly or Yearly membership, lifetime is yours forever so you also get unlimited access to anything we add in the future (we upload new stuff pretty much every week).
Monthly is charged Monthly from the date you joined.
Yearly is charged yearly from the date you joined.
Lifetime is charged only once and does not renew - you have access forever.
It's super rare, but yes;) We do offer refunds on Yearly and Lifetime memberships only - full details on our refunds page.
