What is Mind + Motion?
Mind + Motion is an interactive workshop. Learn C4D and Redshift with 100+ Video Lessons, practical and fun Projects, Resources, and Podcasts. Not only that, but we'll also go beyond the skills and dive into the mental health impact of being a creative.
You'll be creating your own renders and animations and building a portfolio you can be proud of as you go beyond building a strong foundation and understanding of both Cinema 4D and Redshift Render Engine. You'll also have access to exclusive interviews with industry experts. In these interviews, we'll chat about topics like imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and other mental health issues.
Hi, I'm Derek, aka Effectatron
I'll be your Instructor throughout the course. I have 15+ years of experience in Video Production from filming, editing, motion graphics and visual effects. I love 3D because it encompasses all the aspects of video production that I loved... but let's me do them from my desk!
Who is this Workshop For?
The content was designed with beginners in mind. New users of C4D and/or Redshift will be able to follow along and build a strong understanding of fundamentals one skill at a time. Even if you've literally never opened C4D, you can take this workshop. (It'd be a lot at first, but you could do it!)
That being said, you don't have to be a total newbie to benefit from the class. With technology changing all the time, this is the most up-to-date C4D/Redshift class available (C4D 2023/2024 and Redshift 3.5+). Although we start with the basics, we build on those skills quickly, and each project is customizable to your own skill level. If you're a creator wanting to up your render game, this course will get you there.
You know when you see amazing work on social media and you think, "I hope I can do that one day?" Let me help you become comfortable and confident enough to turn that into, "I think I can do that!"

"I just completed this wonderful course. It was absolutely fantastic and a lot of fun! Since I had just started studying C4D, I was looking for a course that would teach C4D systematically, but I had trouble finding one for the latest version. That's when I came across your course. I was a bit worried because I don't speak English, but after trying out your YouTube tutorials, I thought I could manage, so I enrolled in this course. It turned out to be the perfect choice! I learned things that were several levels higher than I had expected, and it was incredibly enjoyable, so I am very satisfied. Thank you for this amazing course!"

"Derek's Mind in Motion class is one of the most comprehensive C4D classes available right now, and his easy going, fun classes keep it fun and fast. I've learned so much and find myself visiting the lessons over and over again whenever I need to solve a problem I can't figure out. It's great for beginners but there's a lot of advanced techniques and workflows throughout as well. I can't recommend the class enough, and I also love the community of artists on his Discord, there are a lot of friendly and helpful people there to chat with..."

"I love how the videos feel experimental. It's not a rigid step by step format. I feel like I'm trying to problem solve with the instructor as he tries to figure out what works and what doesn't" - Anonymous
"I appreciate that you showed the process, not just follow by numbers. Also the opportunity to make the projects our own, not just copying but learning process." - Chuck A.
"Great to learn from Derek! It was a lot of content but I feel like Derek covered it all. I wanted to be shown all of Redshift and I'm better for it now. What a great workshop! Derek is a great teacher. He excels at helping out the students understand the process and Redshift world at it's fullest extent!" - Damien (Dragon)
