#GoldenCoins comes in this glory Monday to shake a little bit of your life.

Today we talk about our precious James Brelaz, the Motion Designer that always has a hidden trick and know all the questions we may have about anything. (specially softwares!)

Brelax, Breláz, Brêlaz. How long are you here at Cafundó and what are the usual roles you take in every job?
I’m in the studio for about two years and a half, and my role is usually animation 2d / 3d and mainly post productio and finalizing videos for TV and Internet. I have also participated in various projects for web platforms, involving product modeling and animation tool for web.

How did you discovered you wanted to work with CG, and how long do you work with it?
I work with computer graphics for almost a decade. I started treating digital photos, working with my father who is a professional photographer, but I realized that those photos could not come to life and move inside Photoshop. So I decided to learn After Effects to create animated graphics, since then, I studied several tutorials and online courses to learn various techniques of motion and vfx. As already animated graphics in 2d, soon became interested in breaking into the 3rd dimension, learning 3D software, where I could expand my creative possibilities.

What are the inside Jobs you most enjoyed making??
I have attended several interesting projects, and each one I always brought me new technical and conceptual knwoledge.

Some as a team member and others solving it alone, such as the video made for Telefonica technology to provide data transmission. As a team, really enjoyed doing animation 2D motion for Google , which was a great challenge to animate 5 videos about online marketing services from Google.

The Mormaii 3.0 job was also interesting because both joined the staff focused on web development and staff focused on video. My main role was to create the animation for the intro tutorial teaching you how to customize the glasses Mormaii in direct interactive platform created by Cafundó

Outside the studio, you have made a lot of Freelancing. What are the ones you most enjoyed?

As a freelances, I’ve made some jobs for Lacta, Clube Social, Tic Tac andDiageo.

But one of the most fun was creating 2D animation for Emotion.me Pro , a marketing tool Online for weddings. In this job, I received a briefing from the client, and so I myself created the script for the video, storyboars, concepts and animated everything and still did SFX.

Do you have any side-project in mind?

I have several personal projects in my mind, most of them involving online marketing is for sales of digital products. I’m also planning to create my new Reel motion design, my útimo was in 2010 and, since then has evolved quite my skills and have accumulated many quality jobs for the Reel.
