Interview with Sandro Cleuzo – an Awarded Character Designer and Storyboard Artist

Animation Desk was created with the goal of providing a handy tool for people of all ages to create their first animation. As this 2D frame animation app has become more popular, we have begun to receive questions about the animation industry, specifically about what animation technical skills are needed and what jobs there are to strive for in the industry.

In response to these questions, we thought it would be a great idea to get in contact with animation professionals with real industry experience to help quench our users’ thirst for knowledge.

This led to us reaching out to Sandro Cleuzo on Instagram. Even as a busy professional animator with tons of experience and prestige under his belt, Sandro graciously took the time to join us for an “Ask Me Anything” session. This interview allowed us to gain more insight into his experience as a character designer, animator, and storyboard artist.

Learning To Become a Better Version of Yourself: Digital Learning Platforms and Software

The trend of online learning is coming. You may easily grab knowledge with lower cost and more flexibility. Today, we invite four Kdan Mobile employees to share their learning experiences and powerful tools.

With the development of online learning platforms and software services, the cost of self-advancement, or independent learning, has been greatly reduced. With online tools and apps, such as calculator online that provide a wide range of creative tools, your creativity can be greatly enhanced. Whether it is the individual study of languages, musical instruments, art forms, and more, the content choices are more diverse than ever. Such a trend also reflects the fact that learning is no longer done just for the sake of getting a job or a diploma but is also a process of self-exploration and self-realization.

In conjunction with Kdan Mobile’s back-to-school theme “Unleash Your Inner Talent,” beginning on August 15th, we invited four Kdan Mobile employees to share their feedback of learning, digital learning strategies, and pocket lists of digital learning tools. Whether o missing those college days or still live that campus life, we hope you can re-discover the fun and passion of learning through their stories.
