David Haimoff
I'm a motion designer, character designer and video editor.
I have been doing motion graphics for myself, my clients, and my YouTube subscribers for over two years now.
Recently I have decided to extend my knowledge to character animation, and found out that without design skills, I won't be able to get too far.
So here I am now sharing my knowledge with the world.
My approach is to take knowledge that I have acquired over the years, and share it with those who are passionate about the world of video graphics as much as I am.
My goal is to make all of students satisfied, and pleased with my lessons.
Cheers
David
