It was just more Legos, more Legos, more Legos, and I still have that entire collection today. But growing up when other kids would get ninja turtle action figures, I would get Legos. Well, there's actually a couple of different phases.
So I thought I'd start by just asking you about your childhood, as cliche as that is. And I'm always curious when I meet people like that who have an ability to connect things that are far apart in your brain and make something new out of it, where that comes from.

You to me were always the Andrew Kramer of Cinema 4D because you had this ability to take this really complex software with a million different parts to it and you would combine the parts in these really clever ways to make things possible that didn't seem possible before. And I'm going to pay you a huge compliment now. But one of the things that always struck me about you is you. Everyone who's been on is like questioning, "Am I one of the amazing ones or not?" So as I mentioned, I, like I'm pretty sure most people who learned Cinema 4D around the time I did, learned a lot of it from you and from Nick at Grayscale and I want to get into that. I'm very proud to be among the lineup of amazing people that you've had on this podcast.Īmazing and not so amazing.
And we were talking really briefly before recording and I have to say every time I hear your voice, it just brings me back to before I actually had met you and knew you because I listened to hours of you teaching me Cinema 4D before I ever met you. Dude, it's amazing to have you on the podcast. My name is Chris Gibson and I'm a School of Motion graduate.Ĭhris Schmidt. School of Motion changed my career and put it down a path that I'd always hoped it would go. These courses are for anybody who wishes to make a living in the motion graphics industry. I started with animation bootcamp and it was just insane how much my skill increased during that one course. I've been doing freelance motion design for almost four years before I took any school of motion courses. I never had any formal training in animation or even after effects. My name is Chris Gibson and I'm from Jacksonville, Florida. So buckle up, here comes Chris Schmidt right after we hear from one of our incredible alumni. His philosophies on developing skills, developing a business and cultivating a community are super useful to anyone in this field. In this chat, Chris talks about how he ended up at Greyscalegorilla, how he approaches learning complex software like Cinema 4D, and what he's doing now with his own company, Rocket Lasso. Some of his tutorials were instant classics and helped me and many other artists learn our way around Cinema 4D before there were the million and one learning choices that you now have. Chris was one half of the wacky Greyscalegorilla team back in the very early days of the site and quickly gained a reputation for his MacGyver-like ability to rig things up in the most clever ways imaginable. If you're a Cinema 4D user, there's a really good chance that you have learned a thing or two or 10,000 from Chris Schmidt. Today we've got a pretty amazing episode for you, featuring a guy that I've been a fan of for many, many years. That fills in this gap in my knowledge," instead of it just being this pile and stream of information. But this other setting, I'm not sure what that does." And then when the person in the video tutorial says what it does, you're like, "Oh, okay. But if you've already tinkered and you're like, "Okay, I already kind of figured out what that did. You're just like, "Okay," you're watching their mouse and you try and keep up with what they're doing. If you just watch a tutorial on something new, you don't have a context. I have now familiarized myself with the interface. Come for the Mograph, stay for the puns.Īt that point, okay.
