Jen Rizzo - Cinema 4D Beginners Guide

I am constantly amazed by the unshakeable support system I have developed over the last decade of my life, and I am deeply grateful to the following people:

To my mother, without whom my entire career would not be possible. The path of my life continues to surprise and delight me every day and no one has been more integral in that than you. Thank you for never once making me wonder if you were proud of me.

To both my fathers, for loving and supporting me as strongly as they possibly could in their very different ways.

To Susan, whose support and enthusiasm for this project from the very first moment was what got me excited about writing this year.

To Jeff, who is responsible for showing me how to fall in love with this city, and to Michelle who continues to help me eat my way across it. If I could acknowledge you two with a corgi,I promise I would.

To Patrick, whose constant support for me and whatever new scheme I've dreamed up that day never fails. You kept me going this year when I wasn't sure how to and I'll never be able to thank you properly. To Akima for your wisdom and insight - I am blown away by your energy to help the people you love and grateful that I get to be a part of it. To Denman, the undisputed king of puns - your thoughtful approach to everything you do is overwhelming and I love it.

To Jesse for somehow always knowing the right thing to share to inspire me and to Elianna for far too many dinnertime giggles - the way you two have forged your own path blows me away. To Jaleen for being my constant parallel - I'll never understand it, but I am so grateful for it. To Justin, whose love and support is always just a few feet away.

To Justin, Andrew N., Katie K., Harley, Laurence, Drue, Paul, Diane, Kyle, Michelle L., Tom, Carla, Amy B., Tom, and David. Thank you for your friendship, your support, and your inspiration over the last few years.

To John, Cathy, Ian, Matt, Andrew, Kurt, Ben, and all the members of DD08 - thank you for letting me learn from you.

To Nathan, Lars, both Seans and Kathleen thank you for still being so very present in my life after all these years.

To my many brilliant co-workers over the years, who are responsible for everything I know. Thank you for every time you let me look over your shoulder or schemed up a new technique with me. Matt and Sean, you have my sincere appreciation for your technical contributions.

To Dan Weaver, who believed in a 21-year-old me and pushed me into a career I didn't even know I wanted. Thank you for never making me feel stupid, and for taking the time to answer my never-ending stream of questions.

And finally, a special thank you to Harry, my right hand and favorite partner in crime. Thank you for being my daily sounding board and most significant inspiration. The world has simply never felt more possible than it does with you.
