School of Motion

Learn to Design and Animate for any medium.
Every screen in the world has content on it, and if that content moves you can bet that a Motion Designer was involved. At School of Motion our mission is to empower our students to hone their skills, grow their networks, and gain the knowledge they need to have a successful career in the field. And we do all of this through a unique blend of amazing content, an engaged community, and a staff of instructors and teaching-assistants who stand at the ready to critique your work.

What is Motion Design?
Motion Design (or Motion Graphics) is the blending of Graphic Design and Animation. It encompasses a range of styles and techniques, 2D animation, 3D animation, stop-motion, visual effects, and more. Motion Designers create content for film title sequences, cable network branding packages, explainer videos, app UI / UX prototyping and many other mediums. Our goal is to prepare you for a career in Motion Design, no matter what kind of work you want to do.

A different breed of online training.
At School of Motion we’re trying to reinvent the way students learn online. How? By combing the best parts of a traditional brick-and-mortar school with technology that allows our students to live anywhere in the world and receive the best Motion Design training on the planet. Whether you’re looking for some professional development to improve your skills or looking to take the first steps on your Motion Design journey, we can help you reach your goals.

Our Teaching Philosophy
We’ve built a teaching philosophy that enables us to deliver an amazing, interactive experience to any students regardless of their physical location or skill level. These are the ingredients that let us do it:

Best-in-class Content
We devote an enormous amount of time and resources into finding and recruiting the best trainers we can find to teach our classes. We spend months planning, producing, and refining them. We beta test our courses and tweak based on real student feedback. We constantly refine our lessons and make sure that we don’t release anything unless it’s the best it can be.

In-depth Critique
Our students receive incredible training material, but that’s not enough. We insist that they use their knowledge by completing real-world homework assignments which are critiqued by our hand-picked and international team of teaching-assistants. Every single exercise a student completes receives a detailed markup to help push them to the next level. Looking to improve quickly? Getting tactical feedback is how you do it.

A welcoming Community
Ready to build your professional network? Every course we run brings together groups of students from all over the world who hang out in private Facebook groups to compare notes, share their experiences, and begin networking. Our alumni have access to our alumni group which includes thousands of artists from all over the world who have been through a School of Motion course and who routinely post job opportunities for each other. The motivation and connections that our community-based approach give you are invaluable and untouched by other learning platforms.
