Motion Design SchoolReviews of motiondesign.school

I am currently working through Ben Marriots Motion Practice course and I love it. It's really well explained and structured. However previous to this course I took the character party maker course. The course as a whole felt extremely rushed. In terms of explanation it was just "I do this, and then I do this" with no explanation as to why. I also am not sure if the voiceover was recorded during or after because there was barely any pause for air and any pause to take anything in. The course tutor clearly knows his stuff and the things he creates blew me away. I just think in terms of explanation, the course lacked substance.

I like the way the course is organized. but the cost is too high for an online course.. and I was expecting to see how the intro animation was done (the one with a cube the turns into different objects) and get instructions to replicate it in a final project.

Wish the Marvelous Designer section was more complete. The other clothing is actually done in Zbrush not Marvelous Designer. The Substance Painter section is something new I learned and enjoyed. The rendering is in Blender and is okay. There is no rigging the model and making it dance like in the trailer sadly. Looking forward to the next course Science of Character Animation by Markus Magnusson!

There is a lot of great content and ways to improve your workflow. I wouldn't call this a true beginner course, even though it starts at the very beginning. The pacing of the videos is pretty challenging, I had to start and stop frequently. Keeping your place in the video, while following in AE is hard, and even at .5 speed I struggled to keep a useful pacing. I think cutting the videos into smaller chunks, or having the teacher speak much slower would be really helpful.

Difficult to follow. For experienced people.
