I wish the Cinema 4D class and up-to-date videos with maxon is making that impossible because he keep making so many changes in one year. So that's not even School of Motions fault. Overall good.

I've been using AE for a while now, and I had taught myself to animate through tons of tutorials and other online platforms, but this course took all my previous knowledge and made it make sense into the bigger picture that motion design is.

I enrolled for the "Illustration for motion" course. It was worth every penny as i felt growing every week in my illustration skills.

I really loved the training. The pace is good, the build of skills is plotted very well, and the provided package files are easy to use. The only trouble I had was in navigating the platform online — it took some time to learn to easily navigate to the various spots and the interface for viewing lessons and exercises was a little clunky for me.

I live in a country where I have no family members, or friends working in the motion design industry. So I was totally blank when I tried to start out. But I wanted to break the barrier and learn motion design. So I was eagerly searching on the internet for resources. Luckily, I found the School of Motion which gave me the right training, guides, and a great community. Now I am in the run of making my first demo reel, getting out my website, and applying for an internship. And hopefully, I will have School of motion and its amazing people along my way.

School of Motion has been fantastic for developing technical skills. Sometimes the videos drag on a bit because you're watching Nol build something in realtime but I definitely learned a lot. I really like that they provide pdf files and that you can annotate the videos in case you want to return to a particular section.

This was VERY informative, easy to follow, and a LOT of information that helped me gain confidence in motion design! Highly recommend taking any and all SoM classes!!!

The most important insight first: The way I look at animation and how I create it has fundamentally changed. The individual lessons build on each other in a meaningful way and are excellently supplemented by podcasts. I also find the teaching assistants' critique of each homework assignment, published as a video, useful, as it gives you another deeper insight into what you've just created. But I also found that depending on the teaching assistant, the criticism was more or less good. I would have liked some lecturers to deal with the animation a little more deeply and thus also express a more profound criticism. Instead, in my opinion, compliments were given too often so as not to demotivate the students. I don't think it's wrong to compliment, but in order to really improve, the teaching assistants should take a little more time to point out in detail what is going badly and what is going well. Nonetheless: Great school, I will come back!
