I’ve had a really good experience with School of Motion’s customer service. Their team is professional, responsive, and actually helpful when you need support. What I appreciate most is that they don’t just sell courses and disappear — they really try to help students throughout the learning process. The feedback system, teaching assistants, and overall communication make the experience feel much more personal compared to many other online learning platforms. Definitely one of the best online learning experiences I’ve had.

I've taken two courses with SOM - in 2020 and 2021 - Animation Bootcamp and Illustration for Motion. The courses are pricey but paying in 3 installations helped with that. And they're worth it - at least the GUIDED courses. Being in the online classroom environment, even if it was just in my head, was useful for pushing myself, unlike the Self-paced courses. The peer pressure was real. :D And wanting to be spotlighted in the Wednesday sessions gave me an extra sense of achievement. Doing the weekly homework is a great way to get confident and feel more competent at motion design. Definitely recommended.

I completed the Advanced Motion Methods course in June 2024. It was totally worth it! It completely transformed my understanding of motion design. There are many things to consider when starting a project, and Sanders shares all his secrets and tips. You literally see him making an animation from the first stage to the last one! Amazing! I also appreciated the support from all the TAs and the people on the SQR whenever I had a doubt.

Great experience getting real time feedback!

The School of Motion is the best school to teach you basics but also advanced techniques used in animation. Constant support from teachers and the community is great! What is very important from my personal standpoint is that I feel more confident in using the software (After Effect) right, as everything was quite clear and friendly presented during all the classes and exercises. I would highly recommend taking any class with the SOM.

This was an intense but jam-packed course. Highly recommend. Not for the casual student.

I really enjoyed the class curriculum SOM provided. Granted I have a background in motion graphics, I still learned quite a bit and gained a bunch of skills to take with me in my career. The online experience was seamless, despite not being in class in-person, didn’t seem to affect the learning experience. Melissa was a top notch teacher aid who provided the right amount of support, nurturing, and criticism required for growth. In the future I would really enjoy taking more courses. Thanks so much to Mark and all responsible for making this a rewarding experience.

The method of teaching and pacing is really good and the types of project will really immerse the student to the basics of After Effects.
