What is motion design anyway?That slick intro before the movie starts. The explainer video on YouTube. The best posts on Instagram and the eye-popping TV ads. When you realise motion design is everywhere, you get why it’s an important, powerful skill you should learn.

Combining graphic design, illustration, filmmaking animation and storytelling; if you have experience or passion in any of these, you’re ready to start your motion design journey with us.

How does it work?Online

This course is online so you can learn anywhere, anytime*. If you work full time or live in Antarctica - neither will be an issue (so long as you have Wifi!)

You’ll gain access to a virtual platform chock full of lessons, videos, tasks and resources you can enjoy on a desktop or at 3am on your phone in bed.

*We recommend spending 10-15 hours a week on the course to get the most out of it.

CommunityWhen you enrol, you join a family of like-minded creatives. You’ll forge strong friendships and professional bonds, keeping each other motivated and inspired. What’s more, you’ll never feel disconnected. The conversation (and exchanging of GIFs) never stops on Slack, our communication platform of choice.

What do I need?If you’re pretty comfortable using Adobe PhotoShop, InDesign and Illustrator, but have never opened up After Effects or Cinema 4D, you’ve come to the right place.

Or, maybe you’ve played around with After Effects or Cinema 4D, teaching yourself with YouTube and the like. You wouldn’t call yourself an expert, but you ain’t too shabby and you’re hungry to go from OK to great. Motion Design Foundation will benefit you massively too.

You’ll need to provide your own device and software during the course, including Adobe PhotoShop, InDesign, Illustrator and After Effects.

We’ve got you covered for Cinema 4D with a free 6 month license from Block 3!
