Motion Pro
Improve your professional learning curve through unforgettable practice in which you’ll learn how to work on complex projects. You’ll explore all secret techniques in order to become a real motion pro.
Course Overview
This course will bring you to the next motion design level. We’ll cover almost all types of animation from 2D, combining it with AE expressions, to 3D, using Xpresso in Cinema 4D. All the animations will be united into complete video scenes. Moreover, we’ll share with you project files, in which we’ve used frame-by-frame animation along with modern 2D and 3D design.
You’ll get equipped for your future complex projects whether you plan to freelance or work in a studio. We’ll teach you the main principles and rules of organizing projects and creating the correct structure for them. Also, we’ll demonstrate to you custom scripts that help us get rid of some routine work and facilitate the entire process.
The course isn’t aimed at showing you the only correct way to work on projects, but its purpose is teaching you good practices and techniques to form your own unique approach to projects wherever you work.
Custom Scripts
You’ll get dozens of free custom scripts to optimize your workflow. These will be simple scripts for adjusting the stroke style or the parameters of a group of compositions and layers at once. Also, they will include more complex ones for creating advanced character limbs and parametric waves, for animating and combining a group of layers for animation based on expressions.
We’ll teach you not only how to use them, but also how to modify them so that you do not adapt to them, but they adapt to you.
Deep practice
Practicing on the example of the finished video will bring your skills to the next level. The course is created for experienced animators and motion designers. So, we won’t dwell on boring elementary things to cover the most advanced and interesting techniques instead.
Mix Your Techniques
We’ll demonstrate to you how to create animation by following a traditional approach, that is, with the help of keyframes, and a procedural approach based on expressions and mathematics. We took the whole spectrum from pure 2D, 2D stylization to 3D and vice versa, and 3D animation in After Effects and Cinema 4D Light. Also, in the course we will have a look at how to integrate animation from Cinema 4D into After Effects without intermediate rendering, and how to stylize 3D animation to our project style.
Pro Rigs
In the course, we’ll show you several options for creating animation for each style: from the simplest manual way with keyframes to complex rigs with functions and algorithmic animations, which are easy to adjust at any stage of production.
Pro Workflow
You’ll learn about a complete production pipeline of an animation project: from the beginning of project design, its development and optimization for work in 4K resolution, to final rendering.
CHAPTER ONE
What will I learn in Motion Pro course?
LESSON #1
Structure and Organization
We will start by organizing the material and thinking over the architecture of the project. Then we’ll optimize and import illustrations. After that, we’ll show you scripts that simplify the process of organizing the project.
LESSON #2
2D in After Effects
We’ll start designing the project with 2D animations of plants, fire and water. For creating such animations, we’ll use fresh and flexible techniques. Also, you’ll learn how they can be automated with the help of expressions. As a result, you’ll be able to control the animation of all layers and parameters in a few clicks.
Our students working in top companies
The lessons are great. You get what you’re looking for and a little more.
I work for Accenture and animated videos are on a daily basis. Our clients loved the few effects that I was able to learn at the course. Also, I still go back to the lessons and find something new to learn.
Great classes and I’m happy that invested in them. I definitely learned a lot of new ways of working that made me faster and better at my job.
I’ve watched some of the shorter classes and have loved them! The teaching style is fantastic and engaging ? I’ve also enjoyed seeing everyone’s work in the FB groups. Everyone seems to be excited to give helpful feedback and encouragement! I recommend your classes to my coworkers and friends all the time (am a full time sr. designer).
The Science of Character course was extremely helpful. It was easy to follow and the lessons were top notch. Your team produces high quality learning experiences that I haven’t found in other places when it comes to motion graphics. Keep up the great work!
Yes, I found the courses extremely helpful and well put together. I was researching online tutorials for my colleagues who are just beginning to learn AE and was testing out a MDS course to see if I could recommend it. I ended up learning a lot myself 🙂
