I’m ready to learn what the big kids know! Haha.”

I want custom motion design that actually fits my personality and make me excited again.”

I’m a Motion Designer.

One of the main reasons I love this course so much is how it made learning motion design so easy—especially for someone like me who tends to get frustrated when things don’t click right away 👀. The way they taught After Effects and Cinema 4D made everything feel soooo much more digestible and intuitive. I kept thinking, “Wait, it’s actually this easy to learn?!” "Wait, I can do this?!?" — especially in the 3D Design and Animation section! Mind blown moment that's for sure. 🤯
