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 le... See more

I definitely improved over the 3 months while taking this course even though I wasn't able to fully take advantage of everything. There's many ways to learn about a topic and go very in-depth. My TA o... See more

Good content, needs to be more intense

I learned some very valuable information. I feel like it could have been more intense. I think School of Motion should look into diversity among their teachers. Overall it was a good experience and I will be taking more classes at SOM.

Thank you

Thank you, School of Motion:
> For the insightful lessons - Joey Korenman, you da best!
> For giving me the vocabulary to explain motion animation
> For the CONFIDENCE to even open AE again
> For letting me meet all these wonderful people: the TAs and people who are on the same path of growth as I. Didn't think the community would be this helpful to learning, but for sure, that ball would've never bounced without the TAs and SQUARE. You guys are awesome.

This course exceeded my expectations

This course exceeded my expectations. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to take their motion design / animation skills to the next level. The lessons are insightful, the homework / projects are well thought out and the online community is an exciting thing to be a part of.

Fantastic Curriculum

School of Motion has a well-structured curriculum. I completed the After Effects Kickstart course. I came into AEK knowing some things about after effects. But every week, in every lecture, and every assignment I learned things I didn't know. I re-learned things I had an understanding of but with more context on why things work the way they do or a new way to think about those things. The assignments were great ways to put into practice what we learned in the lectures and helped establish a good workflow habit. The course was rigorous and demanding, but in a good way. It pushes you to get out of your comfort zone and pushes your brain cells to intake as much knowledge as possible.
I had a blast and will be taking many more courses in the near future.

Great content!

The amount of content is massive. I learned so much! I will, likely be going back again and again to soak up more!

Dig them :)

SOMO is one of the best online animation and motion design schools that I know and have had the privilege of enrolling with. I have now done a few of their courses and can highly recommend each and every one! They are certainly worth every cent :) Thanks again for an awesome experience!

I'm very satisfied with my experience…

I'm very satisfied with my experience with the After Effect Kickstarter course. The lessons were thought out in a fun way to learn quite a lot of content for such a short time. I wish I wasn't working at the same time I was taking the course so I could train and explore more, but I feel like I achieved my goal of learning not just the basics but quite a lot of how the software works.

After Effects Kickstart: a great way to gain an understanding of motion graphics.

The content of the After Effects Kickstart course was thorough and there was plenty of it. I wouldn't say it was hard work as such, but you have to be prepared to put the hours in to reap the rewards. There was plenty of learning material to get through, including lessons, PDFs and podcasts and I definitely had a much better understanding of both motion graphics and After Effects upon completion of the course.

It was a brain-melting experience …

It was a brain-melting experience … in a good way! So much information that was given in digestible chunks. I had 4 pages of notes from the extra non-homework videos alone. The podcasts were another good piece of the puzzle that allowed some 'down time' to work and listen. The only thing I might change would be the assignments. While necessary, it was difficult (for me …with a full-time job and family) to really put in the time to flesh them out. Long nights were spent. :D

All said, it was excellent and I'll go to School of Motion again for my next training!

School of Motion looks awesome from the outside (YouTube and other social) but that doesn't begin to scratch the surface! This course was amazing: I am now an incredibly better animator, more confident, and hired.
I not only recommend School of Motion, but I will be taking more courses with them.
