I've liked Motion Design School's courses before, so this was a real disappointment. The software's logic isn't clearly explained, it relies heavily on a 'paint by numbers' approach, and because the... See more

Great for Self Paced Learners

I took two courses at Motion Design School, Expression Trip and Motion Tricks before this review. After a 3-year gap since taking a few classes of Expression Trip, I was happy to return to MDS and found that both courses were incredibly helpful in furthering my motion design career. The courses were informative, engaging, and included helpful plugins to streamline my workflow. I highly recommend Motion Design School to anyone looking to improve their motion design skills.

My experience with 3d Generalist Course

I really love creating 2d character animations but didn't have a complete understanding of the whole workflow in 3d. So I got a 3d Generalist Course (which isn't my first by these guys) and dive into it. I'll be honest, this wasn't easy and there were lots of struggles, but this is how learning should look like - you shouldn't constantly be in comfort, as this is the only way to master something. The course is very detailed and explains pretty much everything needed to create high-complexity character 3d animation. I also found lots of useful tips for other purposes in 3d. I'm more than happy about the time spend on this journey and highly recommend courses by these guys.

Get into 3D with Lucas Zanotto is amazing for those who want to get started with 3D.
It certainly improved the quality of my renders and my way of thinking when animating a project.
And it's really cool to be able to achieve such incredible results with basic shapes :)

I have passed a lot of motion design courses from different schools but MDS is the best school ever!
In “motion beast 2” I learned a lot of new technics, got great feedback to rise up my skills, met super cool community and really pro teachers (Iaroslav and Denis).
I really enjoyed MB2 course and bought Motion Tricks to continue amazing experience with MDS!

The best course I have done so far

Very thorough and in detail explained steps of how to create a certain motion. Love the scripts that help make quick changes. It is easy to follow but you certanly have to be focused to what you are doing and trying to learn.

Fastest and most efficient animation tutorial on the internet!

Hello,
I took the free tutorial by Laroslav on Fundamentals on After Effects and it is a wonderfully designed course. It helped me to get to the basics of animation in no time and I was able to apply some of these effects to my own project. I will share my work with you all soon to share my appreciation more. Thank you for such a detailed course and the way you explain it is very systematic and easy to follow.

I had a great experience with customer service care! I want to thank and congratulate them here.

I am very careful when buying online from the moment I had a bad experience with an unhonest shop. That means that I check very carefully the return policy and I was having some doubts about Motion Design School because I came to trust pilot to check the reviews. Specially bacause their courses aren't cheap. So I asked a lot of questions ( yes, basically being a pain in the a** for customer service). But they where lovely.

I bought a course, full price. I tried it out but sadly it was too advanced for me, even though I didn't think it was at the beggining. I was sad because seing their work I though I finally found the online motion design courses that I dreamt of ! So I asked for a refund instead of changing it for a different course ( it's a nice option they give) because I wanted to take the time to reflect if I would put my money with them again and if so, with which course. The customer service was so lovely, they gave the return inmediatly and were very attentive to my feedback and my opinion on how to improve it. So I feel like I am safe to buy another course and I am impatiently waiting for an upgrade of that course and I'll be the first in line to buy it when it's there!!

Thank you again to the customer service!
Sadly I can't give any names but they did a great work that improves our trust in this school.

Motion Beast 2

I have taken more than one course from MDS and I will say that it is a unique school that raises the skill to the next level. Yes, I sometimes had to look up things I didn't understand on google, youtube, but it's learning. To take the courses sometimes you need to know the programs at basic elementary levels, so it is easier to understand the material. I recommend this school to my friends who are just starting their way in motion design.

I've done the Introduction to After Effects as a freebie and purchased the Motion Beast course which I calculated was for the newbies, as I am. And It's just great! The home work is challenging but manageable right from the start. The school encourages you to share your work with the community and the feedback you get is very rewarding and keeps you motivated! Kudos you guys on great courses! I don't regret buying the course, as I see myself progress, even starting with the first lesson.

This is an amazing course

This is an amazing course, Iand I've learnt a lot and improved my skills in sculpting, 3d texturing, hair grooming and with clothing, however, i do recommend it for intermediate or advance 3d artist, begginer could just got stuck and get frustrated. This is a course to do it with patience and love, without rushing, so you may also appreciate the process of seeing results emerge one at a time.

Frame-by-Frame Ninja COURSE BY ELIAS VELHO

Really love the course. Back then I was looking for a frame-by-frame animated course and founded Frame-by-Frame Ninja. I enroll and made all the courses 2 times. The first time was only to listen and grasp the content and the second time was to make my personal project. The course is a little bit short but covers all the things you need to know about frame-by-frame animation. Thanks to the discord channel, I was able to talk with Elias to have feedback on my journey to make my personal project.

Thanks Motion Design School

Beyond expectations

My journey as a motion designer started from Motion Design School and that was the day when I realised I will be doing animation for the rest of my life. I took several courses in the school and all of them were beyond my expectations and far better then what I tried on the market before. My absolute favourite are Motion Beast, Motion Pro and Frame-by-frame Ninja. I must admit that most of the courses are hardcore(f.e. Expressions) but well prepared and absolutely worth the money. Besides, they developed great scripts that eased my life a lot, especially when you have tough deadlines. So I’d give MDS 10/10☺️
