The Curriculum

Want to learn After Effects?

We teach all of the core and emerging tools (including AI) to make sure you're on the cutting edge of motion design. Our instructors are some of the best artists in the industry.

Don't skip this

But the software is the easy part.

The reason your work isn't landing isn't that you don't know the buttons. It's timing, taste, composition, design... the why underneath the how. That's what we actually teach. It's also the part AI can't fake.

The Full Catalog

Premium courses and workshops taught by top artists and studios in the industry.

Full courses build the foundation. Workshops are focused, project-based deep dives on a single technique or style... sometimes taught by the studios doing the work. New ones added all the time.

UX Animation & Interaction

Learn to design product motion that feels useful, polished, and shippable. Start with UX motion strategy and handoff, build the After Effects foundation for precise motion specs and polished assets, then move into Rive for stateful interactions and responsive web-ready experiences.

Why you're stuck

Every designer you admire got their work torn apart. Daily.

At a studio, a junior gets a senior leaning over their shoulder all day. Too slow. Wrong ease. Cut four frames. Hundreds of corrections a year, on their actual work. That loop is how every animator on the reels you study built their eye.

You've been trying to replace it with tutorials. But you can watch everything ever uploaded and still be missing the only thing that was ever doing the heavy lifting: someone who looks at your shot and tells you why it isn't working.

Practice without feedback is just repetition.

We built the loop.

Never learn alone

A school should feel like there are people inside it.

Ask for notes at midnight. Find collaborators. Spot job leads. Celebrate wins. Get pulled back into momentum by people who care about the same frame-by-frame details you do.
