SCHOOL OF MOTION, INC.
LAKEWOOD RANCH, FLORIDA

At School of Motion we’re trying to reinvent the way students learn online. How? By combing the best parts of a traditional brick-and-mortar school with technology that allows our students to live anywhere in the world and receive the best Motion Design training on the planet. Whether you’re looking for some professional development to improve your skills or looking to take the first steps on your Motion Design journey, we can help you reach your goals. Our Teaching Philosophy We’ve built a teaching philosophy that enables us to deliver an amazing, interactive experience to any students regardless of their physical location or skill level. These are the ingredients that let us do it: Our students receive incredible training material, but that’s not enough. We insist that they use their knowledge by completing real-world homework assignments which are critiqued by our hand-picked and international team of teaching-assistants. Every single exercise a student completes receives a detailed markup to help push them to the next level. Looking to improve quickly? Getting tactical feedback is how you do it. Ready to build your professional network? Every course we run brings together groups of students from all over the world who hang out in private Facebook groups to compare notes, share their experiences, and begin networking. Our alumni have access to our alumni group which includes thousands of artists from all over the world who have been through a School of Motion course and who routinely post job opportunities for each other. The motivation and connections that our community-based approach give you are invaluable and untouched by other learning platforms. I've finished the Animation Bootcamp, Design Bootcamp and Character Animation Bootcamp, and they were all fantastic. I can wholeheartedly recommend all three bootcamps, not only did they make me a much more competent animator and designer, but they also re-kindled my passion for animation and design. The lessons are fun and incredibly informative, and the teachers and TA's are very dedicated and helpful. But one of the best things is to watch your peers get better and better with each lesson and to witness the friendly atmosphere and camaraderie in the Bootcamp Facebook group. It's worth every penny. I have taken courses elsewhere and nothing has compared to the experience I've had with School of Motion Bootcamps. It's not just the tutorials that help but also how responsive and engaging the classes are. Getting to talk to other students from around the world and getting their feedback and perspective make SOM bootcamps unique. The TA's are very knowledgable and extremely helpful in their feedback. The instructor was very hands on and technically experienced. He answered questions quickly and was truly engaged in all the projects and with all the students. This experience has broaden my knowledge as a designer and animator. It was worth every penny School of Motion is an amazing education. Not only do you get the comfort of learning in your home, but you also get access to the expertise and feedback of professionals working in the industry. I've never experienced such vast improvement as quickly as I did in bootcamp. Animation Bootcamp was a career milestone for me as a motion artist. I was already working in the video industry, but through this course I was equipped in ways I couldn't have imagined. I can now take ideas that are locked away in my brain, apply these well-taught principles, and bring them to full fruition. College may have opened up this world, but School of Motion saturated it with color.
