Did you manage to spot the special guest in this video? 🐈

I'm a big proponent of NOT going to college for a motion graphics/vfx career path. I went to an art school around 2004 JUST when online tutorials and online schools were starting, and I learned so much more online than from any of my teachers (and gained a lot of debt in the process). Sure, the structure and social aspect of college can be beneficial, but online schools and courses in 2024 will really expedite your learning IMO. Just as long as you have good work ethic. But lets be honest, if you don't have dedication when it comes to being an artist/designer, maybe you don't really want to be an artist/designer after all? my 2 cents. Great content as usual.

Thank you Alexi! I 100% agree. Work ethic will always take priority too. I think the journey and social aspect was definitely a great thing to experience, but like you say, learning much more online is such a viable option. Now there’s a debt free way to get some incredible skills. I see people much younger doing great work now and can only imagine how much better they will get. It’s opened up the field for everyone now, rather than being those who can afford a degree.

Thank you, your advice is priceless

Thank you for watching, glad it helped!

Thanks for this video, can you guide what basic steps one should follow to become a motion designer. In after effects what basics should one know or any worksheet. this is a huge field.

So many great points and insights in your video! I just recently graduated from University from a Media and Film program, and I am starting to relearn motion design. I've started to realize, like what you said, that most jobs in the field of motion design hire people based on how good they are at motion design and their personality as well. I agree watching tutorials has a limit to how much knowledge it can help the viewers progress; I found, just like what you said, that continued practice and personal projects help a lot. Great video! I wish you all the best with your channel!

How do I apply the motion graphics to a website?

I’d say still in demand, in both regards. The industry does seem to have slowed a little but there are jobs available as far as I’m aware.

Can really recommend Cavalry and Figma as well.

I’ve been meaning to give Cavalry another go, I tried it quite a while back! Always software to be learning and making the time for it 😅 I thought Figma was more for UI/UX design? Never considered it an option for motion graphics!
