Why Take This Course?
It's the rare website, app, web video, or VR experience that doesn't put graphics into motion for a more compelling experience. While you might think good design is good design, applying your talents to a medium that moves and revolves around a timeline is a different ballgame than you might be used to. Fortunately, it’s all learnable. All you have to do is get moving.

Course Description
In this two-part workshop, we’ll combine demonstration, and a lot of hands-on practice, as we cover these topics:

  • Basic principles of motion design

  • Storyboarding your motion graphics projects

  • Keyframes, interpolation, and timing

  • Stop motion, cell animation, and other types of animation

  • Producing your animation in Adobe After Effects

  • Tools and resources to dig deeper

Prerequisites and Requirements
You must have basic visual design skills, and must have either a trial or full version of Adobe After Effects. Some familiarity with After Effects is desirable. SVC also recommends that you have a dual monitor set-up to take this class.
