Course Overview
The curated training program will cover all motion design aspects and teach you how to think creatively when doing unusual tasks.
The main problem every motion designer has is learning how to find the knowledge and tools to perform specific tasks. When it comes to practice, everyone is struggling. There is something more than skills and techniques when it comes to performing actual tasks. That’s why you need personal assistance from a pro. We will cover digital animation, frame by frame, and 3D.
Another important thing is creative thinking. It’s a must-have skill when it comes to motion design and animation. We will train your brain so you can combine all your knowledge to create a brilliant piece of art that will become NFT in the end and will be owned by You.
Exclusive After Effects Tools + Creative Thinking + Personal Feedback will change how you’re animating forever!

Feedback from our students
Elys Muda
Yes, I found the courses extremely helpful and well put together. I was researching online tutorials for my colleagues who are just beginning to learn AE and was testing out a MDS course to see if I could recommend it. I ended up learning a lot myself 🙂
Katarzyna Wisniewska
I work for Accenture and animated videos are on a daily basis. Our clients loved the few effects that I was able to learn at the course. Also, I still go back to the lessons and find something new to learn.
Matthew McDonald
The Science of Character course was extremely helpful. It was easy to follow and the lessons were top notch. Your team produces high quality learning experiences that I haven’t found in other places when it comes to motion graphics. Keep up the great work!

The lessons are great. You get what you’re looking for and a little more.
