Ever wondered how to create those professional looking motion graphics animations where things seem to move so smoothly? The key is to master the Principles of Animation, which have been used by Disney animators for nearly a century. This course is a fresh new take on these principles as they have been adopted and repurposed specifically for motion graphics designers. So instead of characters, we will be looking at how to animate 3D objects, lines and text.

In this series of tutorials, we will learn how the principles of composition can help us to become better communicators as motion designers. Often times, motion designers can overlook the importance of composition as a means of creating effective message communication.
Craft a custom animated logo while learning how to utilize the principles of animation to create the illusion of life.
- In this set of tutorials, we'll go through the process of animating three logos in After Effects. Logo animations can be difficult to create without the proper preparation in the program in which they were originally designed, so we take the first few lessons of the course to split apart the assets in Illustrator. This way, when they're imported to After Effects, we have a much easier time animating them. We learn techniques for using the Puppet tool and some of the challenges that come along with that tool. We also use expressions and sliders as well as some parenting chains to create a paper-doll-style rig. Each of the three logos present a unique challenge and have lots of different techniques to cover so that when you're faced with a logo to animate on your own, you'll be ready for anything. By the end of this course, you'll have a great understanding of the methods for animating 2D logos and what it takes to give them realistic movements. If you're serious about adding logo animations to your motion design body of work, this course is a must-watch. Software required: After Effects 12.0.2.52.

Typography is an important aspect of design. The MoText tool in Cinema 4D allows you to set good-looking type with an intuitive GUI and animate it using all the tools available in the MoGraph system. In this course, instructor Andy Needham covers kerning, tracking, use of fonts, and how to animate multi-line text. Andy begins by showing you the tools you can use to create type in Cinema 4D. He highlights MoText, because it works with the MoGraph system to enable you to animate your type easily. Andy steps through the process of setting type and adding details like bevels and materials. He concludes with all the steps and tools you need to animate your text.

If you want to become a motion graphics artist, or you already know a little bit about After Effects but you're just getting started this is the training for you.
Have you ever meditated on a piece of animation you saw on the internet and wondered, why my animation skills are far from that goodness? I did. Until I dived into the science behind good movements and started to learn the secret sauce of a well crafted animation.
