About this course

Learn at your own pace, any time, any place!

In this flexible online course, you will gain the fundamental skills required to create a modern aesthetically pleasing 3D motion graphics animation.

You’ll learn the process from start to finish, starting with mind-mapping, concepts and storyboards, before jumping into production and creating your 3D motion graphics animation within After Effects, using the new Cinema 4D renderer. Along the way, you’ll also learn some best practices for working within the industry, along with tips and tricks for speeding up workflow.

There will be tasks to complete throughout the course, but don’t worry – your lecturer will be at hand to help and advise if needed via the comments section.

By the end of the course, you will have learned the skills required for creating your own motion graphics animations from start to finish, and you’ll have a good understanding of the workflow.

What will I learn?

Creating concepts and storyboards ready for client approval

The basics of using Adobe Illustrator and/or Photoshop to create your 2D graphics.
