School of Motion is the premier online motion design and animation training platform, founded by Joey Korenman — a veteran motion designer with 15+ years of industry experience and a passionate educator. The platform is dual-certified by both Adobe and Maxon as an official Training Center, a distinction held by very few online schools. With courses taught by industry legends like EJ Hassenfratz (multi-Emmy winner), Eran Stern (After Effects icon), and other top professionals, School of Motion has become the go-to destination for anyone serious about a career in motion graphics.

Why This Platform Stands Out

School of Motion is not just video tutorials — every cohort-based course includes personalized critique and feedback from a professional motion designer on your actual work. This feedback loop is what separates School of Motion from YouTube tutorials or passive Udemy courses. The platform also provides 24/7 access to a vibrant community of thousands of motion designers via a private Slack-like platform. Alumni work at studios like Buck, Gunner, Giant Ant, and companies like Apple, Google, and Netflix. The courses are structured with weekly assignments that build a portfolio-ready project by completion. The All-Access membership provides unlimited access to the entire course catalog, making it exceptional value for serious learners.

Who It Is For

Graphic designers wanting to add motion to their skill set, video editors transitioning to motion graphics, aspiring motion designers starting from scratch, working motion designers wanting to level up specific skills (3D, character animation, expressions), UX/UI designers adding animation skills, and content creators wanting professional-quality animated content. Courses range from beginner to advanced, with clear prerequisites listed.

Career Outcomes

The motion design industry is growing rapidly with demand from tech companies, streaming platforms, advertising agencies, and social media.
