Beginner Class

Ball Bounce Exercise

Focus on animation principles, timing and spacing.

This animation assignment is a foundational exercise that every motion designer can benefit from. Animation is at the core of being a good motion designer so focusing on the craft of animation is important for students.

Beginner Class

Visual Essay Short Film

Focus on storyboarding, design & animation.

This short film is a chance to learn about every stage of production. Starting with pre-production students work
through possible visual styles and create storyboards for their film. Then they design and animate the entire
film with the help of their mentor with weekly critique and brainstorming sessions.

Intermediate Class

2d/3d Explainer Short Film

Focus on Art Direction, Animation Techniques & Process.

This assignment is designed to mirror a real-world client project. Explainer videos rest on the ability to communicate something specific in a beautiful and moving way. This project gives the opportunity to create a strong art direction with compelling animation.

These projects are representative of our previous project assignment for our intermediate mentorship. This class has been replaced by a new mentorship experience. Stimulate your creativity and create awesome portfolio pieces → Learn more

Intermediate Class

Infographics

Focus on Planning, Deconstructing Information & Pushing Visual Concepts.

This project is heavily focused on Art Direction. Students start with raw data and create 5 compositions that they then animate into a sequence. The focus here is on working from raw data and creating effective visual communications in a style that fits with your portfolio goals.

Advanced Class

Animation For A Cause - Thesis Film

Focus on Storytelling, Pre-Production & Directing.

This project is the culmination of our Mentorship Program. This is where students create their most compelling piece of work. We want students to develop original, portfolio pieces and this 9-week production is designed to deliver one.

This is a quality over quantity mindset as you direct this film while producing every aspect of it.
