Motion Practice with Ben Marriott
What is this course about?
Do you want to find your own style and create truly unique works? The best way to achieve this is by combining various techniques and tools! In this practical course merging traditional frame-by-frame animation and After Effects, we're going to create 6 animated projects. Each project is focused on a different technique integrating frame-by-frame animation into your workflow. We will be taking a deep-dive into every step of the process, explaining all the decision-making that goes into merging these 2 different methods together. By combining the best elements of both worlds you will bring unique creatures to life focusing on the process and workflow.

They are one of the largest dedicated motion-design education brands online, with a multi-thousand-student community.
The CourseFlix listing carries twelve Motion Design School courses spanning character animation, After Effects scripting, 3D for motion designers, and the production craft around generating broadcast-quality motion-design work. Material is paid and aimed at designers and motion artists building professional-grade animation skills rather than dabbling in basic After Effects edits.
