Course Сurriculum
Lesson 1 — After Effects Basics
In this lesson, you will get familiar with After Effects Interface and Shape Layers structure and, of course, create your first animation. By the end of the course, you will make a fish jump! Seems easy, isn't it?
Lesson 2 — Background Elements
By the end of this lesson, you will animate the whole bunch of branches, leaves, and bushes. And look, that fish is already jumping out of the water! Oh wait, the stars are flickering too and some of them are even falling. It already looks promising.
Lesson 3 — Main Objects
Here you will literally play with fire and make characters alive. We will cover the principles on the right guy with a guitar, and you can do whatever you want with others.
Lesson 4 — Stylization
The last step of animation would be to add some textures and glows, and voilà! Our animation is ready.
Lesson 5 — Render & GIF Optimization
Now, what's cool about making something you can't share, right? We've added a tutorial on how you can export this animation into GIF to share it with the whole world.
Bonus — Optimize Your Workflow with Motion Tools
And in our bonus lecture for more advanced users, we will explain in-depth what you can achieve with our Motion Tools plugin that you will receive for free. It will save you tons of time in your future motion journey.

Yes, I found the courses extremely helpful and well put together. I was researching online tutorials for my colleagues who are just beginning to learn AE and was testing out a MDS course to see if I could recommend it. I ended up learning a lot myself :)
Matthew McDonald
The Science of Character course was extremely helpful. It was easy to follow and the lessons were top notch. Your team produces high quality learning experiences that I haven’t found in other places when it comes to motion graphics. Keep up the great work!

I’ve watched some of the shorter classes and have loved them! The teaching style is fantastic and engaging ???? I’ve also enjoyed seeing everyone’s work in the FB groups. Everyone seems to be excited to give helpful feedback and encouragement! I recommend your classes to my coworkers and friends all the time (am a full time sr. designer).

I work for Accenture and animated videos are on a daily basis. Our clients loved the few effects that I was able to learn at the course. Also, I still go back to the lessons and find something new to learn.
