The #1 Skill All Animators Need

[@BenMarriott]

My Master Motion Design Course is open for enrollment! www.benmarriott.com/ Enroll before Sept 30 to access all the bonus content.

[@sybrandinmotion]

Hi Ben, congrats on your course! What I am most excited to learn in the course is to understand the WHY. I hope to become better at problem solving and surprise the client, art director and even myself more instead of just making the deadline with blood, sweat and lots of tears. I have already learned so much from your channel about the WHAT and the HOW. I am going to enjoy the WHY and promise to label all my layers if I win the pass :-)

[@jervazfernandes2794]

I'm most excited about learning everything! This will help me soooo much

[@Wavei]

I’m a beginner animator and honestly anticipation made my work look a lot more lively than I had anticipated.

[@BenMarriott]

Glad you've discovered the magic of anticipation :)

[@christlightanimations4659]

No pun intended 😅

[@TipTut]

Anticipation is definitely one of the most important aspects of any motion, as it prepares your audience for what they're about to see! Looks like a fantastic course, Ben you should be very proud! :)

[@StefanTabit]

Thank you for answering the question in the title lol

[@santiadur]

I'm mostly looking forward to just name my layers. Hope we delve deep into that as its clearly been the cornerstone of mograph for years!

[@minimimic]

this caught me off guard and made me laugh as I was scrolling through the comments lol

[@Schosuke]

such an underrated comment!! good one heh

[@mistajutub2197]

Ben, you‘er pretty much the person that made me believe that I can actually learn animating and that every animation no matter how complex can be broken down and recreated eventually 🙏 While you have helped me already immensely with your videos on KZbin, this course would finally give me the push to actually master this beautiful, creative passion of mine 🙌💯

[@MarlineAnimates]

I'm most excited about knowing and better understanding all the different options of the software, because I mostly use the basics I've remembered from animation channels or just the things I've come up by myself while exploring AE - which is enough for my compositing but I'd love to finally take another step further. I rely on tutorials from this channel for over a year and it's easy to say that it has opened my mind to so many creative things I can do with motion design (because I used to do only traditional frame by frame character animations before). It would really expand my knowledge and prepare me for the future job as an animator. Plus Ben Mariott's videos just have the right vibe to you know, inspire to try new things and break the comfort zone (for me - trying something more geometrical and simple while still keeping it interesting)! Thanks for what you do!

[@matthieubernard6736]

I'm most excited about learning to learn by doing practical tasks which will also help me to build a solid portfolio

[@maleu]

What I am expecting from this course is actually being able to compose the animations with the techniques, transitions you're going to show comfortably by adding on my current after effects knowledge. I have been following your tutorials they always gave me the inspiration and motivation to keep going when I felt like "nah I can't do it". That's why I would like to take a step further and get into professional level. I would love to be part of your course community and learn the deep skills given through your course. The currency differences in my country and not being able to use the PayPal kind of websites for transfers as they are not supported in my country making it harder for me to purchase it. I really appreciate you offer solutions and really care about our questions regarding to the course. I would be super happy if I'd win this give away. Trying my chances! Thank you so much for offering us amazing opportunities ❤️ you are really the best 👍🏻

[@AshStryker]

The course would be a boon coming from someone as well-spoken and concise as yourself. You have a way of conveying information with all the UI present and jargon comprehensible enough for a novice like myself to learn from and retain lucidly. I'm aiming to learn new skills as a visual artist that will help me convey my ideas outside of static media. It would be an unmistakably worthwhile experience. Thank you for putting this course together, and looking forward to continuing to follow your work!

[@isabelarenault]

I’m looking foward to elevating my animation skills, learning how to have an efficient workflow and being consistent on creative new ideas that will make my work stand out! Congrats on the amazing course! Much love form Brazil 🇧🇷❤️

[@arminebaghdasaryan9947]

I'm excited to learn from YOU in general (not someone else, but YOU) all about your process and thinking behind every project 👀

[@carlospaz721]

Love to see the 12 principles of animation being taught in your course.

[@PresencePhotography]

Honestly? I’m new to motion design, but your videos have inspired me to pursue this as an artistic endeavor. I’ve just invested all I have in a new computer because of it! Your teaching style is so clear, concise, and engaging. I’d be extremely excited to learn the fundamentals with you as my guide. If you pick me, know that I’ll gladly sing your praises wherever this course takes me!

[@karendavtyan1186]

Looking forward to learn more about my potential as a motion designer cause this course seems pretty challenging and eye opening

[@AdamRaeburn]

I'm most excited to have a fully comprehensive course in a single package! I've been learning motion graphics as my quarantine hobby from random KZbin videos and having a full course would be so helpful!

[@Realeeryan]

I would be most excited to be able to learn animation under an expert. I just had someone ask me how I got started on motion graphics, and I pointed them to you. The amount I can learn under a professional rather than flailing about on my own really has me excited for your Master Motion Design Course. If I had to give a more specific answer, your backgrounds are always amazing detailed which I find spectacular.

[@ejeinmotion]

I would use the knowledge of this course to help others like you do!! And that's what i'm really excited about this course.

[@willeklof]

I’m most excited about character animation. Having produced a video that was featured in one of your “best of year” videos, I wished I could have contributed even more to the character animation parts personally. I think this course would be a perfect starting point for me!

[@fedebellotti]

Well, Ben you've become such a mentor for me in the last months. I learnt from you the most I've ever learnt in the last few years. Being a motion designer as always fascinating me but, time as never been enough to learn and making it a full time job. With this course I know I can learn and applicate skills and finally having fun making graphic and working on it. It would be an honor, thanks again Ben!

[@nyoreikomoni]

Definitely looking forward to learning every single thing this course has to offer. It would help me a lot in my motion design journey and career.

[@WhatIveLearned]

Love this channel

[@Vitor_FS]

I'm most excited about learning how to give more personality to my motion design. This class, as well as basically all your videos, are amazing at teaching that more than just a specific technique. Your channel is undisputedly the one I come back to the most for studying!

[@guidezaza45]

This course is going to be sick! To be honest. I'm excited about everything inside the course especially with the comments from professionals. It will definitely boost up my animation skills.

[@verr]

Just the general animations and the graph editor is what Im most excited about!

[@haykdavtyan1925]

I'm mostly excited about getting that performance enhancing drugs 🤔 I knew that you're doing drugs! Cause how in the hell you could make that kind of dope motion designs 🤷🏽‍♂️ No seriously, you're dope, man ! All I want is to learn the life-changing truth about animation, unleash my potential, label out my layers and access higher levels of my consciousness by taking the course...or drugs 🦇

[@georgetirlea1771]

Finally a course from THE master of 2D animation! I am looking to learn how you structure the projects, how you deal with multiple precomps, how you set tranzitions, how you deal with sound and music and most important how you get the ideas that make the animation. Thanks! Looking forward to this! 🙏🏻👏🏻

[@RakeshSayZ]

I fell in love with your courses on Motion Design School and can only imagine how much more curated and informative this one would be. Unfortunately, the currency differences and the payment methods make it very hard for me to obtain this course. Even if I don't get this, I will one day go through this course for sure

[@miatroost5289]

"Always label your layers" was the first of many fun lessons that I've learned from watching your tutorials throughout the years. When I look at your work, I feel inspired but honestly also intimidated. I have always wanted to be a great animator/ motion graphics artist, but I used to questioned my abilities. But when I discovered your tutorials, it really galvanized me to do better, to learn more and most importantly, to just have fun! I look forward to learning more about your tips and tricks for great character animation, effecient workflows and everything in-between!

[@beerfrad6447]

I'm most excited about learning motion design in a structured manner from my favourite motion design youtuber. I absolutely love your videos and tutorials on specific techniques and workflows and am so grateful for them. But learning from a course is even better, studying the fundamentals and building on top of that really is the best way.

[@juancastillejo600]

GIVEAWAY: I’m excited to learn how we always name our layers, correctly 🤣

[@ivolopes7883]

I'm a student in Paris since 3 years. The course would allow me to learn the world of Motion Design which interests me strongly. To acquire exciting and valuable knowledge from motion professionals is a privilege.

[@serlolol]

No. 1 thing all animators need is the ability to make clickbait titles

[@BraulioPallares]

What I'm most excited about this course is finding new and innovative ways to use certain tools. There are tools I feel comfortable with and suddenly someone comes with some other use I would never ever have thought of and it's amazing. Just for that I will subscribe...

[@KayGee_yt]

The 12 principals of design and the 12 principals of animation combined make for some of the best work

[@noareimgivon4599]

so excited! this year im looking forward to broadening my understanding of motion design, and tuning in the finest of details to create a more engaging narrative! good luck to everyone

[@armankirakosyan96]

I'm mostly excited to learn from your course is those smooth animations which you have in almost every work you've done, especially in character movements

[@VJMorph]

For me the most exciting thing about the course is learning those small bits of magic that elevate the average to the truely special piece that really floors my client.

[@chexter159]

I found your channel like 4 months ago and I truly loved it. The way you explain such a difficult terms for us, some begginers and other advanced motion designers is both fascinating and entertaining. I'm looking forward to start your course. I have high expectactions and I'm way too sure that your course will meet them.

[@AxlRozz]

What I'm most looking forward to learn in the course is the creative and design process of creating an animation. I've been trying to do some personal projects but I never finish an idea and I get so stuck in the design process. Also I'm so excited to learn new techniques and reinforce other techniques. I've been watching you for years and I can safely say your KZbin tutorials were the ones that helped me the most and got me interested in the first place to all of the animation in After effects. I love your illustration style and your animation style and that's probably what inspires me everyday. Thank you so much for all this years of tutorials, I'm sure this course is more than excellent

[@03fb]

I'm most excited to not only learn new fascinating techniques but only those little tidbits that help the work be more effiecient and better in the long run.

[@philhatt1]

I'm looking forward to learning what I can add to the skills I have already learned from your channel. Every time you bring out a new video I would sit down and recreate it and then think about how these new skills translate to my work. Applying it to my work right after practicing it with your video helps the information settle into my workflow instead of just learning a skill I'm going to forget in a week. Well done on the course! I'm sure everyone is going to learn tons from it!

[@AndrewMontpetit]

Honestly, the things I'm most looking forward to in this course are the aspects of motion design that take work from good to magnificent. It can be frustrating when you get into a "comfort rut" where your produce work that's good, but limited by what you know. It's even more frustrating when you realize how much better your work could be if you only knew just a few elusive, handy concepts or a different perspective / mindset. This video alone was helpful, and will probably improve my projects moving forward. I can only imagine what a whole class would be like. Thanks for your work, tutorials, and for this class!

[@waltergomezu686]

I'm very excited about a full course make by you dude, I mean you already share some top class information and tips and and complete course made by you and watch all the breakdown it is just nuts!

[@jasminekhatchatrian456]

I'm excited to learn from YOU in general (not someone else, but YOU) all about your process and thinking behind every project.

[@kleemp]

Character animation is what excites me the most. I've wanting to lear this for ages and definitively learning it with you would be the best.

[@bryan-bryan-bryan]

Hey Ben! What excites me the most about your work and this course is the possibility to pivot my career. My skills have been stuck on intermediate for a while, considering my current job only needs very short animations for UI interactions and loading states. I am much more passionate about lending my skills to storytelling, to make complex concepts feel artistic like you do. Learning from the best teacher in the business would give me a huge boost towards moving away from easy & comfortable, which can be rather soul-sucking, to pursue my passion delivering high quality artwork that brightens up people's day. Thank you for being so generous sharing your skills on this channel, they are always mind-blowing in their beauty and simplicity!

[@rawsh]

I've always found your tutorials helping me a lot in my motion design career. They almost always guarantee a level up in my skills and make me a tad better designer after watching your video than I ever was before. That's why I've been subscribed to your channel for so long now. Hoping to see the same kind of stuff in the course as well. It's honestly so exciting!

[@Chelsea-jx1bi]

I think you are such a wonderful teacher! You explain everything so thoroughly and with examples. The thing(s) I'm most looking forward to in this course is to have the opportunity to learn more in depth motion skills from a tutor that I know will deliver comprehensive, understandable and inspiring lessons. You've helped me develop my skills so much and I know this course will be AMAZING! Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your content. X

[@cheezy_creezy]

Im excited about the whole course I have been doing animation in after effects for 9 years and there is so much more to learn. And every time I watch one of your video's I learn something new, so I think getting an in-depth course would be amazing

[@deadneck13]

Going back to this, I see that this is probably the single tip that's improved my work the most. Thanks, Ben!!

[@fresher126]

Hey Ben. I've only entered the field of animation about half a year ago and am still on my exciting path of constant learning and discovering of new things, a lot of them from your videos. I'd be super stoked to sink into your course and get better :)

[@lukemoloney8415]

I'm excited to get more insight into a pro's workflow. I can watch tutorials all day long, but seeing HOW to go about the work is so helpful for someone like me trying to start in the industry. Thanks Ben!

[@kubalibre]

Thanks for whipping this up Ben. I'm most excited about the things that make animation stand out. I'm sure everyone has a lot of good ideas but what they lack is the skill of how to put it in motion (literally).

[@AlexanderBennettVideo]

Definitely looking forward to learning confidence in motion design. Being able to make what’s in my head on screen without too much frustration would be priceless!

[@braobarbosa9780]

Awesome as usual, dude. It's amazing how small details can make huge difference on the final piece.

[@kumo3375]

I am super excited for this course! One of the skills I am most looking forward to learning is how to optimize the workflow, how to come up with a storyboard and create convincing smooth animation and transitions!

[@rouaudilan]

It's incredible, i study in grpahic design and i always think that my work miss something, and i think your course coule be the thing that unlock my problem, your style and workflow is something that seems very interesting

[@noon4085]

As someone who's just starting out in motion design and using AE, what I'm most looking forward is to learn everything I need to level up my work more. Especially in the workflow department, because I feel like I'm not using AE to it's full potential. You've been helping me to achieve what I want my motion design to look like, so I hope I can continue to learn from you in this course!

[@CarlosAcosta-pw1er]

Hi Ben, I've been following you for quite a while, you've been helping me by each video i get to watch, how to be a better animator, and to also be more playful with it too, and open up more my eyes, in my case, im learning animation with youtube, so basically you and other youtubers taught me everything i know and im looking forward to keep learning, if i were to win this course, i feel that what ill be more insterested in is on transitions and cuts, editing is super easy for me because im an editor, thats my thing but in editing most of the time if find the solution with a cut, we dont "create" the cut, but here you have to know a lot of transitions and know how to use each and for what, so basically thats what im the most excited about.

[@Joe52090]

So excited to see you have a course for advanced motion design! I'm really interested in learning morphing and other transitions, but I probably need the most work on character animation. I'm also really interested in hearing how I can take the things I learn and apply them to the kind of work I do. It's one thing to learn a new skill, but it's much harder to apply it!

[@emilianoito]

What excites me the most is the possibility of being able to grow and improve my work through this course, in addition to raising the bar by applying all this knowledge in my national market (Paraguay). BUT THE BEST OF ALL IS BEING ABLE TO INTERACT WITH MY MOTHION DESIGN SUPERHEROES 🤩🤩🤩

[@nagatakurniawan6078]

the most excited part of the course is knowing what small parts that make the motion graphic feel fluid and alive

[@bananabike279]

Never could've imagined anticipation could be done in so many ways!! Awesome tip / tutorial video!

[@kostiantynhlyz]

I couldn't name something specific, but I'm always excited to learn from the creators like you, Ben. And that doesn't depend on me getting a free enrollment (which, of course would be great). You've already made a lot for the community by sharing your love and knowledge and for that I'm really thankful.

[@darshjoshi1641]

The work you have put into these tutorials is insane. Every explanation with example. I am looking forward to see how you use various interpolation modes to make animation. Thanks for Everything.

[@xxx1432]

It's never too late to learn. Techniques and practices are always changing, so I need to keep myself updated and I believe with Ben behind a course like this will accomplish that and more.

[@asaproveau]

I’m most excited to be walked through your complete work flow and be given guidance by your all-star team! The amount I’ve learned from watching short videos of little aspects of AfterEffect from all of you is immense but was daunting. I’m looking forward to have things presented in a comprehensive structured course. Thanks for all you have shared Ben!

[@pedromarques3878]

I am most excited to dive deep even more on the art of animation. Since I started studying design this field had a huge impact on me and this in my final year of my master will give me the tools I need to break into the work field of motion design.

[@BubblesTheMuffin]

As a graphic designer working on my mograph skills (the college I went to only offered one mograph class), I am most excited for the different challenges each lesson is going to give me. I have learned so much from your tutorials, but I absolutely can't wait to see you go more in depth about your methods! There is always so much to learn. I've been watching before you had either of your classes out and I remember wishing that you had a course or two because you explain the most important parts of motion design in understandable, yet challenging ways!

[@robertmurphy3537]

Looking forward to utilising all concepts and techniques to create more polished motion design pieces that not only elevates my current projects, but also gives me greater pride in the work that I produce.

[@rumethj]

What I'm hoping to learn from the course is just how to make my motion smooth and fluid whilst building my confidence to animate more. Your youtubr videos have already helped me a lot. Your course will help me so much more. Thank you for everything.

[@OhhEJ]

I'm looking forward to the small nitty gritty aspects of AE and motion design that are so often overlooked in tutorials! I'd also like to polish my workflow, and stop doing everything the "hard way" (I'm really good at it lol). I've only really attended KZbin University for my AE/motion knowledge and often feel "fraudish" since I don't have any formal training. I've been invited to work on some cool projects and every time I feel like a major newbie because I'm always figuring it out on the fly. You, Evan, Jake and recently, Emonee have really been my main teachers in the past couple of years and I'd be more than happy to be a part of this course! Thanks so much!

[@madammemorte]

I'm a total rookie at Mograph but since I found this channel I want more and more to learn not just the technique, but I'm also really excited to learn how to become a pro and how to find and deal with clients!

[@szenenschmiede]

I just did five Motion Design courses by Jake Bartlett on Skillshare and now i came across your channel on youtube. You guys are insane! I have never thought i would love motion design this much, it's really addictive. :D I checked out your homepage and to be honest i would be really excited about every part. Thank you very much for all the good content man

[@pw4129]

Honestly, this course really appeals to me because of the level of structured explanation, especially in workflows. I have problems with following workflow and structured learning in a traditional setting even with help from the disability team of the school I attended, so I’d love to give myself a better chance of being able to follow structured learning in this manner - being able to ask specific questions without holding up a class, pausing and rewatching, the weekly breakdown of clear learning outcomes, it all makes me feel really optimistic. Thank you for creating your content too, it’s helped me so much so far already!

[@vinceelegado3183]

When I started really getting into Professional Motion Design last year, Ben's tutorials saved me a ton. I'm most looking forward to Character Animation cause I've struggled with getting those natural motions, and the Creativity Lesson, I wanna see the perspective of other motion designers like Ben on creativity.

[@artfulchili]

I'm hugely excited to get Sensei Marriot's hot takes on balancing colour palettes, lighting and texture! I would also love to learn new refinements to the Illustrator/Photoshop/After Effects workflow. I create mostly simple infographics and kinetic text animations, but in the limited experience I've had animating isometric characters (which I hope to build on), finding an effective flow between the platforms hasnt quite come to me yet.

[@orestzaruckiy2197]

I am Russian. I really love Motion Design. Over the past year, I have spent 3500+ hours at After Effects. I always want to improve my skills and therefore I follow you. And your course is a treasure for me (:

[@bigneism]

First of all thank you so much even for the opportunity, even have the chance to win a spot on your course is amazing! I guess the first thing that came up in my mind is loop, i would love to learn how to do a proper loop animation, I think it adds so much, and increase so much value when it's done. In this video you talked about disney, well they are a masters on looping animation, and would be an honor to get that skill, and would improve my work so much

[@lilo7605]

I'm looking forward to improving my overall understanding of motion graphics and learning more helpful techniques! Thank you for taking the time to make a course :DD

[@svenhegenmusic]

I'm actually most excited for workflow optimization in animation. Skills like knowing the 12 principles and having a great eye for timing and aesthetics are one thing, but knowing how to work efficiently and knowing when to do what or how to tackle a certain problem or task is something that is overlooked a lot of times!

[@Felipe-ux2oy]

I'm excited to learn how to become a PRO in Motion Design, i've been using AE for almost 10 years and i feel that there's always SO MUCH to learn about this software, specially that little things that make a big difference like this Principle of animation, thanks for this lesson!!

[@robertlaynesmith5345]

Of everything, learning the workflow is what I'm most excited about.

[@ItsAMezz]

I'm looking forward to learn about your workflow, I always learn something new in each of your videos, your channel is truly a gold mine!

[@jaroddarvel9240]

YO BEN! I think the opportunity to learn something new or to develop already existing skills is such a privilege. I am definitely looking forward to just being able to learn more about motion design which I am sooo passionate about, and hopefully, one day be able to impart this knowledge to someone else!

[@chilmiii]

my expectation from this course is the ultimate cuaration of essential tutorial and know-how experience based from your expertise after so many years you spent in the motion world, so the goals is that me as a beginner adventurer that is still level 1 can catch up efficiently by doing essential quest and levelling up the right skill for the many upcoming dungeon and boss battle. thank you so much for crafting these, i'm almost thirty and only just started learning in this vast complicated but fun motion world. i'm learning soo much in this three month journey, again thank you for your channel and fun expplanation sir.

[@dantheman2907]

I can almost hear cartoon bongo drums into a gunshot sound effect as the anticipation builds and the shape shoots across the screen! I'm definitely looking forward to learning the 12 principles of animation.

[@laena5842]

Animation is a new found interest and I was never able to learn about it in college, so it's really exciting to have access to all these resources and workshops!! I'm mostly looking forward to learning more about character animation, improving my workflow, and just elevating my work! Thank you so much for all your tutorials :)

[@muhammadridhomuttaqin2159]

If i got the chance to get the course, of course i'm excited to learn it all. But the course that i'm really looking forward to learn are the Effects & Colour part. As it is one of the things that makes your animation more interesting. I want to know the workflow process too! Because i believe, file organization could help me to be a better motion graphic designer.

[@penelopehodkinson9048]

Hi Ben I am most excited to learn from an expert with a continuous story not having to find bit and pieces, and just to be able to learn pivotal stuff that will take me from basic to a whole new level. You are that good that I could watch for hours.

[@nemuryz]

I'm really looking forward to how I can apply those skills and principles to real projects! Your videos are always detailed but also very easy to understand and follow. Really love that! Thank you.

[@ChonnyStone]

I can't wait to take this course! I've been following your updates about it for a while and knew before you ever announced the guest teachers that I was going to enroll, but that info really sweetened the pot! I'm most excited to learn how you go about the finishing touches of your animations. I often feel I can achieve satisfying motion, but the composition of all the elements on screen lack the cohesive look of other professional mograph artists. Knowing how you approach your work and what steps you prioritize towards the wrapping up of a project will really help on my end!

[@monserratmonroy1071]

I’m most excited about working with the 12 principles and morphing, I think they go hand in hand and will also allow me to dive depeer into frame by frame animation 🙌🏼

[@lauragastic9028]

I'm most excited to learn your ways of working, the ability to work on practical projects, making my stories come to life, improve my animation skills receive feedback...in short - everything!

[@brennacook6022]

Strangely enough I never thought I would get into Motion design. When I first took a Form and Motion class in college during my second year, I thought it was tedious and hard to understand within just 15 weeks of classes. But since then I have had your channel to help me, and slowly have grown to love how motion can change the user experience to such a degree. I want to do the same for my designs. What I’m most looking forward to in this course is simple: to learn the different layers of motion, and to understand WHY and HOW it exceeds in attracting the eyes of its viewers.

[@mohamedab9033]

I know this course will go above and beyond. But for a noob like me who just began to dip his toes in these waters, learning a good workflow will be a huge leap. Great stuff, Ben :)

[@zachhtet177]

I started to get the hang of After Effects because of ur tutorials. So, really, this is very exhilarating!

[@brunovaroto]

It woud be a great chance to learn and understand the methods that bring such great animation pieces like your's Ben. That's what I'm most excited about the course. Watching your channel gave me the most valuable lessons to start with motion design as I was shifting from video editing. Thanks for everything, Ben!

[@vlados_99]

Most of all, I want to learn how to work professionally with colors, cool transitions and increase the speed of work! I think this course will raise my skills to a new level!

[@afzalmustafaofficial]

you really put life to animations and that is what i'm really excited to learn from you.
