[@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 🙌💯

[@verr]

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

[@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!

[@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...

[@matthieubernard6736]

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

[@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.

[@carlospaz721]

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

[@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.

[@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 🇧🇷❤️

[@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.

[@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 👍🏻

[@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!

[@karendavtyan1186]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@jasminekhatchatrian456]

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

[@WhatIveLearned]

Love this channel

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 🦇

[@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!

[@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

[@aax2479]

For the longest time I've dreamt of being able to bring my own imagination to life. This dream is what drew me learn more and more about film production, direction, and most importantly animation. I have watched countless videos on KZbin trying learn, and build my skillset so I can achieve my goals, but I've always found that some things are lacking. Sadly I can't figure it out myself, and that is what I'm looking forward to most in your masterclass. Growing from your experience, and becoming comfortable in efforts to one day carry on the legacy of animation. I know that sounds a bit weirdly poetic or just cringy but animations have a been a huge part of my life and I would be honoured to able to learn from masters like you.

[@juancastillejo600]

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

[@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).

[@serlolol]

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

[@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 :)

[@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!

[@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.

[@deadneck13]

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

[@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!

[@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 :)

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@KayGee_yt]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@Janswill]

Oh, man! What I'm most exited to learn in this course? EVERYTHING!! I'm a scientist myself and I'm shifting to my other passion: Motion Graphics! So, I'm really looking forward to get this course! Would be AWESOME!!

[@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.

[@jesspreston1683]

I am most excited to learn about the effects and colour part of the course! Give us those sweet Ben Marriott effect secrets of how you get your animations to look so good!!!

[@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!

[@suhairsaleem4249]

Being an art student i was always so fascinated by motion graphics and design, i am looking to learn motion graphics to my fullest from this course so that it might help me with my art school and my career ahead as this indeed is something i love to do.

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@HuyNguyen-jl6sl]

I am most excited about getting to know what an actual workflow to create such stunning visuals is. Well known first step in the flow: Always name the layers.

[@rodrigogarciagonzalez5889]

What excits me the most is that your videos have awekened in me the desite to enter the world of animation, when before this I didn't give it any value

[@arminebaghdasaryan9947]

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

[@urielmromano]

I'm most excited about seeing the way the microscope sequence was created. It just looks so natural!

[@kiaravincent4638]

Most excited to see how to build on the 12 principals of animation. Also processes to become more efficient on AE!

[@nagatakurniawan6078]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@gauthamcode]

Looking forward to refine my knowledge on motion design and take it to the next level.

[@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!

[@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 (:

[@fernandothome227]

What I´m most excited to learn is HOW TO THINK as a top notch professional in animation/motion design industry. As as 5 year carreer motion designer here, there are some things that only time can teach you, but to learn how o think (see, fell) is the most important thing for the one who doesnt know whrere to go in the next project. Learning the insides of a program is something that time and practice will teach, but to think, hmmm, to think is invaluable.

[@brieannaseaton4669]

Super excited to learn how to make my motion graphics look more natural and not so forced!

[@celo2043]

I'm most excited about getting feedback from experienced pro's, this is so important to understand where you can improve and how!

[@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!

[@yusufmetan9605]

I am very excited to see the details and finesse of the motion design. The course looks amazing many can be find it useful!

[@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

[@george.t177]

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! 🙏🏻👏🏻

[@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.

[@danilo352]

This is gold! I also liked the idea of messing with curves so that the object is not hanging too long. I’d love to learn how to be more efficient in AE. Thanks.

[@robinlaperche6721]

I'm most excited about mastering the effects & colour ! Can't wait to learn !

[@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.

[@magorzataz5217]

I'm working as a graphic designer and do some motion design as well, however I mostly rely on a few plugins and youtube tutorials. In theory I know the principles of animation, but as you said - it's one thing to understand, it's another to know how to apply it. I feel like I'm stuck and even though there are some cool tutorials out there, I found out that the crucial thing in the learning process is feedback from a pro. This is something that I really miss and to me, this is the most exciting part of this course!

[@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

[@OneWingedErin]

I'm excited to learn about the whole workflow of coming up with an animation and the workflow on how to achieve those results!

[@motionscripture6525]

Hi Ben!! Thank you for your channel first and foremost since your lessons here helped me a lot in my projects as a motion designer. I'm still far away from mastering the art yet I know the possibilities are endless and still loving the process. There are lessons that excite me the most and in this season of my skill, I'm looking forward to learning more about proper texture and graining, various expressions, managing the timeline, and rigging a character. Thank you for the opportunity of participating in the course giveaway since it's a dream to learn from the best! More blessings to you and your cause! :)

[@eddieguerrero3307]

I'm most excited to learn how to elevate my design work! I'm a graphic design student and motion design feels like a skill that can take my work and value to the next level.

[@lorenzoyagong7156]

There's a lot that I'm looking forward to, Mindset, workflows , different combination of the effects , expressions, etc. As an intermediate motion designer that doesn't earn yet , I'm hoping that I can advance my skill further more with this course.

[@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!

[@thenarrativebreakdown]

What I'm most excited about the course is character animations!

[@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!

[@kepaetxeberria1722]

I’m most excited to learn how to combine all these different skills into bigger more complex projects!

[@karenhanretty3280]

I'm excited to learn the subtle, yet crucial, tips that make motion design projects stand out from the others.

[@esther7485]

I'm most excited about effects, workflow, best pratices and feedback by great motion guru. I learned motion design since just one year so I'm interested by this course ! And thank you for sharing great tutorials

If I have to choose another topic than the 12 rules of animation, that would be morphing. Yours are so smooth, I would be delighted to learn it from you !

[@junjun9867]

I'm really excited to learn how to make efficient transitions. Impactful and smooth!

[@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.

[@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!

[@benachourmedwassim4606]

I'm most excited about learning everything you have to offer Ben Marriott, I've been a junior animator for the longest time, and I'm ready to step up!!

[@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!

[@CaHCO3]

Haven't had any formal training or education in animation before and I'm studying for a degree that isn't related, but with your tutorials I managed to land an animation internship! Really excited to be able to just learn more from you and hope it can be a great course to kickstart my motion design career after graduating in 2022! Great videos and thanks for all the help :)

[@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.

[@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!

[@admmgllc]

Being able to take audience engagement to another level using visual story telling is a skill I would look forward to learning.
