Sparked an interest I didn’t know I had

Prior to discovering this podcast I didn’t even know motion design was a thing - I only started listening to this podcast by chance after I randomly stumbled upon an episode with an artist I follow.

Fast forward a few weeks and I’ve now listened to about 90% of all episodes, and I have developed a burning desire to get into the motion graphics world. Really looking forward to taking my first course - from The School of Motion!

MunMod ,

Favourite motion graphics podcast!

Recently started listening and its so refreshing to hear from the multiple guests on the show because it gives so much invaluable info/wisdom/knowledge. Really appreciate this podcast!

@tom_motion ,

Treat your ears and school your brain.

I can't praise Joey and team more at School of Motion they really do an incredible job at providing on point content! Keep it coming guys I need more! The podcast is a fantastic asset for any motion designer or creative and I highly reccomend you tune in and subscribe. I've been in the industry for over 5 years now and studied design at University but I can honestly say I've learnt just as much again from listening to this podcast. I wish I had this before I got into the industry as it's second to none. It's also a brilliant way of keeping in touch with the community and discovering new talent and much more.
