What software do I need?

+

This course is not about software; it’s about collaborating with clients on real projects. It’s useful whatever your weapon of choice: Cinema 4D, Blender, After Effects, Maya, Houdini, 3DS Max, Lightwave. The process is still the process.

Any software I teach in the course is freely available online as part of the Google Suite. The only exception is a tutorial on creating Intensity Arcs in After Effects. But I do my best to translate that to other software while going through it.
‍
And, only get the “Master Motionographer” version if you’re a fan of Cinema 4D. All the extras in that version revolve around that. And to get full use out of the source files, you’ll also need Turbulence FD, X-Particles and Arnold Renderer.

I’m not a Motion Designer. What will I get out of the course?

+

If you work with any type of moving pictures that involves a client this course will be absolute gold for you. Especially if you work with animation, and especially 3D. There are a lot of parallels with filmmaking and many other creative professions. A lot of the principles are the same. That’s why I called it “Process of Motion” and not “Process of 3D Animation”.

Only get the “Master Motionographer” version if you’re a fan of Cinema 4D. All the extras in that version revolve around that.

I use Blender or something, should I still get the course?

+

I would recommend the “Dedicated Designer” version of the course. It’s all about the process, and with a focus on working with clients and 3D. But nothing in there is specific to a certain 3D software.
‍
All the extras in the “Master Motionographer” version are about C4D however. So if you’re curious about Cinema 4D it’s worth considering, but if not, I wouldn’t bother with that one.

How long is the course?

+

It’s actually up to you. This is an on-demand course, so you set the pace. The total runtime of all 73 videos is almost exactly 8 hours. If you watch 5 lectures per day, it’ll take about 2 weeks. But you could smash through it all in a workday if you don’t eat or take bathroom breaks. But I’m not sure that’s the best way to learn...

When does it start?

+

I’m ready when you are. This is an on-demand course. As soon as you enroll you’ll get access all the lessons and you'll be able to request access to the assets and templates.

How long do I have access?

+

Until death do us part. You’ve got lifetime access. Pay once, learn and use forever. You can take as long as you like, come back as often as you want.
Actually, I can do better. I guarantee you afterlife access too. If you come back as a ghost you’re welcome to keep watching the lectures and refreshing your memory.

What are the lectures like?

+

Some of the lectures are available as free previews in the full curriculum below. So you can have a look for yourself and see what you can expect.

What if I don’t like it?

+

I really think you will. But if you don’t, it’s okay to change your mind. I don’t want anyone to feel ripped off. See above for the 30 day polite money back guarantee. I stand by that. Even if you just don’t like the font I picked.

How will the assets and NORR source files be delivered?

+

Part of your course bundle will be a link to a Google Drive folder where you can request access.

Then you can browse, look at and pick files to download. It’s split into folders and not just a single megachonk of a 170gb download. But you can grab the whole thing at once if that’s how you roll.

What am I allowed to do with the NORR source files? What’s the license?

+

The source files from the NORR case study are licensed as CC BY-NC . This means you can do whatever you want with them for personal use . Use that shit in everyday renders, personal projects, artwork and other cool shit. Just don't use it in client work, and don't share the files themselves. And, if it’s reasonable, please credit “Assets from the Process of Motion by Daniel Danielsson” or something similar and link back to processofmotion.com or danieldanielsson.com

If you do use them for some cool shit, I’d like to see it too. Tag me (@MotionViking in most places) or sling a link my way.

Is NORR a real company? :O

+

They are a 100% real fake client. So no. They are an artificial client designed in a super-lab. Their only purpose in life? To show the best and worst sides of a client and give the process of motion a good run for its money.

Will this teach me how to find clients?

+

The course focuses mostly on keeping them. But there is a section on positioning yourself as a Motion Designer to attract clients.

How are the payments handled?

+

All payments are handled through the payment method you choose. They hold the payment for the duration of the 30 day polite money back guarantee. Only once those 30 days are up does the payment reach me.

Can I have a discount?

+

If you don’t think this course is worth the full price, I doubt a reduced price would help. Maybe the course isn’t right for you. Hang on to your dough and spend it on something you feel is more worth it.

Will this course work on mobile or tablet?

+

Oh heckers yea. This course is built with Teachable and is fully responsive. Androids, iPhones, Tablets, maybe even your 'smart' TV should be no problemo. Teachable even provide a free iOS app so you can learn “on the go” as advertisers love to say.
