My lessons are designed to be interactive, hands-on, and tailored to suit both beginners and intermediate learners who want to master the best of both worlds—classic motion design and cutting-edge AI video production. Here's what you can expect:
Lesson Format
Introduction and Goals: Each lesson starts with a clear objective—whether it's mastering a traditional animation technique or building an AI-powered production pipeline.
Step-by-Step Demonstration: I break down workflows across both domains. On the motion design side, I cover Adobe After Effects—keyframing, motion paths, easing, rotoscoping, and 3D layering. On the AI side, I guide you through tools like Runway, Pika, Sora, HeyGen, CapCut AI, and Descript, showing you how to generate, refine, and edit footage with AI. I also teach you how to combine both—using AI to generate base assets and then polishing them with professional motion graphics.
Practical Exercises: Students work alongside me on hybrid real-world projects—like creating AI-generated explainer videos enhanced with hand-crafted text animations, product promos that blend generative footage with traditional transitions, or fully automated editing workflows that still preserve the artistic touch of a motion designer.
Feedback and Q&A: Every session ends with personalized feedback on your work and an open Q&A, covering everything from easing curves to prompt optimisation.
Content and Dynamics
Foundational Skills: Learn the essentials of After Effects (interface, timeline, shape layers, masks) alongside the fundamentals of AI video generation (prompt engineering, model selection, and asset sourcing).
Advanced Techniques: Dive deep into motion tracking, expressions, complex character animations, and 3D compositing—while also mastering multi-tool AI workflows, automated rotoscoping, AI-assisted colour grading, and dynamic sound design. I'll show you how to build hybrid pipelines where AI handles the heavy lifting and you apply your designer's eye for the final polish.
Real-World Projects: Apply your skills to diverse briefs—social media shorts, brand identity animations, e-commerce ads, corporate storytelling, and even AI-generated narrative pieces—so you graduate with a versatile portfolio.
Creative Problem-Solving: Develop the mindset to troubleshoot both traditional animation bottlenecks and AI quirks (like hallucinations or inconsistent outputs), empowering you to enhance any project independently.
My Experience
With over 9 years of professional experience spanning motion design and AI-driven video production, I've delivered work for global brands, marketing campaigns, and educational platforms. I started my career in traditional VFX and motion graphics, then pivoted early into the AI space—giving me a rare hybrid edge. I don't just teach software; I teach you how to think like a producer, blending timeless animation principles with the speed of AI to create videos that are both beautiful and efficient.
Whether you want to launch a freelance career, level up your content, or future-proof your skillset, my lessons will give you the confidence and expertise to thrive in the new era of video creation.
Looking forward to starting your amazing journey at the intersection of design and AI!
