Sigrun HreinsAnimator / Designer - Hvíta húsið
sigrunhreins.comI've finished the Animation Bootcamp, Design Bootcamp and Character Animation Bootcamp, and they were all fantastic. I can wholeheartedly recommend all three bootcamps, not only did they make me a much more competent animator and designer, but they also re-kindled my passion for animation and design. The lessons are fun and incredibly informative, and the teachers and TA's are very dedicated and helpful. But one of the best things is to watch your peers get better and better with each lesson and to witness the friendly atmosphere and camaraderie in the Bootcamp Facebook group. It's worth every penny.

dmusseb.comI have taken courses elsewhere and nothing has compared to the experience I've had with School of Motion Bootcamps. It's not just the tutorials that help but also how responsive and engaging the classes are. Getting to talk to other students from around the world and getting their feedback and perspective make SOM bootcamps unique. The TA's are very knowledgable and extremely helpful in their feedback. The instructor was very hands on and technically experienced. He answered questions quickly and was truly engaged in all the projects and with all the students. This experience has broaden my knowledge as a designer and animator. It was worth every penny.

shadowgraphstudios.comSimply put, these bootcamps have made me a more confident designer and animator.
The knowledge and confidence that I've gained absolutely shines thru when it's time to tackle client, agency and personal work. It is very clear that a lot of thought and love has been put into these courses and you'll see results within the first couple of weeks. Put in the hard work and participate with the great peers you'll meet and network with. You won't regret it. Believe the hype.

robertascialla.comCharacter Animation Bootcamp is the coolest course ever! It’s inspiring, challenging and fun. During and even better, after the course, I felt part of a family. Teachers are highly skilled and professional, always ready to answer any question and classmates are talented and enthusiastic. It’s the right place to learn every secret of Character Animation.
Leigh WilliamsonSenior Motion Designer (2D/ 3D)
www.leighwilliamson.comComing from a digital design background, I used to think I was a great animator.
That’s until Animation Bootcamp knocked me off my pedestal with their vast knowledge - with the help of School of Motion I was rebuilt from the ground up.
I was so ashamed of my 17 years of portfolio work, that I canned the lot and replaced it with my course homework to start. The so called “master” had once again become a student and will forever remain a humble student of the motion arts.
Since then my thirst for growth has been unquenchable, completing Character Animation Bootcamp & Cinema 4D Basecamp.
I’m so excited about all the doors my new found skills have opened and my future in the motion industry thanks to School of Motion.
