1 Learn the basics

Before you dive into the advanced features and techniques of motion graphics software, you need to master the fundamentals. Learn how to use the interface, tools, layers, keyframes, effects, and presets of your preferred software, such as Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, or Final Cut Pro. You can find plenty of online tutorials, courses, and books that teach you the basics of motion graphics and video editing. You can also practice by following along with some simple projects and exercises that help you apply what you learn.

Experimentation is really at the heart of motion design. Especially when you're just starting out, there's a joy in discovery. I'd encourage all young motion designers to truly play. Take AfterEffects to its limits, make strange and inefficient designs, & see what other people are doing.

Totally agree, mastering the basics is essential. But, jumping into software like C4D, Blender, Unreal, or After Effects without a project can be terrifying. My advice? Start by reverse-engineering a project you love. It’s a solid way to understand the processes involved. Remember, in tools like AE, there’s often dozens of ways to achieve the same outcome. If you can, get your hands on a completed project, and its assets. Then, try to recreate it. Don’t worry about messing up— it happens, and that’s where YouTube tutorials come in. I’m no an After Effects expert, but comprehending the mechanics behind a project is crucial. Even when you’re creative directing other artists, you need to understand the mechanics to drive what’s possible.

2 Experiment with styles

One of the best ways to develop your motion graphics skills is to experiment with different styles, genres, and formats. You can explore various types of motion graphics, such as kinetic typography, 2D animation, 3D animation, infographics, or motion tracking. You can also try different styles of design, color, typography, and sound. By experimenting with different styles, you can discover your own creative voice, expand your portfolio, and learn new skills and techniques.

3 Seek feedback

Another effective way to improve your motion graphics skills is to seek feedback from others. You can share your work with your peers, mentors, clients, or online communities and ask for their honest opinions and suggestions. You can also watch other motion graphics artists' work and analyze their strengths and weaknesses. By seeking feedback, you can learn from your mistakes, identify your areas of improvement, and get inspired by new ideas and perspectives.

Motion graphics are constantly evolving and changing, so you need to keep up with the latest trends and innovations in the industry. You can follow blogs, podcasts, magazines, or social media accounts that showcase the best motion graphics work and news. You can also attend events, workshops, webinars, or conferences that feature experts and influencers in the field. By keeping up with trends, you can stay updated on the current standards and expectations of the market, and adapt your skills and style accordingly.

5 Challenge yourself

The final way to develop your motion graphics skills is to challenge yourself with new and complex projects. You can set yourself goals and deadlines, and work on projects that push you out of your comfort zone. You can also participate in contests, competitions, or collaborations that test your skills and creativity. By challenging yourself, you can increase your confidence, motivation, and productivity, and achieve higher levels of quality and professionalism in your motion graphics work.

Remember, the story always comes first. Ask yourself: are motion graphics the right tool for telling your story? I’ve burned time and budget on animations for tech documentaries, just ‘cause I thought they should be there. Sometimes, they’re not the answer. Maybe capturing real engineers in action, their screens, or other b-roll hits it better. If motion graphics are your go-to, be clear about what you’re aiming to show your audience. There’s no wrong way to tell a story, but don’t tick the motion graphics box just for tradition’s sake. When you’re sure they’re the right fit, the entire process is streamlined.
