With over 20 years of experience developing high-level motion-based templates, we combine data with our post-production processes to create automated personalised content at scale.
Consulting & Training
We are experts in Adaptive and Responsive Motion Graphics. These are the two most transformative skills you can learn in Adobe After Effects today and for the foreseeable future. These are critical skills to developing not only more but better quality content. We incorporate Data-driven Content Creation by hooking up spreadsheet data to Adobe After Effects, for automated content workflows..
The Advanced Adobe After Effects courses are scheduled for launch in March-April 2024
The Blog Section contains some information on these courses.
These are very advanced courses that require confident BUT NOT expert knowledge in Adobe After Effects Expressions. You must be very familiar with using AE and be able to navigate quickly around its interface and be comfortable working with Text and Shape Layers and Null Objects.
In these advanced courses, we'll be looking at developing Adaptive & Responsive Motion Graphics Toolkits and Motion Graphics Design Systems. We will also be looking at linking spreadsheet data to Adobe After Effects to enable Content Automation for both Static Imagery and Visuals. These are truly transformative skills and knowledge that will advance careers into the future.

WHAT IS ADAPTIVE & RESPONSIVE MOTION GRAPHICS
It has always been about creating high-quality content. Today it's about creating high-quality content at speed and with scalable design options. And if automation is viable, it's always a bonus.
We provide advanced training to create such transformative Motion Graphics Designs.
We combine Coding, Motion Design, Graphics Design and Data Integration in our courses to ensure you develop high-quality solutions in the form of Adaptive & Responsive MoGraph Templates and Toolkits and entire MoGraph Design Systems.
The Adaptive Feature works magically by allowing you to design and develop once, in a single resolution and to then output to multiple frame sizes and aspect ratios. You will learn how to set these up from scratch as well as convert existing static and animated designs into Adaptive Designs.
Responsive Features are intelligent and robust in nature and automatically adjusts an element's size and position and also re-animates these elements to fit updated content. This allows a single design to work with innumerable textual and visual content.
We will also be looking at using Spreadsheet Data to drive Content Automation to automate Identity Branding Tasks, Localization Efforts, .
