Use AI with taste, control, and confidence in your motion design workflow.

AI is moving fast. New models, new features, new hot takes. But when you are staring at a real brief, the job has not changed: make something good.

That’s why we created AI Foundations for Motion, an intermediate course with 8.5+ hours of training taught by School of Motion founder Joey Korenman. This is not a gallery of prompts. It is a practical, grounded way for motion designers to use AI in a real production process - with your taste, judgment, and responsibility still in the driver's seat.

In this course, you’ll develop a short School of Motion spot from early visual exploration through finished delivery. You’ll research visual directions, build moodboards and storyboards, cut an animatic, generate and refine shots, and finally adapt the finished work for a vertical format.

AI Foundations for Motion is included in our All-Access and Team Training programs.

How do I Get The Course?

Great news! If you are a member of our All-Access or Team Training programs, AI Foundations for Motion has already been added to your training library. Got to town!

If you are new to All-Access, now is a great time to join.

Who is this course for?

AI Foundations for Motion is an intermediate course for motion designers who want a practical, grounded way to start using AI in their process. It is for artists who want more than a gallery of prompts: they want to make better decisions, get more control, and bring AI into real production work responsibly.

This is a multi-tool AI course rather than training for one platform. You will work with image, video, language, and motion tools, with After Effects used for finishing. Access requirements vary by tool.
