Introducing Rive Academy!

by
School of Motion

Unlock the power of Rive!

We are excited to release Rive Academy: Vol. 1, a new course designed to get you up and running fast in Rive! If you have been curious about this new motion and interaction design software or have been frustrated trying to learn it on your own, this course is what you’ve been looking for.

Best of all, it’s taught by SOM Founder Joey Korenman, who has been educating motion designers for years in courses like The Path to MoGraph, Animation Bootcamp and more. 

And as the name (Vol. 1) implies, we will be bringing you more advanced volumes in this series soon!

What is Interaction Design?

For decades, motion designers have used After Effects to create linear animations—those that play from start to finish while the viewer stays passive. But things are changing fast, and a new frontier is emerging: Interaction Design.

Interaction Design takes motion design to the next level. Instead of animations simply playing through, they are triggered by user interaction, making the user an active part of the experience. This approach pulls people deeper into the experience as they engage with the UI. Interaction Design is rapidly gaining traction in tech startups, web design, and product design.

What is Rive?

Rive is an application that allows motion designers to bring their skills into the world of interaction design. With tools like the powerful State Machine, Rive lets designers create rich, interactive animations that users can engage with on websites, in apps, automotive UIs, and more.

Already used by major brands, Rive is poised to become as essential for interaction design as After Effects has been for motion design. It's powerful, fun, and we love it—so we created a course to teach you how to use it!

Who is this course for?

This is a course for motion designers just like you! You don’t need to be a developer or know how to code to use Rive. In fact, we’ll be focusing on your strengths as an artist as we dive into the animation and Interaction Design aspects of Rive.

The All-Access discount is SOLD OUT, but you can still get 25% off all individual courses! We’ve been quietly rolling out our new All-Access program, where you can get every course we make for one low price. It’s a crazy good deal even without this sale. But until Wednesday 12/4, you can get it for 25% off. For this sale we are opening up 100 spots. After those sell out, you’ll have to wait at least a few months until we open more. Don’t sleep on this deal. We expect it to sell out fast.

What will I learn?

In this course, you’ll learn to design, animate, create interaction, deploy and implement rive files in production. We’ll build up a real-world project, piece by piece, until we have actually implemented a full set of interactions in a real app! We’ll go deep so that when you walk away, you’ll be able to use Rive in the real world, and will be ready for more advanced training.
