    So fun to listen to.
    I’m a fitness trainer and self-taught graphic designer that is now dabbling with some motion design. This podcast has been very informative and insightful. I really like the interviewees so far. They seem not only very smart, but very humble. This goes for the host as well. Thanks a lot guys.

    Amazing content and inspirational!
    I didn’t know I had patience for long podcasts! Love the episodes and perfect dose of inspiration while on commute! Keep them coming!
  • Colton Fordyce
    extremely insightful + inspiring
    I’ve known about SOM for awhile from their tutorials, but I don’t typically listen to a lot of career-oriented podcasts because they’re often very out of touch or just very obviously PR fluff. This is the opposite—very honest, very candid, and the few episodes I’ve listened to have had very humble and open guests.

    It seems like every time Joey and his team put together another show, they’ve read the minds of every freelancer and small studio owner out there. Always timely, informative and motivating — My favorite podcast.
  • SONICast
    REALLY insightful!
    If you like or have an interest in motion design, listening to this is a no brainer! School of Motion’s online courses are amazing too!
  • abe619
    Get inspired
    Another podcast that’s on my top list to get inspired from. I learn so much and get inspired with his guest.
  • TheMoGraphGuy
    It's awesome
    Awesome podcast - I get excited whenever a new episode is available. Joey is super conversational and interviews some epic talent!

    More opinions from women!
    As a freelance motion designer I’d love to hear more content from women!! It’s so hard to find and it is extremely necessary to share professional female voices to get more women in mograph!
  • Matt Culbertson
    Content like this makes me want to learn forever!
    As a motion graphics/video person who is lucky enough to be in this industry, sometimes all I think about is what my world would be like if I learned from all of these resources as early as high school (I'm now 28). I'm glad I went to a university for what I do, but watching Joey build School of Motion from the ground up over the years has been incredible. I've been digesting School of Motion content since it started around 2014, and Joey is one of the most likable/knowledgable dudes in the industry. Sometimes I feel like I need to branch out more with my podcasts, because it's nothing but the ones related to motion design and animation. That being said, this is my favorite one! Cheers mographers!

    Insight and Encouragement
    Each episode not only goes deep into an artist’s process and experience, but all provides inspiration for anyone in the motion graphics industry.
  • california soul
    Fantastic industry stuff here
    Joey knows his stuff and his guests do, too. Anyone who works in the motion design industry should be listening to this podcast regularly as there are tons of powerful little bombs of truth and insight dropped from each episode. Great work as usual, Joey. Keep it coming!
  • Mr_Jomo
    Great Podcast
    The School Of Motion Podcast is great. Joey is great at asking the right questions and I love how deep down and geeky the episodes get.
  • MRatna
    Thank you School of Motion!
    After many years in traditional animation I’m just getting started in motion graphics. I am finding School of Motion to be a first rate resource and this podcast series an incredible gift. Thank you for choosing these topics, doing these interviews, making them so entertaining, and most of all Making Them Available. 5 stars plus!!!
  • JQuacker
    Always love this podcast
    I'm always a bit bummed when I catch up on SoM podcast, as that means I have to wait for the next one. Joey's a great interviewer, and picks fantastic guests. Great conversations about the business and community. Highly recommended.
  • Kearn_d0g
    Thank you for leveling me up.
    This podcast is invaluable. I listen and re-listen everyday to these to soak in all of the knowledge that Joey and his guests lay down. He is a fantastic interviewer, asking great questions and prying for more detailed answers. Joey has wonderful energy and listening to these is such a joy. Thanks for everything. Loving design bootcamp, can’t wait for explainer camp.
  • Mr.Moose11
    One of my favorite podcasts!
    Great podcast! This podcast has done so much for me; I feel like this was a great introduction to the mograph industry and started building my confidence in coming out of my little designer shell...it's engaging and useful, there are a few episodes that I have even listened to more than once just to squeeze every drop of knowledge I could! Great job!
  • YesIamMad

    SOM is Fantastic
    I found School of Motion a few months back while working towards my goal becoming a skilled Motion Graphics Artist. The podcasts are very interesting and insightful. I’ve taken a bootcamp and will do more soon.
  • Brandon Kalyan
    An Industry Leading Mograph Resource
    The school of motion continues to deliver another rich, high quality production in this most insightful podcast. With industry leading professionals joining in the conversation to shed light, harness creativity and grow the motion graphics discipline through one big community, another job well done.

  • themattcook
    Freelance Motion Designer/Editor
    Love these podcasts! Very helpful content that helps further the "insiders" knowledge of our industry! Keep releasing the sugary good stuff SOM!
  • Captain Thunderpants' sidekick
    my favorite entertaining motion graphics podcast I've come across
    These guys are interesting, and what they have to say is always worth the listen. If you're looking for something that's informative that you can simply listen to, these guys put out the best podcast on motion graphics I've ever found. There are certainly others out there with plenty of good information, but this podcast I've found is a lot more entertaining. I'm always looking forward to each show as they come out.
  • Bradleyness
    THE GREATEST MOGRAPH PODCAST!
    This is truly a great, engaging podcast. I wish I would have had this info when I was first cutting my teeth in the mograph world, it would have helped so much. I find myself constantly nodding my head in agreement for stuff I had to find out the hard way. I also always keep picking up nuggets of info for stuff I didn't know. Joey is a natural host and a brilliant interviewer. This podcast is crucial for anyone in, or interested in the world of post-production. Great work, Joey!
  • danthemansoto
    Solid Industry Info
    I'm a big fan of this podcast and the insider look you get at post production. It's not just the specific field of motion graphics, but adjacent fields as well, like editing. I'm currently a graphic designer who is interested in motion graphics, so this is a god send. The practical tips and heads up about certain situations are making me feel a lot more comfortable on my new journey into this career. I highly recommend it.
  • Mr. You know woo
    How did I survive w/o SOM!!
    Amazing!! Not only was the experience I had with SOM animation Bootcamp great, but these Podcast are really amazing! Joey really gets in there and ask practical questions that we as mograph artist want to know. As a person just starting their career in this field,after listening to Joey, I feel poised and confident to go out and create great things. Podcast #12 was really awesome! I'm glad Joey mentions what to do for guys like me who are just starting out and are a little nervous about their skill level. I am appreciative of the great work that Joey is doing for the mograph community.

    Mandatory
    Advice from a successful veteran is priceless. As a new motion designer, I feel like I have a HUGE advantage moving forward. As veteran freelancer in the Entertainment industry, I STILL learn a ton of stuff I never would have thought about.
  • GreenLimeJuice
    Amen to all the good ratings
    This podcast is great. As some of the other reviews mentioned, the wholistic approach to mograph is exaclty what I need. I can learn how to use this or that effect in a 3-12 minute youtube video. What I can't learn is what is current in the industry, how to freelance, what the lifespan of a career in mograph looks like. That is the gold here. Oh, and school of motion also teaches all the cool effects.
  • Jakar the Mighty
    Fun and interesting for design folks!
    Excellent and helpful content and industry insights. There is always more to learn!
  • Howie E Cook
    Associate Professor of animation and motion graphics
    I feed this juciey bit of MoGraph knowledge to my students on a regular basis now. Awesome stuff indeed!
  • Aaron J. D.
    Really informative and motivating
    Really really good interview, positive and informative. These guys will tell you where the Mograph industry is at and their advice will tell you what you can do to improve and get a job. I'll be listening to more SOM podcasts.
  • SSEvilLincoln
    Anyone in Motion Design needs to listen to this podcast
    As an alumni of School of Motion, Joey and his team know exact how to curate to Motion designers and graphic designers. This podcast really helped me stay focused and learn the ins and outs of animation. Keep up the great content.
  • Petere86
    Delivers Motion Graphics insights!
    If you're like me, we're busy with our daily jobs, families and court hearings. School of Motion offers insights on industry professionals and how they perform their creative processes. I personally walk away with added knowledge each time I tune in to the podcast. Keep listening.
  • DBContreras
    Lots of great insight!
    For someone who is still new to the industry(2 years), these are great podcasts to listen to. These are transparent conversations that provide insight into the minds of senior level guys that have been designing for 10+ years. Joey and his guests frequently drop gems on the do's and don'ts in the mograph world. Highly recommend these podcasts for anyone who feels like they need to broaden their perspective on the industry, or just wants to listen to folks nerd out in general.
  • K.Nav
    Do your creative mind a favor and give this a listen.
    Listening to this podcast always gets the juices flowing to crack those creative nuts. We are all very lucky to have such an amazing resource like school of motion. And to top if off, if you're inspired by this podcast head over and take the SOM's design bootcamp, you and the rest of your design career will not be disappointed.
  • Brother Dee Jay
    Very Enlighting
    Joey's interviews provide industry insight while garnering very helpful tips for motion animators of all levels. Well done!
  • bernthis
    For the love of motion design
    I began my journey into Motion Design two years ago. I found School of Motion on the internet and I never looked back. Joey understands how to "speak" to all levels and his patience knows no bounds. He works tirelessy and his passion for motion design is palpable. In these podcasts he brings to the listener so many words of wisdom via his guests and himself. I confess I have listened to a couple of them more than once.
  • jamiedodger8
    Greatest Insight You Can Find
    Joey is a master of finding the most talented figures in the MoGraph industry and getting them to share unbelievable valuable knowledge with everyone. There is a so much gold in each and every episode.
  • nfyang
    Killer Motion Podcast
    Been a longtime listener of the School of Motion podcast when it was only on Soundcloud. Joey's interview style is easy to listen to and there are great "golden nugget" tips on how to level up in the mograph world.
  • jcolescoles

    An invaluable service to this industry. Joey provides insight that is hard to come by anywhere else aside from first hand experience.

    Always Inspired by School of Motion
    I've been listening to School of Motion religiously for about a year now. Even topics that seem like they won't apply to my specific situation have proved to be extremely insightful. I've learned so much about how the industry works, how my job fits into it, and I ALWAYS come away feeling super charged up and inspired to make myself a better artist by integrating the knowledge of these podcasts into my life.
  • MotionPointe

  • Crahmanti
    Great Podcasts
    Two of my all time favorite podcatsts are in this series. "Nobody is Born as Designer" with Lilian Darmono and "The Uncertain Future of MoGraph" with Chris Do. Full of helpful information, inspiration and personal stories. Joey asks pertinent industry questions and allows the interviewees to really speak to the topic, allowing the discussions to go into deep and meaningful territory.

    Love this podcast!
    I've loved every single episode so far, can't wait to hear more. Great blend of relevent subjects discussed, from industry practices and trends to unique uses of motion graphics and how it's spreading. It also captures accurately how welcoming and "open source" the motion graphics comunity is.
