This was an insightful introduction to motion design course.
The course was well laid out and was easy to understand and follow as our tutor made every class interesting and enlightening.
The practical approach ensured that i understood what i was being taught and i totally loved to practice.
I would totally recommend this if you are a beginner and you want to get your feet wet in the motion design world.
Nacademy has been of great in my motion design career, from the actual skill, to exposure to wonderful motion designers and opening my mind to the great possibilities in motion deisgn, finding Nacademy in 2020 was one of the best things that happened to me that year
You know that feeling you get when you eventually possess the skill to perform a self-presumed difficulty after a long period of doubt, I know you know; that was exactly what I felt when I finished the Motion design kickstart course, a mountain leveled, possibilities unleashed, horizon widened feeling. Just reach out to N. Academy, Learn motion. Thank me later.
The institute just planted stuff in my subconscious that won't allow me watch TV normally again. Every movement on my TV Screen suddenly makes more sense and comes alive, all thanks to the astute teaching abilities of the facilitators. My Mind is now more open than ever before, I've been enlightened with different dimensions of Creativity!
This is money well invested for me
Learning Motion Design was one of my goals for 2021, I am so glad I was able to achieve this goal through the help of N.Academy. The learning process was simply amazing, I couldn't ask for a better teacher or school. N.academy has equipped me for the task ahead, they have made my motion design journey start very seamless. | got value for money spent, I met very creative minds at the academy. | couldn't have asked for a better place or time to have learned motion design.
Learning Motion design at N.Academy shifted my view from point A to point Z, it has inspired me to think beyond my strength as a designer, also to develop the best solution to design and communication problems using motion design.
I am hereby applauding the N.Academy team for a job well done. Thanks
N. Academy, for me, is more than a motion design institute; I found a family in N. Academy; new bonds, new relationships.
The class itself was worth more than the price paid, I enjoyed every bit of it. The facilitator is so down to earth, the classroom was so conducive. N. Academy is among the best things that
happened to me this year.
