"Adding motion graphics to our marketing content was becoming essential, but I had no prior animation experience. The Motion Graphics Basics course at Bildwerk Studio was a fantastic introduction. Max explained the core principles so clearly and showed us how to use the software effectively without getting bogged down in overly technical details. I now feel confident creating simple animations for social media ads and explainer videos, which has been a huge asset to my team. The practical exercises were particularly helpful in building muscle memory with the tools."
