Your Copilot Has Arrived: Andrew Kramer

Your Copilot Has Arrived: Andrew Kramer

Author: School of Motion: Design & Animation Training for MoGraph Artists September 9, 2020 Duration: 1:54:07

In the wild early days of the Internet, Motion Design was a much smaller community. Unless you had proper training, it was easy to feel overwhelmed by the learning curve. With many people struggling to get their careers off the ground, one person decided to be their copilot. Andrew Kramer is synonymous with Motion Design. As an artist, a teacher, and a friendly cohort, Andrew inspired countless people to join this community. For the 100th episode of our podcast, we are incredibly proud to share his story, his wisdom, and his wit. Grab a seat, because your copilot has arrived.


Tune into the School of Motion Podcast for a genuine look behind the scenes of the motion design industry. Created by the team at School of Motion, this series goes far beyond simple software tutorials, though you’ll certainly find deep dives into tools like After Effects and Cinema 4D. The real value lies in conversations with the people shaping the field-from working animators and 3D artists to producers and studio owners. Each episode explores the intricate balance between creative artistry and practical business, offering insights that are as useful for freelancers as they are for those leading creative teams. Whether you’re firmly established in your career or just 3D-curious, this podcast provides a thoughtful space to learn about craft, workflow, and sustaining a creative practice. It’s a resource that feels like having a direct line to the collective wisdom of a vibrant community, all dedicated to the art of making things move.
