Program Overview
This course sits at the intersection most creative courses miss: editing and motion design craft on one side, actual creative coding on the other. Students learn professional video editing, motion graphics, animation principles, then cross into p5.js and Processing, where art is written in code and no two runs look the same, and finish with Blender 3D and the content craft that makes work travel online.
The toolkit is free-first and honest: DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, Blender, p5.js and Canva cover the entire syllabus at zero software cost, with Adobe After Effects taught as the industry-standard option for students who have access to it. Every week produces finished work, and the course ends with a portfolio capstone and a final exam that decides the certificate.
The pace is honest: five months at two live classes a week plus three to four hours of practice, with a sixth month in hand for students who need more time. Homework after every class, a mixed challenge at the end of each month, and a final exam with a free retest after revision. Real craft, real portfolio, depth over dopamine.
What Makes This Program Different
- Creative coding is real here: p5.js and Processing get a full month, generative art most animation courses never touch
- Free-first toolkit: DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, Blender, p5.js and Canva cover the whole syllabus; After Effects taught as the industry option, never a paywall
- Craft over hacks: animation principles, typography and rhythm, the fundamentals that survive every platform trend
- Every week ends rendered: finished edits, loops, sketches and scenes, building one coherent portfolio
- An honest 5-month arc with a sixth month in hand: nobody is rushed
- Real assessment: weekly homework, monthly mixed challenges, and a final exam that decides the certificate, with a free retest after revision
