In this interview we talk about Jake's path through the industry and how he ended up becoming such a successful online teacher. We also talk about Explainer Camp, which is a course unlike any other and something we are incredibly excited about.

Jake Bartlett: Like I said, I was there for almost five years so I had worked with lots of producers and at that company we had a different client every month so we had different teams coming in every month, basically. So when a producer came in and out and they worked with me sometimes they would like me and they want to pull me on to a job that they're doing for somebody else. My name basically just got passed around and I started picking up side work. This was probably three years into that career and I just started working nights and weekends and enjoyed the extra income and then, at the same time, I discovered this website called Skillshare through my wife who's a graphic designer hand letterer. She found it because of the hand lettering course that was going to be released.

Jake Bartlett: Yeah. Man, this has been an amazing project. It's called Explainer Camp, and I've pretty much been working on it with you all year. It's going to be a project based course for School of Motion, and it's gonna cover, basically, the entire production process of making an explainer video. We even have a theme song that B. Grandinetti wrote and it's awesome, you have to hear it. In it we say that we go from script to final render and that's true.

As the teacher, I'm gonna have a client, and I get a script from them and a brief and over the course of the entire class, it's gonna be me making my explainer video from coming up with the budget and the schedule and sketching thumbnails and concepting, all the way through the animation to the very final render with sound design and everything. As students, you're gonna have your own client and you're gonna be following along with me. As I'm teaching you, you're gonna be implementing what I'm teaching and you'll have that one project throughout the entire course and by the end of it you're gonna have a completed professional looking explainer video that you can showcase in your portfolio or your demo reel and it will be a finished piece.

Joey Korenman: Yeah, you did a great job of explaining it. One of the biggest tenets of our courses at School of Motion is we want to make them real world applicable as much as possible. This is the first course where we really have just gone crazy trying to simulate a real world experience as much as possible. We've got a fake client, we've got ... We actually recorded the initial phone call with the client and then you kinda break it down so students can learn strategies to deflect. You should never talk about budget on the first call, things like that.

Joey Korenman: We'll edit it in. But let me ask you this. I'm super excited about this course, obviously, as I know you are, but what is the whole in the education market that this class is filling. Why did you think that this is the class that you should make.

Jake Bartlett: I think that, with a lot of classes, even on School of Motion, there's lots of fundamental courses and those are super important and that's what drew me to School of Motion in the first place because I didn't have an education in animation principles and I never learned how to do character animation. Those are extremely important courses.

A project based course like this where we're actually doing client simulation and you're getting to see phone calls and e-mail conversations going back and forth, that's something that I'd never seen before online. Being taught how to handle client interaction and how to come up with a budget and things like that, part of the process of making the explainer video that you probably were never educated in.

We're approaching this course as you know how to animate. You know the fundamentals, you know ... You might have even made explainer videos before. It's not gonna be something that's brand new to you but the rest of the process of basically being able to handle a client and knowing how to present things, how to word things, I haven't seen that anywhere online before. I think that this is gonna be a really exciting course to be able to present that material to students.

I'm assuming that everybody listening to this podcast knows School of Motion, there's tons of free content on the website and then there's amazing courses that you can pay for that are super in depth. The amount of work that goes into one of those courses is 100 times what goes into a Skillshare class or a YouTube video.

Joey Korenman: Well, you're making me think. This is something ... I kind of exist in this bubble where, like, I don't really ... I pay attention, of course, to YouTube and Skillshare and all of ... And honestly, I'm saying this completely truthfully, I don't see any of them as competitors.

If you're trying to teach something like how to approach follow through in After Effects, that's not really a 5 minute video. So certain platforms are gonna cater to making it entertaining and keeping [inaudible 00:48:27] 5 minutes, that's not our metric. Our metric is what are the reviews at the end of the course.

I have to say that one of the most exciting things that I've seen in the past 2 to 4 years is the explosion of online resources to learn just about anything. With that explosion also comes a ton of opportunity for artists who are looking to build a little passive income. We're always looking for new instructors to work on courses with us so if you've got the teaching bug please reach out to us at [email protected] and let us know what you'd like to teach and vice versa also reach out and tell us what you'd like to learn.

I started taking Jake Bartlett's "The Beginner's Guide to Adobe After Effects" course on Skillshare and I honestly have been blown away by the amount of value I've received from it in such a short amount of time. Most probably already know Jake Bartlett (he seems like an industry star per my research), but for those who don't, his beginner is really thorough and will take you through the basics of After Effects. If you're like me, After Effects has so much going on in it's UI (like most Adobe products), it can seem daunting. But, Jake really takes you through deep details of using AE. So far, the course has been really great and making me feel less inadequate about learning how to animate. This is not an affiliate post for his course, but I do want to leave a link for those who want to find it and I hope it blesses you like it's been blessing me. -Beginners-Guide-to-Adobe-After-Effects/1758053045/projects?via=custom-lists

I do, however have a link for a 30-day free trial link for Skillshare, and just so that I don't come across as spammy or affiliate-markety (lol), comment below and I'll pass you the link. I just want as many people that are learning just like me, to be able to experience the course as possible.

This course is specifically designed for motion designers. Its structured, intuitive format propels your skills at warp speed, equipping you with advanced techniques and providing decades worth of expert knowledge to blast you ahead of the curve.

? 10 personal video critiques of your class projects from Jake

? Direct access to Jake for support during the course

? Access to a private community of students to share work, exchange feedback and support each other

? Live Streams for student spotlights, project breakdowns, and more!

Absolutely! You're exactly the person I designed this course for. Even if you've never set a single keyframe, or you're just having trouble grasping how to do things properly, you'll gain all the knowledge needed to start building your own motion design projects.

I've structured the course into 12 weeks of content, but you'll have access to all of it at once and can complete it at your own pace. Think of my structure as a suggested pacing, but take as much or as little time as you need to progress through the course material.

Yes! This course is designed in a way that no matter what your skill level is, you'll get something out of it. Even if you're an experienced After Effects user, you'll benefit from watching me create all of the same assignments you do as the student, learning my approach to a wide variety of motion design projects.

I've created over 30 courses teaching students how to use After Effects and become better motion designers. I also have a YouTube channel called Jake In Motion, where I create motion design tutorials regularly.

As I dive more and more into animation (and motion design), I want to share my journey and my learnings. I've been going through Jake Bartlett's skillshare course (beginner's guide to after effects) and I take notes along the way. I don't know if me sharing what I'm learning will be valuable per se to anyone here, but I just want to get what I'm learning out there. Here's a couple of notes that I took down yesterday (I have more from previous days but I don't think they're really worth sharing): 2351a5e196
