Average course rating across all modules
I spent two years watching YouTube tutorials. Keyframe's curriculum did in 6 weeks what those tutorials couldn't do in two years. The Graph Editor module alone changed how I think about time.
Simone Oduya
Senior Designer, Figma
I was losing pitches to motion designers. After Module 7, I became the motion designer. My day rate went from ¥45,000 to ¥95,000 in four months.
Brett Nakamura
Motion Freelancer, Tokyo
I enrolled my entire design team. Three months later, we're producing motion in-house instead of briefing agencies. The ROI on this course is embarrassingly obvious.
