Michael Wohl’s Motion PowerStart is a comprehensive training course for Motion containing three clear, fun, and practical hands-on tutorials plus a section on integrating Motion with other Apple programs. It was written by Michael Wohl, a member of the official Motion documentation team, along with Josh Mellicker of DVcreators.net.

Everyone knows that we learn best, and retain the most of what we’re taught, when we learn in the context of actually creating real-world projects. We also learn best when we’re having fun, and those two concepts form the basis for the style of training contained on this unique DVD-ROM. In three practical lessons you’ll learn how to master all the major features of Motion, learning in an incremental, intuitive way.

Starting with a simple project creating a TV bumper, you’ll get your feet wet gently and before you know it, you will be swimming confidently, with a solid understanding of the Motion workflow. From there, lesson two takes you deeper into the Motion aquarium. You’ll be using Motion’s powerful and unique tools such as Behaviors, Particle Systems, and Keyframing.

Finally, in lesson three you go out into open water, divemaster Mike at your side, and you’ll build a beautiful DVD menu, utilizing the skills learned in the earlier lessons, but now taking advantage of some of Motion’s most powerful features, including the Keyframe Editor, Parameter Behaviors, Masks and Custom Text Sequence Effects.

By the end of the course, you’ll have the skills and the confidence to create your own incredible title sequences, DVD menus, animated logos, and other motion graphics projects and best of all, you’ll have fun doing it!

Most importantly, though, you’ll learn by doing; by facing and overcoming the creative obstacles you will likely encounter in your own work, and understanding why the software works like it does, rather than just memorizing how it works. You’re not just going to learn how to use Motion, we predict you’re going to become addicted to it’s surprisingly fun interface. And all the while you’ll also be learning the good habits and common techniques of motion graphics professionals.

Michael Wohl’s Motion PowerStart is presented in the DVcreators.net next-generation “chunkalized” learning environment, light-years beyond any other teaching method. Unlike books and other DVDs, in Michael Wohl’s Motion PowerStart you will actually build real-world projects yourself, hands-on, step-by-step, with your virtual instructor explaining each concept, tool, and technique clearly and concisely as you go.

Michael Wohl’s Motion PowerStart is the world’s best learning experience for mastering Motion’s unique and sophisticated motion graphics creation environment, whether you are a professional motion graphics artist, editor or new to the field.
