Zola Media Tutorial 15 - Getting started in Motion Graphics

Bit of a different one today, just wanted to do a reply to the question I get asked the most: 'How do I get started in Motion Graphics?'

This is not a tutorial, more some general advice on the subject, hope you enjoy though and it answers any questions you might have if this is something you have been considering..

I love BossLogic. I knew when you started naming inspirations him or his group would come up. His friends are my friends. Much love for your work and respect for you, Zola.

Well done and all encompassing, James. I might add that learning these programs is like learning a foreign language. If you don't constantly keep with them (all the time) you will indeed forget them. I walked away from FCP for five months and lost a great deal of even the basics. This is a continual process.

@340PD I endorse this completely, putting it into practice is the best way to get this kind of stuff to stick
