Protopie trigger to scene 212/20/2023 ![]() Joey: Issara, I feel like we're already buddies. My name is Sergio Ramirez and I'm a School of Motion graduate. I will recommend animation with them to anyone who wants to have a solid foundation in their animation career. More than the technical part of it, it's about developing yourself as an animator so you can improve your work in any area that you want. What I got from this course is a deep understanding of the art of animation, how to send a message and create an impact through movement. ![]() I'm from Colombia and I took the animation bootcamp from School of Motion. Sergio Ramirez: My name is Sergio Ramirez. But first, say hello to one of our amazing School of Motion alumni. So sit back and say hello to Issara Willenskomer. I know you're going to dig this one and learn a ton. ![]() This episode has something for everyone, including a cameo from GMUNK and a special link that we will put in our show notes that Issara set up just for the School of Motion audience. We get super dorky in this episode and talk about using After Effects for prototyping, some of the new software alternatives that are out there, and we even grapple with some of the ethical questions that Issara thinks about quite a bit while doing his work. In this interview, you'll learn about mental models, skeuomorphism and about the companies and jobs that are out there for motion designers who are looking to use their skills on the cutting edge of product development. He's become a leading expert on the subject and has an incredible talent for articulating the principles behind good UX. Issara runs, a site that focuses on animation for user experience, a niche that is growing very rapidly and offers some incredible career opportunities for animators. When they need to train their UX designers to understand the principles of motion, they call Issara Willenskomer, our guest today on the podcast. Companies like Facebook and Google and Amazon are betting really big on the power of animation to help their users have a better, more thoughtful experience with their products. Joey: Our industry is expanding like gangbusters, and one area that seems to be exploding with new opportunities is the world of motion for UX or user experience. But if we start to use mental models as a starting point, all of a sudden, those options, the more obvious one becomes more clear and the value it brings becomes much more apparent. Issara: So to me, when you talk about partnership with UX, that's the value is, what is the UX from screen A to screen B, what are the user's mental models, and how can the motion reinforce that rather than contradict it? Because granted, if we had that A screen and B screen and gave it to your people, we could come up with like 30 different ways to get from A to B using motion. Joey: This is the School of Motion podcast.
