Hear From Industry Professionals
“Jake is an amazing teacher. One of the things I love about Jake is that he explains why you're doing what you're doing. He also teaches you that there is more than one solution to the problem that you're facing, which is great because while he's teaching you, he's giving you independence so that you can solve your own problems, and you don't have to rely on him as a crutch.”

“Jake makes everything so digestible for any skill level. So you can be an absolute beginner and be able to follow along, or you can be someone like myself who's been in the industry for a while, and you're going to find plenty of stuff to improve your work.”

“Jake is, in my humble opinion, one of the best educators on YouTube or any platform. His teaching style is that you will understand not only the course material, but you'll also understand the fundamental principles underlying whatever it is that you are learning.”

Hey, I'm Jake Bartlett
I live in sunny Denver, Colorado with my wife, two kids, and a Dalmatian named Pixel. I've been working professionally as a Motion Designer since 2010, and teaching people how to use After Effects for more than a decade.
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.
Teaching is my passion, and it shows through my videos. I'm genuinely excited to teach you and have a great track record of breaking down technical workflows and creative processes into easy-to-understand videos in a fun and engaging way. I hope to leave a positive impact on your motion design journey.
