Learn motion design and character rigging in After Effects with Tiago Castro’s methodology.
Move beyond scattered tutorials and build technique and creativity with a structured sequence.
If this sounds like you,
this is the place for you.
Your animation works, but it doesn’t impress
It’s missing the polish that elevates the quality of what you already create.
Every new character means starting from scratch
Without a rig, every frame is adjusted by hand, and deadlines don’t wait.
Your portfolio isn’t opening the doors it should
Without more complete projects, it’s hard to show your full potential.
You charge less than your work is worth
Out of insecurity, you accept low offers even knowing you could charge more.
Just starting out with no portfolio or clients yet? Don’t worry. Motion Master School gives you the full foundation from scratch before helping you build more complete projects.

What our students say
“Motion Master contributed to my growth in motion design. The course is well-structured, with direct content that’s extremely useful for technical and creative improvement. Today, I feel even more confident and prepared. I recommend it!”
“Tiago’s teaching style is very clear, engaging, and makes learning much easier. Each lesson is well-structured, making even the most complex concepts easy to understand. I recommend it to anyone who wants to start or grow in motion design.”
“I joined Motion Master over a year ago and I can only be grateful! The amazing modules sharpened my skills, and having Tiago Castro always available was a privilege. I owe my professional growth to Motion Master!”
“I joined Tiago Castro’s very first Motion Master class. I started from zero — I literally knew almost nothing about After Effects. Tiago was always very available, attentive to feedback, and super dedicated to helping students.”
“The course was an incredible experience! The content is well-structured. Tiago Castro’s teaching style is excellent, and the WhatsApp support is very helpful. Now I feel more prepared to work with motion, especially for anyone just starting out.”
What is Motion Master School?
Motion Master School was born from Tiago Castro’s own story. At 17, he worked as a construction laborer alongside his father, until he discovered motion design and, through dedication and persistence, became a professional with over 14 years in the industry.
Here, he doesn’t teach textbook theory. He teaches what he learned in the rush of real projects, meeting real client demands and deadlines. That’s why the courses combine technique, organization, and creativity, helping every student turn their ideas into more complete projects.
The content is drawn from real production experience, but organized so students can understand the process and apply the techniques to their own projects.

Frequently
Asked Questions
Do I need prior After Effects knowledge?
For Motion Master, no. The course is structured to take you from the basics to advanced topics, so you can start even if you’ve never opened After Effects. For Rig Master, it’s best to already have technical knowledge of After Effects, since the focus is on character rigging.
What’s the difference between Motion Master, Rig Master, and Combo Master?
Motion Master is structured to take you from the basics to more advanced motion design content in After Effects. Rig Master, in turn, focuses on building character rigs and also includes an extra module teaching character animation. Combo Master brings both full courses together. You can see the detailed comparison in the courses section above.
Is the course live or recorded?
It’s recorded. You get access to every lesson as soon as your purchase is confirmed, with no need to wait for a class to start or follow a fixed schedule.

Yes. Since there’s no fixed class or start date, you watch at your own pace, fitting your studies into whatever time you have in your routine, within your access period.
