This here blogger made a video.
As proud of it as I was, it was not amazing. But, should you want to delve into hot looking motion graphics you can't really go further than the Media Design School's Visual Effects Department.
So, off I went to have a chat with Steve and Damon!
Steve Dorner is the Course Leader for Visual Effects and the man with skills to help me.
What was the verdict?
Well, they were very gracious and helpful but my beloved video came back from their expert gaze with a solid 1 out of 10 rating.
I got that 1 point for the 'concept' and my feedback included a slow and sad “Hey, great effort though! Yeah...” and the very useful “You may want to pay a little more attention to your type treatment there” from Damon. I believe the word 'unreadable' may have been thrown around...
Thankfully, Steve hooked me up with some pretty cool stuff to look at and I walked out of there with a stack of impressive work from some of the VFX students.

If you aspire to make stuff as good as this, then you need to check out the Diploma of Visual Effects & Motion Graphics or the Bachelor of Art & Design and you could go from this...
