onion what? 

Onion skinning is a term for a technique used in creating 2D animations to see several frames at once. In traditional animation, the individual frames of a movie were drawn on thin onionskin paper over a light source. The animators would put the previous and next drawings exactly beneath the working drawing so that they could draw the 'in-between' to give a smooth motion.

We’re changing the way motion design education is done

We’re changing the way motion design education is done

Motion design education is broken. Colleges and universities can no longer keep up with the rapid pace of technological evolution and its impact on society. Digital media is too broad and dynamic to be wrapped up in a traditional curriculum.

This is why we founded onionskin, an innovative motion design program. Onionskin is tailored to and driven by each student’s professional goals and personal needs. It’s a place to hack motion design secrets with the help of industry experts, mentors and your fellow students.

Student-centered

You’ll be working on real-world briefs, and you’ll acquire skills in line with current and future industry needs. Your learning won’t end here. You'll choose your guns and how to tackle a project.

Community-based

The journey will be tailored to you and driven by you. But that doesn’t mean you have to take it alone! We're building a motion design community based on fellow students, mentors, and anyone passionate about motion design.

Industry-led

Industry hardened mentors will share their personal stories to inspire you. Change is the only constant, so we’ll give you insight on how to adapt to new situations and challenges.

Practice-oriented

Real-world briefs are just a part of the story. You will learn to organize your assets and optimize your workflows so you wouldn't freak-out when working on a client's gig.
