Lenny – Motion Creators

Here’s What You Get:

Lenny – Motion Creators is a practical motion design and video-editing education platform created by Lenny Bartholomäus, designed to take creators from beginner-level editing skills to producing professional, viral short-form content and eventually selling their creative services to brands and clients. The program combines structured courses, real project breakdowns, downloadable project files, software training, live feedback, expert sessions, and a private creator community.

Program Overview

Motion Creators is built around a learn-by-rebuilding approach. Instead of only explaining editing theory, Lenny breaks down actual projects and shows how the final effects, transitions, compositing, motion graphics, and visual storytelling were created. Students can then open the corresponding project files and recreate the edits themselves.

The program covers both the creative and business sides of becoming a professional motion creator, including editing, motion design, VFX, color grading, compositing, content creation, positioning, client acquisition, pricing, and brand deals.

Core Curriculum

1. Creator Kickstart & Foundations

• Introduction to the Motion Creators workflow
• Understanding how viral edits are constructed
• Short-form video fundamentals
• Creative thinking and visual storytelling
• Setting up the required software and workflow
• Beginner-friendly progression from the first edit toward advanced projects

2. Editing Toolkit

The program provides training across several major creative applications:

• Adobe After Effects

• Photoshop
• Compositing and VFX workflows

The current program advertises 100+ hours of tutorials, progressing from beginner material to more advanced editing and motion-design techniques.

3. Viral Edit Breakdowns

One of the central components is the breakdown of Lenny’s own viral projects.

Examples include:

• G-Wagon Transformation
• McLaren Shrink Reel
• Lens Flip
• Lambo
• Map Zoom
• Other short-form VFX and motion projects

The breakdowns are accompanied by downloadable project files, allowing students to inspect how the actual edits were constructed rather than simply watching a finished video.

4. Motion Graphics & VFX

Students learn practical techniques for creating visually sophisticated short-form content, including:

• Motion graphics
• 3D elements
• Visual effects
• Compositing
• Transitions
• Camera movement
• Object transformations
• Color grading
• Visual storytelling
• Short-form video effects

The emphasis is on recreating techniques used in real-world projects rather than learning isolated software functions.

Motion Creators also includes a business-focused section designed for editors who want to turn their creative skills into income.

Topics include:

• Positioning yourself as a creative professional
• Building a portfolio
• Finding clients
• Outreach

The official course description specifically identifies this as a progression from making your first edit toward landing paid clients and closing brand deals.
