About the club
A place to question ourselves
tMSC was born out of the need to find valuable resources and foster meaningful discussions that go beyond the technical aspects of motion design. Founded by Esteban González, a self-taught motion designer from Montevideo, the club started as an excuse to share as many resources as possible (posts, newsletter issues, worksheets, exercises) and grew into a place for the conversations that are harder to find: feedback, doubt, and growth beyond the technical.
The club emphasizes that motion design is not just for rock stars or top artists, but a profession with diverse paths to success. Its aim is simple: create a space where motion designers can challenge themselves and grow, professionally and personally, posing questions rather than selling answers.
Recurring threads
The ideas that come back, letter after letter.
- 01
Practice over tutorials
Watching is not the same as learning. Short, bounded exercises beat one more tutorial every time.
- 02
Fundamentals over tools
Easing, timing, contrast, hierarchy. Tools are exhausting, foundations are permanent.
- 03
Small and consistent
The gym metaphor: short sessions, no pressure for perfection. The work no one sees shapes your skill.
- 04
Community and real connection
Real conversations over algorithm-driven encounters. Motion design shouldn't feel this lonely.
- 05
Transparency
Uncertainty, mistakes, and real life are part of the voice, not something to edit out.
You don't need more tutorials. You need more practice.
