Course Description

This course enables you to transform your motion graphics skills from basic to advanced usind Adobe After Effects. By following along in these easy to follow lessons you will be turning out professional animations in no time at all!

Motion Graphics is a fantastic medium for communicating information, however your work will never stand out from the crowd unless you really know what your doing. By completing this course you will build your skills up and make your work stand out from the crowd.

This course is structured through bitesize teaching followed by an assignment you must complete. This ensures that as well as getting taught how to create more polished animations, you re also encouraged to put these skills into practice. This means that instead of using the skills after being shown, you are also given the opportunity to go and utilise these skills for yourself.

There is an extensive amount of project files provided with this course and these are the assets you will be working with and animating. Included in this course is also many PDF handouts which walk you through certain steps and also provide more theoretical animation knowledge.

The first half of the course looks at using and implementing After Effects complex animation tools. The second half of the course looks at the 12 animation principles and how we can incorporate some of hem into our motion graphics to make it a stronger more organic piece.

There is also 2 bonus lectures the end of the course as a special thank you for purchasing this course.

If you are purchasing this course I do strongly encourage you to use the Q+A board if needed and also to tweet your final animations to me on twitter or share them in my facebook group. This is an extra way you can get feedback from myself and other on how to further improve and progress your skills.
