In this course, Chris Meyer helps beginning After Effects
artists take their animations to the next level. Chris shows
how to refine animations to create elegant, coordinated
movements with the minimum number of keyframes-as well as
slam-downs, whip pans, and other attention-getters. Additional
movies show how to reverse-engineer existing animations, create
variations on a theme, and master other parts of the program.
Even though this course is designed for beginners, even veterans
should learn tricks that many experienced users are unaware of.
Chris' friendly running commentary lets you in on his mental
process as he works on an animation. Exercise files are included
with the course.
