After Effects users often times get intimidated by the "Iron Man" style futuristic HUD animations, I'm here to tell you it's nothing to be afraid of! This motion graphics effect is something anyone can do with very little After Effects experience!
So join me in this course to dissect an animation that looks super complicated and making it super simple!
In this class we will learn and experiment with:
Turning boring shape layers into something visually interesting
Virtual camera animations
After Effects expressions to save you hours of animating time.
This is an introductory course and I will be explaining everything step by step. However, you may need to have some After Effects knowledge to understand basic functionality and layout of the software.
What makes me qualified to teach you?
I’m Sam! I’m a professional motion graphics artist. I’ve worked for a Major League Baseball team for 2 years. Had my work viewed in stadiums full of 40,000+ people every night in the summer.
My job is unique and I am thankful for the teachers who have taught me After Effects motion graphics. And I want to pay it forward to you by teaching you the motion graphics techniques that I have learned of the years!
