    This class is perfect if you're looking for an easy, but in-depth introduction to After Effects.
  • Wen Lung
    I've already messed around with After Effects to create little animations, so I didn't expect to learn a whole lot new in a six hour workshop. Totally wrong; I feel so much more empowered to create more complicated animation projects.
  • Jane Crager
    A learning experience that is personal and that actually WORKS, I feel equipped with the right skills I can use on my own!
  • Lisa Keller
    After Effects in a Day was awesome. We started by watching, then doing. I like that the approach was exercise-based, as opposed to going through every single tool and interface (like some other trainings I’ve been to). It’s my preferred way to learn, and I came away learning more than I anticipated!
  • Victoria Greiss
    After Effects In a Day is a great beginner class to learn simple animation basics. Great variety of exercises in the training book. Kalika is a fun and entertaining instructor and she shared some of her own work which is amazing and inspiring!
