The course really introduces a lot of concepts in an organized way so that by the end of class you are very comfortable with navigating in After Effects and applying effects, and keyframe animations.

Learned so much! I was afraid of working in After Effects because at first glance, it's a very complicated/intimidating program. But, Laura was very clear, super helpful, and explained everything well!

Learned a lot in one day! This was a great basic After Effects class. Taking screenshots and notes is helpful so it's easier to remember everything, since it's a lot to take in as After Effects has a complex UI. You really need a class for this program, because it isn't intuitive for the most part.

Came into After Effects class extremely intimidated to learn the program. It's a must to know to support a Brand team. The class was so well taught, everything paced and explained. Small size allows for comfort asking even the smallest questions and to leave feeling empowered to start using the program. Even had a moment to review real-life projects and get immediate insight on what I can start designing.

I really enjoyed this course! I've always felt that After Effects was a little too scary to get into, but the instructor made it so easy to understand and follow along. I really appreciated her thoroughness with explaining how to set up our files and useful keyboard shortcuts. It was great being able to make our animations alongside her, and I feel comfortable and ready to tackle my own animations soon!
