    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.

    Very good for learning with no experience or for filling in the gaps from self teaching AfterEffects. Wish there were a little more complex concepts taught other than just moving shapes around on 2D space but you can only teach so much in a day. Got a little too quick towards the end when exporting projects and learning different compressions so it felt arbitrary to even explain. But overall good class and great teacher, perfect pace for learning from scratch and if you need to learn specifically how to make gifs and logos

    Kalika was a fantastic instructor bringing patience and humor to every lesson. Thanks to her, I have a strong grasp on the topics covered, am confident in my skills and capability to delve further into the app. Kalika is the rare teacher who goes the extra mile for her students because she's happy to. One suggestion note is that there are a few lessons that start off with importing or setting up in more than one way for the sake of learning how different modes function. I think the class would benefit from taking time in between the demonstrations to practice that part before continuing into the bulk of the lesson - I found that I forgot what the take-away was from that initial portion of the lesson by the time the demonstration was over, and conducting that portion on my own created an interruption between the demonstration and going through the section on my own.
