Curious about how filmmakers, animators, and graphic designers create moving 3-D graphics and visual special effects?

Join us for a no-experience necessary introductory workshop on using Adobe After Effects, one of the key industry standard software programs for animators, special effects artists, and graphic designers alike. In this class, you will learn the foundational skills of motion graphics through the completion of several mini projects under the guidance of our instructor. These projects are aimed at gaining a core proficiency in using After Effects and demystifying its main features. The class will cover the fundamental terms and skills, including motion tracking, masking and using the Roto Brush, using the Puppet Pin Tool, Luma and Chroma Mattes, and other aspects of basic 2-D and 3-D animation. Both live-action and animated footage will be provided and used in the projects, and drawing skills are not needed. After Effects and motion graphics can be a daunting topic–don’t miss this opportunity to learn from our talented teacher the basics of this complex industry!
