Motion Design with After Effects
 |
Whether you're a working After Effects professional or someone just getting started, there's always something more to learn. But after watching these tutorials, you'll be amazed at HOW much more
In this 5-hour course, I'll take you through 7 projects, to explore the true depths of After Effects. Combining serious AE chops with fun projects, I'll teach you how to bring a project from concept to completion.
The projects covered here are very much at the heart of motion graphic design, including show opens, logo animation and mixing graphic elements with live footage. After watching the training you'll be able to put together various concepts of After Effects such as parenting, expressions, shape layers, vectors and text animations techniques that can be easily adapted for your own use.

Reviews & Quotes:
"In a sea of techniques and tools, think of Eran Stern as the Jock Cousteau of After Effects. Just remember to bring an extra air tank. Once you get started, you won't want to come up for air! In one tutorial, Eran puts together a really cool cell phone commercial - and while his dancing skills are questionable, his ability to show you how to do professional broadcast-quality animation is dead-on".
Aharon Rabinowitz | All Bets Are Off
"Eran's DVD is a great source of tips and tricks for After Effects users at any level. I personally liked the "Liquid Logo" tutorial the most, since Eran used some effects that I never had a chance to use before. It's just as he says: Whether or not you're a beginner or a Professional there's always something new to learn. Enjoy this great Release and take as much as you want from it".

"Eran, You are one of the few trainers that is able to demystify After Effects and make it more approachable. Well done".
