Per Holmes | Hollywood Camera Work
"....The DVD is full of great techniques and tips. But of course that’s what I expected from Eran. In general, his tutorials are always educationally sound and good fun - that’s why he was one of very few people I asked to contribute to the AE podcast back when I was a part of it..."
Aharon Rabinowitz | All Bets Are Off
"... A solid investment that will broaden your After Effects skills... As an advanced user I’ve found the tutorials worthwhile; I’m about half way through the 8 hours of lessons and have already used some techniques in my own projects..."
