Fundamentals of Animation in After Effects

Fundamentals of Animation in After Effects

“Thank you for learning with me throughout this course. It’s a real privilege to be able to teach people about something that is so exciting for me and such an important part of my life. I hope you enjoyed it and I managed to share a bit of my passion for design with you. I left my reel as an attached file so that you can go back to it whenever you need. Now, it is your turn to create your own showreel with all the techniques and skill you have learnt in the course. Add together all the sections you have been working on in every unit and export the final result. Share it by clicking on "Create your project". You can also include a short text explaining the process you followed and any issues you encountered or things you learned along the way. If you still feel like there is a lot to learn, then I completely agree. Even after over 12 years working in this software I’m still learning new things every day and that’s one of my favourite things about it. I’ll leave you with this… There is no substitute for focused time and look how much you’ve managed to accomplish in this three-hour course. Three of the best ways that have helped me to stop procrastinating and get stuff done is: • Write a list - I write a list of what I want to achieve the day before as I’m going to bed so that when I wake up, I know exactly what needs to be done. • Using a timer - I use an app called “Bear Focus Timer”. I work intensely for 50 minutes and Relax for 10 minutes, have a coffee, check some emails or meditate, then simply repeat this as many times as you would like. • Reading Eat That Frog - I can’t say just how powerful it is to take charge or your own time and find out what exactly it is that you as an individual want out of your life and design career. I love the creative community and it’s always great to see other designers lift each other with positive comments and help each other out if they get stuck along the way and I’ll be responding to questions that help make your journey through my course that little bit smoother. This course is designed to be super efficient so there will be techniques that aren’t mentioned in this course. If you have a tip that you found useful that isn’t mentioned here then post it in the comments section so we can all learn together. Thank you and keep creating!”

Partial transcription of the video

“In this final lesson, I'll talk you through our final project where we've created all these different assets from the different lessons we've learned to create a really standout showreel. Thank you for learning with me throughout this course. It's been a real privilege to kind of share my knowledge and my passion throughout the design industry and just animation in general. I love working in these efficient ways and really being selective about the projects and lessons that I teach. And if you still feel like there's a lot to learn, like I completely agree. Like I've been using After Effect...”
