Chris Meyer helps beginning After Effects artists take their animations to the next level. Don't settle for mechanical movements, awkward timing, or puzzles that have you chasing your tail around the screen; Chris will show you how to refine your animations to create elegant, coordinated movements with the minimum number of keyframes – as well as slam-downs, whip pans, and other attention-getters. Additional movies challenge you to reverse-engineer existing animations, create variations on a theme, and master other parts of the program. Even though this course is designed for beginners, you will learn tricks that many experienced users are unaware of. Chris' friendly running commentary lets you in on his mental process as he works on an animation.
