• Online Workshop: After Effects: Titles and Infographics

  Anonymous review on 5/29/2020
  Was hoping that it would focus on title design for film opening/end credits or for animating text on screen in videos and focus on infographics such as bar graphs, pie charts and data driven graphics like number counters, HUD displays and such. But his focus was scattered across showing as many project files as he could and skimming over steps while telling stories or making jokes. This course would be better titled as After Effects Tips and Tricks. A lot of time was wasted waiting for his computer to render the video in the app in order to see the animations. He should have rendered a .mp4 video of the animation before the workshop for us to open alongside the project so that we could preview what the animation will look like before he started diving into a project and showing us his steps. Sometimes we would open a project, follow him as he pointed out certain steps and then eventually we would see the end result and I thought the payoff was not worth all the time spent going over it. Some of the tips/tricks he mentioned were good to know, but you could learn those shortcuts/hot keys in an AE Fundamentals course. It felt like he focused on showing tricks as he showed his previous work and it could have been better if he chose a few really cool infographic or title styles and did a whole session on mastering that style/animation and then moving on to the next.
