After Effects Workshop with Dan Short

Filed under: Announcements, Education/Workshops, Independents Hall

Next Wednesday, July 30th Dan Short will be sharing his extensive knowledge of Adobe After Effects! This return of our workshop series from the spring is very exciting, and will be the first of lots of new events we’re getting fired up for this fall.

The event will run from 6:30-9pm. Please RSVP on Upcoming so we can have a headcount!

From Dan:
This tutorial is meant to introduce users who are already familiar with Adobe applications to After Effects, although I am sure that there will be elements that would be valuable to anyone interested in the program.  I will be showing how to animate a logo over a background using 3D space, cameras, keyframing, with pixel and vector graphics.  I know it sounds like a mouthful, but I’ll be breaking it down and doing my best to answer any questions you might have.  If it sounds over complicated, don’t panic.  I am a nerd at heart, and it is in our nature to make things seem more complicated than they actually are.

This “Logo” type of demonstration is a common introduction into After Effects because it incorporates so many of the programs abilities.  If this session is received well, I will build more tutorials based on the specific needs and wants of the Indy Hall community.  I look forward to seeing you there.

If anyone would like to get a familiarity with the program before the tutorial, or would like to work along with me, I will be supplying my files to anyone interested.  You can also download a demo version of the program from the Adobe site.

    Would love to get those source files. I missed the first couple of minutes and would love to see how you prepared your illustrator elements.

    Great class by the way.

    just wanted to thank you for having Dan do his thing with After Effects last night. Dan’s obvious love for what he does made things really inspirational. i would love to attend more of these types of events. please keep me posted.

    selfish thought… an introduction (much like last night) on Motion. maybe some comparison between Motion and After Effects?

    thanks again.
