How to Make Dope Animated Loops Vol 1 (Skillshare)

Offered by Skillshare,

Have you ever wanted to learn how to make a cool loop in After Effects? Well then, you are in luck! In this skillshare class we will be animating a sneaky set of eyes peeking out of a letter, shape, or whatever your heart desires.

I’ll take you through the whole process - from setting up the file in illustrator or Photoshop - to animating in After Effects. Along the way you will learn many of my dirty little tricks that I have picked up in my travels as a professional motion designer. I have even deleted all my fancy plugins and be pretending that I use straight out-of-the-box After Effects so it will look just like yours! This class is aimed for beginners, so no knowledge of any programs is required.
