Masterclass: Basics of Aftereffects (Skillshare)

Hey everyone, I made a bare-bones intro to Aftereffects (finally). I've been planning to make this for some time now. After this I plan to increase the difficulty level and add more photography and VFX elements into Aftereffects. Feel free to ask me any questions via email, skillshare or even my instagram : )

Make a city scape animation using the shape tool using my template file
Make sure to key frame the outline of the city and create a title animation together. I'm really passionate about city-scapes so I would love to see different cities in your example : )

  1. The Main Aftereffects file is called "Basics of AE"

This file has the main city scape animation, the cat tail animation, cat paw, the letter B animation, both the wiggle and the time expression (with the googly eye bead)

  1. I'm attaching two photoshop frame-by-frame animation files so you can see how I think while animating (Smear and Bouncing Ball) (but i animate that process using keyframes in Aftereffects
  2. The Textures (new) file is for the background textures that you can drag into your AE file and animate those textures in the background
