This class is made for the beginner motion designer who is looking to learn more about Adobe Photoshop and After Effects, and how to apply these skills in a professional setting.

In this class you will learn how to animate a still photograph.

We'll start in Photoshop where we will learn how to use the Pen tool to separate the photograph and create a layer mask.  Then we will paint the skater out using the Clone Stamp Tool and the Patch tool.

We'll bring these layers into After Effects and convert them to 3D layers and animate them using a camera.

Finally, we will animate some text using the text tool and 3D layers.

In addition, throughout the course I will be supplying my working projects so that you can use them as a downloadable resource.

At the end of this course, you'll be able to animate a still photograph using these techniques.

I never used AE so wanted things better explained like going to beginning and end of composition quickly since there is no home or end key that i could find. And for some reason when I went to add a scale change it showed all teh other transform layers that i wasn't utlizing which made the entire timeline thick and harder to navigate, but the way she did it was simple and only added 1 adjustment transform layer under. anyway simple but annoying things like that would have been helpful to make sure everyone is catching up.

The topic and contents were good; nothing too complex for showing what is needed for doing the parallax effect. I found myself struggling with the teacher`s inconsistency of information and spoken tutoring - i had to turn off the way of thinking i have had about tutorials and their usual pipelines in order to follow through this one. A tough one but i made it :) Still a good one.

The tutor is good on the particular topic, but could better.
A new student can not understand because so many things skipped.
Those how familiar with AE for a long time that student can understand.

Not a course really. More like a YouTube video. Took way too long to get to the point as she was always flitting around with the mouse looking for the right thing to use and then changing her mind. Need to speed up the masking out of skater to 15 seconds not 5 minutes. Idea is good but could have been done in a total of 5 minutes if time had been taken to make a plan before starting the video. Sorry, I am not trying to be harsh. Seems like a knowledgeable and skilled editor, but not really an instructor, yet.
