Introduction to After Effects
Workshop
$85 members / $135 non-members
Course led in French by Vincent Laquerre
This beginner-level course is intended for those with little or no experience of the After Effects animation software. Practical exercises will supplement theoretical instruction, allowing participants to put theory into practice using computers provided by Vidéographe.
The versatility of the After Effects program allows media arts practitioners to become more independent in the production of their work. Using this software, participants will be introduced to the basics of cache, and shown how to animate text and add camera moves to still photographs, among other things.
The course will cover the following areas:
- Tools and interface
- How to structure a project
- The basics of animation
- Keyboard shortcuts and strategies for working efficiently
- After Effects tools for typographic animation
- Rendering and exportation basics
The instructor will provide participants with a bank of images to use in practical exercises and computers will be provided, subject to availability.
This course is given in line with Vidéographe’s mandate to support artistic creation, and is available to both members and non-members. While registration is open to all, places are limited.
