clear and to the point. things i thought I knew i didn't. these small details definitely helps. I have slight adhd also and the pace in which its explained really allows me to keep up with the lessons with minimal rewind. I was really dreading learning about camera in 3d space but after his lesson on cameras, I no longer fear the complexity. It was explained to me in a very simple, easily digestible way.

I have learnt to use After Effects, which means the course did what it was intended to do. However there is a problem with the 3D text exercise - the file provided is the finished assignment. On ignoring that file and doing it myself from scratch, I ran into a problem with animating the camera. It seems you can only have two keyframes for a camera as altering subsequent keyframes changes the position and orientation of the previous keyframes. I didn't expect that at all, and it seems like a bad a feature of the programme. Alternatively, I just haven't understood something, or there's another feature that I could use which would solve the issue but it wasn't covered. I'm yet to finish the other exercises so there could be more issues like this. Perhaps further testing of exercises with users would help with the course design.

Such an easy to follow course which helped to demystify an often intimidating application and make it easy to understand and use thanks to plain english and step by step guidance. My After Effects knowledge and confidence has increased hugely after taking this course.
