Course Overview
Learn how to create motion graphics in After Effects like what you see in Iron Man, Star Wars or other action movies
After Effects users often times get intimidated by the "Iron Man" style futuristic HUD animations, I'm here to tell you it's nothing to be afraid of! This motion graphics effect is something anyone can do with very little After Effects experience!
So join me in this course to dissect an animation that looks super complicated and making it super simple!
In this class we will learn and experiment with:
Turning boring shape layers into something visually interesting
Virtual camera animations
After Effects expressions to save you hours of animating time.
This is an introductory course and I will be explaining everything step by step. However, you may need to have some After Effects knowledge to understand basic functionality and layout of the software.
What makes me qualified to teach you?
I’m Sam! I’m a professional motion graphics artist. I’ve worked for a Major League Baseball team for 2 years. Had my work viewed in stadiums full of 40,000+ people every night in the summer.
My job is unique and I am thankful for the teachers who have taught me After Effects motion graphics. And I want to pay it forward to you by teaching you the motion graphics techniques that I have learned of the years!

https://youtu.be/lLeKlX8VlAQ This is a link to the work I completed from your class instructions. I was attempting to complete an Adobe December Challenge so not all effects are included... But! I am going back to complete additional processes and adding personal touches. I know this will make for great product review setups and layouts. Your class material starts at 00:50 if your not interested in seeing the first minute of content. I learned a lot from the class... key steps and tips that are going to cross over into other projects. If your new at this and starting out this is a great class. Instruction is give on how to do and why. He will not leave you hanging trying to figure out how he just did what he did and where to find how to do things. You do have to pay attention and be able to read between the lines. Larry Wilkerson

The author of course just disappeared. No reply in 20 days. it seems that project files are missing and it is impossoble to reach him - tried messaging on Udemy, left messages on his youtube, nada.... So here is my message to author - you are more than happy to take my money (and this is during the covid time when we all count every penny) but you don't bother providing support - so screw you and your broken moral compass.
