Learn how to bring your films to life with Adobe After Effects’ industry animation and visual effect tools.

Whether looking to expand a company’s reach or just enhance your own films, adding visual effects and animation can be a great way to drive a message home, bringing a film or video to life and visually articulate your ideas and propositions. Get more out of your brand by integrating video into your marketing or give your own short films a professional and polished finish.
This intensive one day course will get you started in motion graphics, keying, compositing (animation within video or fusing video elements) and the creation of animated titles.

We offer a range of film production courses covering scriptwriting, editing and visual effects, please do take a look at the full programme of courses available.

The session is taught on mac computers with Adobe After Effects, however a majority of the skills taught are transferable to other platforms and software.
