Students learn how to use Adobe After Effects and create animate objects, titles, and essential visual effects. The student's primary goal is to create several animation projects to show the skills learned in class. The course is five sessions once a week. Each class is one hour long. - Welcome - Group check-in (How are you doing today?) - The core activity is a specific topic from the process of moviemaking. (see the breakdown by day below) * This course is a version of how I teach three full days of Bootcamp. The five sessions course subjects are: o Week 1 – Introductions & Course goals. Basic foundations of motion graphic animation. Starting with After Effects (Creating a Composition, Creating a Solid, Using keyframes, ease in/ease out) Previews and Render. o Week 2 – 2d vs. 3D Animation. Camera, 3D Mode. Animating in a 3D World. o Week 3 – Compositing tools: Chroma Key, Timeline Modes, Masking, Rotoscope. o Week 4 – Effects: Effects controls, most popular effects to use with titles and videos. o Week 5 – Tips and Tricks. Presentation of their final edit project. The class is built in a PowerPoint presentation with slides divided into sections containing concepts, subjects, photos, and video clips. Students are encouraged to participate fully in a class by sharing opinions, ideas, and assignments. **Please Note: I do not provide licenses or subscriptions to After Effects for this course. Students must have their copy of After Effects installed to participate fully. See below for instructions on getting the program installed on your computer. https://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects.html

Parental Guidance
Please be advised we will be using a third-party tool, the app After Effects which requires parents' approval.
The teacher always advises students to check with parents that the teacher mention in class. Sometimes the teacher talks about certain films that are not age-appropriate for them; however, the teacher will never show these films' video clips.
The content is curated and reviewed for the students. I regularly check the material I show in class with https://www.commonsensemedia.org/, a great tool for parents and teachers to understand what is appropriate to show kids and what age.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor’s Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from Academy of Arts University
I have been working in the film industry and I have a major in Animation and Visual effects. In addition to that, I have been teaching digital media to students from 2nd to 5th grade. Students love the dynamic of making a film. As a film professional, I love to teach the kids about these subjects, I'm very passionate about it. From my own perspective, I engage with the students by talking about movies and how fun is to create them, I also enjoy building collaborative groups and leaders who work together to create something new and unique.
