With this class I would like to start a "bigger story" where we will learn exactly how to create Animated Storytelling Videos - In this class I will teach you how to turn an initial idea into a fully functioning, ready to export example scene in After Effects. Such scenes are perfect for youtube videos or any other platform you might think of. You can be up for greatness. This is the animation we are doing in this class:

I want to teach you how:

- Approach creating a ready-to-publish video for youtube

- Utilize After Effects for simple Animation

- Get story telling / explainer videos done quickly

- Get comfortable publishing online material

This class is supposed to be the tip of the iceberg and show you the initial, first concept in a short, friendly and fun way, so get ready and let's start!
