Jumpstart your journey to making money with your creativity in motion graphics. Hi, I'm Valeri, and I'm excited to share my top course on making cool animations for social media!

But, I want to be clear: this course isn't just about following the latest trends. It's about learning how to work on big animation projects from start to finish. Trends may come and go, but the skills you learn here will stick with you forever.

You'll learn how to tackle any project, even complicated ones like explainer videos. By the end of this course, you'll know how to come up with creative ideas and feel confident working on big projects to tell amazing stories.

We'll start with how to understand a script from a client, or how to make one yourself with AI if there isn't one. Then, I'll show you how to think of cool visuals, find inspiration, and look up stuff that can help your project. You'll also learn how to plan your work with a storyboard. Next, we'll make the scenes in Illustrator.

I'll teach you how to create a great voiceover with AI, making it easier to start animating your project. After that, we'll jump into After Effects to start bringing your project to life. I'll share tips on matching animation to voiceovers and moving smoothly from one scene to the next.

You'll also get to know how to add captions, using AI or doing it yourself in After Effects. Lastly, we'll polish your animation with some basic effects and sound before it's all done. So, get ready to boost your motion design skills and move closer to earning from your creativity.

Don't worry if you're a newbie or just starting with After Effects. I'll explain all the important functions and concepts of After Effects in a simple way ever. And if you want to go in-depth and learn more, I have a free beginner's guide where you can find detailed explanations about the most important topics in After Effects.

On top of all, to give you the best learning experience, you'll get a clear notification on when to work with me and when to listen without touching the computer.

 

You'll also get mid-lesson questions to help you memorize the lessons better,

and I'll even tell you when to take a 10-minute break.

And the cherry on top is that this course is voiced by a professional voice-over in super simple English, so even if English is not your native language, like mine, you'll easily understand the lessons! So, get ready for a fun, engaging, and rich learning experience with logo animation!
