- [Alan] If you're looking to create the illusion

2
00:00:02,002 --> 00:00:04,001
of life through character animation,

3
00:00:04,001 --> 00:00:07,000
learning how to harness the power of Adobe After Effects

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,006
will help you convey the action

5
00:00:08,006 --> 00:00:11,001
and emotion through digital puppets.

6
00:00:11,001 --> 00:00:12,005
In my LinkedIn Learning course,

7
00:00:12,005 --> 00:00:15,004
the aim is to get you up and running in After Effects,

8
00:00:15,004 --> 00:00:17,006
so that you can bring characters to life.

9
00:00:17,006 --> 00:00:19,005
We'll learn the software within the context

10
00:00:19,005 --> 00:00:20,009
of character animation,

11
00:00:20,009 --> 00:00:23,002
and we'll cover the essentials of After Effects,

12
00:00:23,002 --> 00:00:26,003
including puppet tools, expressions,

13
00:00:26,003 --> 00:00:28,006
the graph editor and more.

14
00:00:28,006 --> 00:00:30,008
Because this course isn't project-based,

15
00:00:30,008 --> 00:00:33,007
we won't animate any one scene from start to finish.

16
00:00:33,007 --> 00:00:36,005
Instead, we use a variety of character examples

17
00:00:36,005 --> 00:00:38,004
to learn the features of After Effects,

18
00:00:38,004 --> 00:00:40,009
along with tips and tricks that will help you get started

19
00:00:40,009 --> 00:00:42,009
creating your own animations.

20
00:00:42,009 --> 00:00:46,000
