What is this course about?

Have you ever asked yourself why some seemingly simple videos have such astonishing animations, while some other ones are a pain to watch?
That’s because many beginner animators aren’t familiar with the principles of animation or animation theory in general, they don’t know what aspects they should focus on to improve their work, why those are important, and how they should implement such things in their animations. In this Motion Design Course, we will dive into the depths of After effects. you will learn everything from the most basic animation techniques to the most advanced ones practically, so you can achieve astounding results.
What’s more, our journey will not end until I see you becoming a pro motion designer. So, this course is suitable for both beginners and veterans.

About the Author

motion designer, jafar fazel

Hi I’m Jafar Fazel!

I have been working with after effects and producing motion graphics for 13 years. I produce weekly motion design & animation tutorials on YouTube and explore intermediate and advanced techniques.

I really love animation challenges, I believe that the difference between a good animation and a bad one is just knowledge and a little bit of practice, with which you can achieve stunning results.

I like to spend a lot of time with keyframes and I think that animation is the soul of a design that a simple animation can make a design twice as attractive.
