Beginning AE

For Thursday and Friday I want you to watch the following 2 videos in After Effects and try to follow along step by step and see what you can do........just practicing.  Have fun with it and I can't wait to see what you all can do.  If you get stuck go back to the above After Effects Tab and watch my 3 tutorials to guide you.  I will help you more next week.

Start thinking about a music video you want to make.  You can start planning them out too. You can work in groups.

Good luck and see you all on Monday!  Email me with questions/problems. cschneid@vermilionschools.org
