How to Bring Your Text to Life in After Effects

via CreativeLive

Overview

ABOUT OLIVER'S CLASS:

In this class, you won’t just learn how to create text animation, but rather the fundamentals and understanding of animation that lies behind. Using the principles of animation such as squash & stretch, as well as the laws of physics, you will get a better understanding of how to make animation get a sense of weight. That includes learning why and when to use certain techniques, and not just how to use them. The class is for any skill level—trained professionals who want to dive deeper and learn new techniques, or beginners that want to get started in the field.
