Welcome to our

After Effects Bootcamp!

Why join?

It’s fun!

We understand things need to be done, but we also like to keep the atmosphere light and fun. Because that’s where all the real learning happens.

Each week, you'll engage in practical exercises and challenges that allow you to apply the concepts and techniques you've learned. From creating your own animations to tackling real-world projects, our hands-on approach ensures that you build real confidence and proficiency with After Effects while also enjoying the process.

It’s incredible value!

A decent freelancer will charge you anywhere between £500 and £5000 for a custom video for your business. A marketing agency will charge you even more.

If you learn enough through the bootcamp to make just two videos for your business, you’ve essentially recouped your financial investment in the bootcamp and then some.

It’s forever!

The skills you learn and the learning material you get as part of the bootcamp are yours to keep forever! You will (hopefully) never need to pay someone to make a video again.

Plus, you'll have access to ongoing support and one-year access to 50% off all our consulting services. So no matter where you get stuck in a future project, we will be here to assist you however we can.

Our comprehensive 6-week bootcamp is designed to help you unlock the full potential of Adobe After Effects, drawing upon decades of industry experience to provide you with the skills and insights you need to thrive. From mastering the basics to delving into advanced techniques, our curriculum covers everything you need to know to create stunning motion graphics and professional-quality videos.

Like most things in life, the more time you spend with After Effects, the more you’ll grow and the more fun you’ll end up having. If you or someone in your company has the time and willingness to learn, why not invest in your future by signing up now?

Once you have passed the bootcamp and used the skills learned to create just 2 videos, you've essentially recouped your financial investment in the bootcamp and then some!

Bootcamp Structure

The bootcamp consists of 6 core modules, each of which would take roughly one week.
Given the nature of the program, your instructor will spend more or less time on certain topics depending on your existing skill level and interest.

Module 1: Basics of After Effects

This includes the layout of AE, using basic tools, blending modes, parenting, masks, and rendering, as well as where to source video, image, and music assets to get started.

Module 2: Animations and Keyframes

This includes the building blocks and mechanics of making animations in AE as well as Easy Ease, Graphs, and how to make an animation look “natural’’.

Module 3: Motion graphics

This would include advanced techniques to create and fine-tune 2D animations (text, transitions, and using effects built-in to AE).

Module 4: Templates and Plugins

This includes using third-party plugins, sourcing templates, and using these to create professional-looking videos; as well as how to ensure what you make doesn’t infringe on someone’s copyright.

Module 5: 2D and 3D tracking

This includes the basics of tracking in After Effects and how to use these tools in real videos to tell compelling narratives.

Module 6: Summary and next steps

This final week is less structured than the others. You can use this final week to reinforce your knowledge and explore topics not yet discussed, or revisit what you have learned already and make sure it remains useful to you in the longterm.

FAQs

  • The bootcamp is designed by taking into account what most of our students have been interested in over the years.

    After Effects can be a very intimidating piece of software because of the sheer depth of functionality it provides, but you don’t need to know most of it to make quality videos. Using the data and feedback from our consulting students, we have distilled the most useful and frequently used parts of AE and combined them into this bootcamp.

    Having said that, the bootcamp is loosely structured and there is plenty of room to pivot and spend more time on the areas within AE that you are more interested in.

    Please discuss your preferences with the tutor at the start of the bootcamp and they will be happy to accommodate you.

  • You’ll be assigned an instructor who’ll be your main point of contact throughout the program.

    You will be invited to a 15-min scoping call where the instructor will introduce themselves and learn about your background and motivations for joining the bootcamp. This is necessary to adapt the program to different skill levels and ensure the program is as valuable to you as possible.

    The rest of the bootcamp follows the modular structure described above.

  • When you join our bootcamp, you'll be paired with a dedicated instructor who will serve as your mentor and guide. Through weekly one-on-one sessions, your instructor will tailor the curriculum to your skill level and goals, providing feedback and support every step of the way.

  • Upon completion of the bootcamp, all participants will be awarded a certificate from learnAE.org, acknowledging their expertise in After Effects.
