[VIP] Motion Tricks
This is a medium to advanced After Effects course focused on techniques that will elevate the complexity of your animations. If you know your way around AE but want to take your work to the next level, this course is for you.
What is this course about?
Motion Tricks is an After Effects course focused on advanced techniques that will boost the quality of your animations. Over this course, you will learn how to transform your designs into solid drawings and bring that 3D look into your animations. You’ll also learn the importance of following arcs in your animations to achieve smooth and organic movements.
You’ll have many opportunities to practice everything you learn in different scenarios. From single geometric elements to advanced character animation, you’ll have fun working on exercises with a growing level of complexity.
This course requires a basic knowledge of After Effects, so it’s perfect for animators and motion designers that know their way around the software but need that extra push to give more flavor to their animations.

Master the Style
You might think that most of the amazing animations you see on your feed are created using advanced techniques. But the truth is that any animation can be broken down into a few basic actions. In this course we will explore how some simple tricks, when added to each other, can drastically increase the quality of your animations.

Next Level
Emanuele is well known in the community for his particular style of classy movements, catchy character animation and unexpected transitions. Once we explore some cool animation tricks in the first part of this course, we will study how to apply them to different situations, increasing the complexity with every step.

Dive inside
What makes the difference between a good animation and a loop you just can’t take your eyes off? We will spend some time going through some sweet animations that conquered the Internet and we will try to identify some of the traits they share, applying those same principles to our animations.
