Course Description

   I want to clarify some details right away: This course was created for the training unit of the General-Animation studio. Every new candidate who wants to become a member of our studio, we send to this course so that he can quickly and efficiently become familiar with our methods of work.

   Many members of our community live in developing countries and have access only to the simplest computers. Taking into account the needs of such students, during training we use the Adobe After Effects of 7.0 version, which does not require high-performance hardware, but at the same time allows to master the basic principles of working with the program.

   The main advantage of our animation technique is that we always try to work as efficiently as possible, to get the maximum result at the lowest possible cost. So if you want to quickly and without special material costs learn the basic methods of creating animation in the Adobe After Effects - then welcome to our course! We will be happy to share our knowledge with you, and you may even want to become a member of our team in order to enjoy some nice bonuses and create cartoons of a charitable and educational nature with us.

    Yes - animation is too high an art to spend it on trifles, so we do not make stupid cartoons to collect views on Youtube. We are engaged in serious things that can really change this world - make it a better place to live. As I understand, these things are first of all the online education and promotion of scientific achievements, advanced information technology, clean energy sources and, in general, new progressive technologies and the brotherhood of all the peoples of the Earth. And our projects are dedicated to this mission.   

   Our main goal is to enable the people of developing countries to join modern computer technologies in order to help them escape from the shackles of poverty and illiteracy. Therefore, in our lessons, we do not use the most modern software requiring a high-performance computer, so that students from developing countries, often having only outdated computers, can also work with us. To such students, we even pay small incentive bonuses to stimulate their interest in computer technology.    So welcome to our unique experimental course in which information is presented in an entertaining and easy understandable form, as lessons with animated characters who tell you about how make cartoons in Adobe After Effects. If you are looking for a simple and effective technology to create cartoons - this course is exactly for you.

Instructor Details

Vadim Daschinsky

   Hello. My name is Vadim Daschinsky. And yes – I’m living in the depths of Russia. Working in the advertising department of local TV, I gained quite a good knowledge of video editing and motion graphics software, so now I'm making animated video tutorials in which funny cartoon creatures in simple and accessible manner tell about various computer programs.

  I’m making cartoons too. In Russia my cartoons and my tutorials are quite popular. I can say that they have grown up a whole generation of young animators. So now I'm making these lessons in English. I hope my lessons will be useful for you.

   If you have any interesting ideas on creating of exciting animated video - write to me. Maybe we'll make some cartoons together.

It's kind of OLD since it was created over 5 years ago (at least), but it's still funny and shows the basics of animation. It's nothing groundbreaking but ok for beginners :)

By Kitten on 7/25/2022

to the point and easily explained through animation. Loved the animation in which a truck drops layers on the project window. The instructor himself has worked hard.

By Kim Brown on 3/23/2021

This could work for some people, but it's very robotic, using a really old version of after effects. Instructor is knowledgable, but I just can't stick with it and how the training is laid out. Again, could work for some...not me.

I am enjoying this so much because of the humor, and I'm learning things that are simple and easy to understand. I have learned more in this tutorial than any After Effects tutorial ever. I actually think I can learn to use AE now!

Kurzer kompakter Kurs für schnelle Lernerfolge. Der Kurs ist unterhaltsam aufgebaut, musste öfter schmunzeln. Nur die Vertonung (englische Aussprache) nervte mit der Zeit. Habe einfach den Ton ausgeschaltet und nur die Untertitel gelesen. Funktioniert auch. Wird alles mit der Maus und Beispielen gezeigt, so dass man das auch ohne Ton nachvollziehen kann. Zwischendrin immer wieder Pausebutton drücken, gründlich lesen und evtl. etwas zurückspulen. Dann passt es.

By Jason Christopher Morris on 3/31/2017

When they said basic, they really meant it. The course is not even explained by an instructor or a proper human voice...we can see a cartoon figure explaining the modules to you with an horrible voice. I don't recommend this course if you are a little more than a beginner...

By M.Sc. Daniel Stiber on 3/31/2017

I didnt finish the course yet, but I like what I saw so far. Very interesting and practice oriented course. The teachers voice is sometimes a bit hard to understand. I am a bit fascinated that there arent any copyright issues using Jack Sparrow and South Park characters. I would like to know more about where to the line must be drawn in that regard. I will update my review once I finished the course.
