An interesting course, definitely a great introduction to Illustrator and After Effects for beginners, with some useful tips for intermediate users too. The instructor is knowledgeable and explains things clearly.

If you want to figure out how Ai works and put the graphics into AE for animation, you must not miss it! The course just only 1.5 hours, which isn't be enough to understand the whole thing about Ai and AE, but it perfect start if you are interested in motion graphics. P.S. I recommend that you should use Ai and AE basically, that the course will help you a lot.

It's great if you already have some knowledge of Illustrator and After Effects because you can follow along really quickly without having to listen through an explanation of everything. Some other courses it takes so long to get through the basic, but this course I was able to breeze through and learn at the same time.

Dommage qu'on n'explique pas le cheminement pour arriver à créer le modèle de base, on ne fait que copier.. Mais sinon, très facile à comprendre !

This course was very informative and fun. My only criticism is that it’s taught at a breakneck speed. It was often hard to keep up with the instructor’s pace as I was trying to follow along. That said, the material was excellent and I really enjoyed it.

This course is great for beginners and intermediate users of Illustrator and After Effects. The instructor does a great job of explaining what he is doing and why without slowing down the lecture. I consider myself an above average user for Illustrator, but I was able to learn something new about Illustrator that I didn't know prior to this course. This course will not teach you everything you may want to know about Illustrator and After Effects, that is not it's intent, but it will give you a good understanding of what you can do with both programs and the confidence to try new tools you may not have known existed. This was an hour and a half I'm glad I spent listening and following along with the instructions. Totally worth the time and cost. Stephan

The instructor packs a lot of useful information into these videos. I like the fact that he doesn't spend extra time explaining the whys and hows, he just does it, giving the viewer only what's needed in order to get the job done.

Its just wooooow and wonderful Course - I have enrolled in two courses animation in aftereffect and Illustrator - the tutor was kind and he was just with me and answered me within seconds in any problem I faced during my application to the course..and also he gives me bonus when he just add perfect script to my project.
By Gustavo Nardi Chiganças on 2/9/2019
O curso é muito bom, mas faltam mais explicações de alguns ajustes de velocidade da animação, acaba ficando muito olha e copia igual. Outra coisa, o vídeo de propaganda do curso mostra a animação com o reflexo abaixo da máquina de valar. Este reflexo não foi abordado no curso. The course is very good, but it need more explanations of some adjustments of speed of the animation, ends up getting much looks and copies equal. Another thing, the advertisement video shows the animation with the reflection below the machine. This reflex was not in the course.

I really like the way in which the instructor provided an explanation for every single movement. I also like that he provide the shortcuts to the tools and a little explanation of what the tool do. I like his mood and the way he conducts the course. Great! I'm happy to learn some new things!
