Course overview
A motion design course covering animation principles and production in After Effects. Animation principles come first timing, spacing, easing, anticipation then the After Effects toolset: shape layers, masks, parenting, expressions and camera work. Sound, rendering and delivery specs complete the pipeline.
Learners produce a title sequence, a logo sting and a 60-second explainer.
Who it is for
- Video editors adding motion skills
- Graphic designers moving into animation
- Marketing content producers
- Freelancers offering explainer videos
Prerequisites
Basic design sense and computer skills. Adobe After Effects access.
How it runs
Learn → Practise → Build → Experience → Demonstrate, ending in a capstone. Delivered by practitioners from the engineering bench, in Madurai, Coimbatore and online.
