After Effects for Funsies - 04 Parenting and Parallax

Intrigued but intimidated by 3D animation in After Effects? I gots you!

In this class, we're going to have a look at how we can connect layers together as a really basic rig for a smooth workflow. We're also going to look at how simple it is to add another half a dimension to our work for some funky parallax vibes. These tools are what takes your simple flat artwork into a whole new world of possibilities. It’s up to you how far you want to push these tools!

I, Alyssa Smedley, AKA Horrible Horris, will be your teacher on this continued adventure into After Effects for Funsies.

This class is for those folks that are relatively new to After Effects or looking for a refresher. If you're brand spanking new to AE I'd highly recommend checking out some of my earlier classes that take you through the basics of keyframed animation.

At the end of this class, you will come away with sweet new skills in animation, a confidence to use Adobe After Effects and a short animated piece ready to show off to your bestie!

I have created a little scene for you to use but I encourage you to have a go with your own to make it most useful for developing your own practice.

This class is designed to be fun, light-hearted and to look at some slightly more advanced techniques and a gentle lens.
