Course Description
Adobe After Effects CC: Create a space scene is built around helping Adobe After Effects users and students learn the skills needed to for Digital Matte Painting and Digital compositing. There are many different uses for After Effects which can be covered but this course is focused primarily on Compositing multiple assets together to create a photo-realistic environment.
There are many different effects that I teach you through this course, one of the most interesting is where we will be creating our own Hi-Pass filter to add depth and dimension to the planet surface and clouds!
As I come from a teaching background (teaching visual effects and motion graphics is my day job) I believe in equipping students with the skills needed and then letting student put their skills to the test, so as I say in some of the final videos, once you have created your scene, feel free to share your work with me in the question room or on social media and then I can provide feedback and help you further! (Details of Creative Tap's social media can be found in my profile).
