After Effects Intro · October 2026clear instructions throughout the course, at a good pace meaning I was able to follow everything easily. Before the course, the reminder emails were useful as well.
After Effects Intermediate · September 2026Great, light studio and friendly environment. Really knowledgable trainer who covered a lot of ground. Thanks - really enjoyed!
After Effects Intermediate · September 2026Ben delivered a well-structured course and gave lots of useful tips based on his own experience. He reiterated key steps to explain and reinforce our learning, and he was open in inviting and answering questions. I admire Ben's creative thinking when animating, as he always has the principles of animation in mind, so when he makes suggestions to animated movement, it's highly motivating.
