Tutorials: After Effects
// March 10th, 2009 // Tutorials
I really find that having a good rounded experience in your field helps you understand how all the pieces work. In the entertainment industry there’s three major sections, and within them multiple roles:pre-production, production, post-production. One of the jobs in post-production is that of the editor. They are responsible for taking what the director has filmed and turning it into the final product that you see on screen. There are a lot of tools that editors use, and one that is used for special effects is Adobe After Effects. Below are some of the sites that I have found with some really great tutorials from beginner to semi-expert level.
