What You Will Learn?

  • I made my original Animated CV way back in 2015 and so far people all over the world have watched it nearly 90,000 times and it has over 100,000 minutes of watch time on it (that's like 70 days) ! .
  • Every week I get emails, texts and messages on social media from people in all professions asking me how I made mine and how they can create their own! .
  • This class will help you do just that! .
  • Create your very own animated CV! .
  • I will break down the process of how I took my boring old white paper, with lots of text CV, to a fully animated story driven production, that got me the job I'm in currently, as well as a number of freelance clients as well!.
  • I explain the four main basic techniques that I used in After Effects to create my 2D animated CV, to highlight my background, skills and education in an interesting and captivating way. .
  • I also envision this as an evolving class, so if there is any part of my latest animated CV that you want more details on in particular, or a deep dive in, than please leave a message in the class comments and I'll work to create something in that area or answer your questions to aid you in the creation of your Animated CV!.
  • So get involved! Start creating your very own animated CV today and share what you learn and create in the comments section of this class to inspire and help others. .
