Mesmerize: Create Mind-Bending GIFs with After Effects and Photoshop

What You Will Learn?

• In this class we’re going to learn about looping mesmerizing animations, the theory behind creating them, and how to create them using Adobe After Effects and Photoshop. You’ll not only learn to create seamlessly looping animations, but you’ll learn how to to make 1 or 2 second GIFs feel like they last forever. We’ll discuss how to create illusions; learn how to animate with both After Effects and Photoshop; and even learn how to code a bit inside After Effects..
• By the end of the class we’ll have created some really short animations that, once looped, will feel like they could be watched for hours. It’s not just about GIFs, but really about mesmerizing animation. It’ll be a great way to get into motion graphics and animation as well..
• Experience with the Adobe apps will help you in this class, but it’s not necessary. If you feel like preparing yourself a bit more take my Illusions of Depth layer art class – it’s a great primer for what we’re going to cover in this class..
