Animating With Light

This class will show you how I simulate light in After Effects. Learn how to transform any text, graphic, or animation into a neon sign and create completely custom glow effects. We'll also cover many tips and tricks for animating using shape layers, precompositions to create procedurally generated effects, and a simple expression-rig for color management. You'll be able add a level of realisticity to any design or animation once you learn how to simulate light.

This class is for artists with some experience using After Effects. However, it's not necessary. You'll be able follow along with my videos step-by-step, even if the software is new to you as with all my courses.
