    Really Glad I took this class

    Great course and a good intro on the basics of After Effects. Phil is a good teacher on some videos he doesn’t have a good flow but overall he is very good at talking about the topics and the tools.

    I think what he is missing is a solid lesson plan of sorts with bullet points.

    I learned a lot and the course did exactly as promised.

    A little slow and informal as classes go, but very serviceable and I recommend it.
