This course will give you new opportunities and free you from the fears of using expressions
Expressions. Something from another planet.

Expressions are an integral AE part that gives more opportunities than you’ll ever get with an interface. Expressions will make your projects more flexible and will save you hours of work.
I don’t know programming at all
You did try to learn it but still no luck?
Well, you won’t need programming skills with Expressions. You’ll learn the basics in your first lessons.
I can hardly find where to use them
You know how they work yet have no idea how to apply them?
You need good practice based on complex illustrations where you’ll get the best out of Expressions.
I love the routine
There’s nothing wrong with routine but you have no idea how much time you actually waste!
You’ll learn tons of helpful functions and they’ll change the way you work forever.
Math for kids
So you see maths functions and operations in Expressions and it keeps pushing you away?
Good news! AE has all the tools to change the way you see them. And we’ll give you some great examples to free you from any fear of using them. You’ll get your thirst for knowledge back!

You’ll get to know where to start. We’ll tell you some
details about the whole educational process and show you the soft you’ll need plus some
extra stuff you may find helpful.
Parenting, Wiggle, time, value, noise. You’ll learn the

we’ll learn how to control them at the same time.
You will learn loop variations and get to practice with
them. We’ll go deeper into expressions. You’ll learn how to parent layers and create
generative clouds.
In this lesson, we’ll see how if/else work and we’ll use
them to add some variativity to our elements. You’ll learn more about Math functions and add
more flexibility while using fewer keyframes.
Learn how to use the most powerful expressions that can
free you from the keyframe slavery. Create a dynamic graphic constructor. We’ll create a
loop while using no keyframes at all!
Learn how to easily change color schemes in your projects
and create your own pseudo effects. Save a lot of time on your projects using them
We will begin working with advanced techniques. We’ll
start with a flexible parallax and will breathe life In our city.

are, how they differ from the expressions and which advantages they provide. You will create
a simple script that will help you in the animation.

Yes, I found the courses extremely helpful and well put together. I was researching online tutorials for my colleagues who are just beginning to learn AE and was testing out a MDS course to see if I could recommend it. I ended up learning a lot myself :)
Matthew McDonald
The Science of Character course was extremely helpful. It was easy to follow and the lessons were top notch. Your team produces high quality learning experiences that I haven’t found in other places when it comes to motion graphics. Keep up the great work!
Nikki Slaughter
I’ve watched some of the shorter classes and have loved them! The teaching style is fantastic and engaging ???? I’ve also enjoyed seeing everyone’s work in the FB groups. Everyone seems to be excited to give helpful feedback and encouragement! I recommend your classes to my coworkers and friends all the time (am a full time sr. designer).
Elizabeth Gallian
Great classes and I'm happy that invested in them. I definitely learned a lot of new ways of working that made me faster and better at my job.
Katarzyna Wisniewska
I work for Accenture and animated videos are on a daily basis. Our clients loved the few effects that I was able to learn at the course. Also, I still go back to the lessons and find something new to learn.

The lessons are great. You get what you're looking for and a little more.
