After Effects Training: Essential Skills 2

"This was a refresher course for me, and I'm very glad that I took it. I learned as much as I did the first time that I took the class. It was a good thing to see parts of the class from Jon's perspective. It was like a brand new class with all of the new tips and tricks. It's always have a fun informational experience." - Nic
