    Amazing class taught by Mr.Mark Chandler. The 3 jam-packed days were just a steller foundation on what's possible with creating in After Effects and Premiere. The class was a mixture of informational lessons and real-world perspectives. I feel more confident tackling more AE projects now.

    Anonymous review on 8/3/2019
    Very good for learning with no experience or for filling in the gaps from self teaching AfterEffects. Wish there were a little more complex concepts taught other than just moving shapes around on 2D space but you can only teach so much in a day. Got a little too quick towards the end when exporting projects and learning different compressions so it felt arbitrary to even explain. But overall good class and great teacher, perfect pace for learning from scratch and if you need to learn specifically how to make gifs and logos

    Hands down the best learning experience I've ever had! I came into the class with no Premiere experience and after just the fundamentals class, I can confidently open the program and am able to edit video and audio successfully. What made the class so efficient and productive was the instructor, McKinley Marshall; by far THE BEST instructor I have ever had the pleasure to learn from. She not only wrote the course outline herself, but she was SO efficient that she was able to deliver exactly what was promised without sacrificing every single student's grasp of every concept and understanding. McKinley implemented the perfect amount of lecture, activity, and engaging question & answers every day. She made sure to reference the basics so that, not only, were we all able to remember them to complete the current project, but to burn them into our brain so that we're able to accomplish our projects as efficiently as possible. I am incredibly grateful for the experience!!

    Kalika was a fantastic instructor bringing patience and humor to every lesson. Thanks to her, I have a strong grasp on the topics covered, am confident in my skills and capability to delve further into the app. Kalika is the rare teacher who goes the extra mile for her students because she's happy to. One suggestion note is that there are a few lessons that start off with importing or setting up in more than one way for the sake of learning how different modes function. I think the class would benefit from taking time in between the demonstrations to practice that part before continuing into the bulk of the lesson - I found that I forgot what the take-away was from that initial portion of the lesson by the time the demonstration was over, and conducting that portion on my own created an interruption between the demonstration and going through the section on my own.
