Are you looking to add something more to your digital illustrations? Parallax animation might be the answer you’re looking for!
With the help of After Effects and a little bit of magic, you can turn your compositions into mesmerizing three dimensional worlds.

My name is Manon Louart, and I am a motion designer & illustrator based in France. In this class, I’ll be teaching you everything you need to know to add depth to your designs in After Effects.

In this class, you'll learn how to:

Use After Effect’s 3D tools
Create 3D shapes
Build a 3D scene with depth
Animate with Cameras
Take advantage of 3D effects
Create and apply a Retro Analog styling effect

And so much more!

I’ll first introduce each notion along with a short animation exercise, and once you’re confident with your new skills we’ll move on to the main project.

I’ll take you through my entire process from drawing and organizing my illustration, to turning it into a 3D scene in After Effects, and exporting.
You’ll be able to follow along using my After Effects project and a shortcut cheat sheet, both available in the Resources tab.

The final class project will be a looping animated parallax illustration.

This class is perfect for creators with a basic knowledge of After Effects, or Intermediate Motion Designers looking to learn new tricks.

I'll explain each step along the way, but you should have a basic understanding of After Effects before taking this class. If you’re new to motion, check out Animate your Illustration in After Effects or Level Up Your Typography: Creating Animated Stickers in After Effects first.

I can’t wait to see what you create. Don’t forget to post your final projects in the Class Project Section and ask questions along the way!

I’ll see you in class ☺
