Explainer Video Academy (After Effects) Information

Create animated explainer videos from scratch using After Effects (10 hours)

Videos Rule. If your company’s website doesn’t have them, you are missing out on an awesome way of communicating with your customers. Videos are an easy and dynamic way of letting folks know about your products or services and they can mean the difference between a lookie-loo and actual sales.

Unfortunately, many companies let the high costs of professional videos turn them off to the real power of this marketing medium. Some folks even create low quality videos in-house.

As dynamic and powerful as videos can be, bad videos can be just as persuasive… in a totally negative way – giving potential customers a bad impressive of your company. Rather than adding poor quality videos to your site, you’re probably better off not adding videos at all.

Now your company can stand out from the crowd and you don’t need to spend $10K in order to have a professional video produced for your site. Are you ready for this? You can start enjoying the benefits of learning how to make your own, professional quality videos now with the help of an awesome video series that teaches you everything you need to know.
