Skillshare – Disney's Animation Secrets: Characterize and Style a Bouncing Ball in After Effects

It's easy to pick up After Effects and make some cool projects, but have you ever wondered WHY some animation looks great, and why yours isn't quite matching up?

It's time to bring them back and apply them to MOTION DESIGN.

I'm going to explain these principles to you in detail, as they pertain to motion graphics. All your projects from here on out will benefit greatly by the simple application of these principles.
