This was a wonderful class and having a live instructor made a huge difference in the class experience. Our instructor, Kalika, was amazing and set the lessons up so that we gradually built towards the final lesson making incredible progress along the way. She also allowed us all to work at our own pace during the lessons so that everyone was able to develop at a pace comfortable to them while still seeing a marked improvement. I highly recommend this class and eagerly look forward to the next.

After taking the After Effects class at Noble Desktop, I was able to create an animation immediately following completion of the course material - now I have the tools to continue using After Effects in my personal projects and beyond.

Kalika was an excellent instructor. Her enthusiasm and passion for After Effects was contagious. She was patient, smart, and funny. She brought a much needed lightness and humor to a difficult subject. When I began to feel overwhelmed, Kalika was hands-on with helping me. She was genuinely interested in teaching us what we wanted to know. We followed the instruction booklet but it was not forced upon us—we went at our own pace and was able to spend the last class practicing our own project ideas. I left my three-day Noble Desktop experience feeling inspired and excited to continue my After Effects learning journey. I intend on using my new knowledge to make personal art as well as enhance my day-job work as a graphic designer in higher education. I cannot speak highly enough of Kalika. She was truly a pleasure.

I had been trying to learn After Effects on my own for a while, but it wasn’t until I decided to take the course through Noble Desktop that things really started to make sense for me. Now I feel that I have a solid foundation and am more excited than before about learning After Effects.

This is a great intensive course to get you started with After Effects. I highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about learning this. I would definitely take more classes at Noble Desktop.

Great school!! Offers a lot of courses, in different fields like Design, Coding and Business. Amazing teachers, currently I'm taking the After Effects class and it's so exciting, it's a bit complex but a really cool program. My teacher Kalika is really nice and has a lot of experience and knowledge. She is great!! I highly recommend the school.

The instructor gave extremely clear instructions and was one of the best teachers I've come across.
Arianne Hirsch
Kalika was so engaging. You can tell that she's not only extremely knowledgable, but extremely passionate about what she does. I was completely immersed into a program I had never launched before, and am no longer intimidated to pursue Ae.

Noble Desktop definitely exceeded my expectations for the Adobe After Effects Bootcamp. Having no experience at the beginning of the class, I now feel more comfortable creating simple animations on my own and exploring new tutorials outside of class. Dan is also an excellent instructor for After Effect newbies. High fives for everything!
Claudia Modlin
My course instructor was fantastic! Made my learning experience fun and stress free. Look forward to taking more classes in the near future.

Good way to kick start learning a new program. Lots of behind the scenes advice that you don't get from reading a book.

As someone who had used AfterEffects before but never REALLY knew the ins and outs of the program, this was a fantastic course to finally learn the basics.

This is my third class with Noble Desktop—and the first online via Zoom. The online instructor and class was just as good as my in-person class experience. The exercises taught skills applicable to enhance our Social Media projects. Noble Desktop is top notch!

It's pretty amazing how much I learned in just 3 days. Definitely the right kind of class with the right kind of instructor. I highly recommend Noble Desktop. You won't be disappointed!

The After Effects Bootcamp was very informative and I learned so much! The notes that are provided are very thorough, which makes me feel better about creating animations on my own time. The instructor was so approachable and gave us plenty of time to work through the exercises. Overall, I'm so happy I took this course and I can't wait to create my own animations : )

I highly recommend taking advantage of the knowledgeable staff at Noble Desktop.

As someone who had zero experience in video or specifically After Effects, I can honestly say I feel more comfortable with it after only a 3 week course.

Jerron's clarity while teaching this After Effects class inspired me to take the Advanced After Effects class, where I trust he will continue to break down complex concepts!
Jeffery Carson
I have taken a lot of classes at Noble. All have been good. This was among the best.

Very good starting class that gave me time and assistance in areas where I would struggle.

Great class. After Effects is an intimidating program but Dan Rodney made it easy to grasp the basic concepts. Highly recommended.

Learning After Effects with Kalika is the best thing I did for myself this year. Her teaching style is incredible - she really wants you to learn! Noble Desktop is a gem, I highly recommend students to take advantage of their offer to retake the courses. I just did. Repetition is key.
