I am learning how to do things with motion graphics that I never thought were possible.
The key to Noble Desktop is the lessons and hands-on training one does; it gets you familiar with the applications you're learning better than just trial and error.
I asked Jerron for help understanding a technique for which there are almost no tutorials online, and he took his own personal time, after hours, to figure it out and presented it in the class the next morning. I can't express how much I appreciate his support and guidance. Generous instructor.
Noble Desktop offers efficient, thorough classes for learning these programs. There's enough repetition to get you used to the workflow without slowing the pace. The three-day bootcamps are an excellent way to learn the basics, plus a little more to give you the confidence to tackle your own projects - with a handy workbook to use as a reference.
The After Effects Advanced Bootcamp class was incredible! It elevated my skills beyond my expectations.
Jerron forgot more about After Effects over breakfast than I could ever hope to learn, and his knowledge about this insanely complicated and unintuitive program is quite impressive. He seems to have made every mistake possible and learned a thing or two from it.
The instructor was fun and very informative. The class was challenging but when you get used to it, it's very advanced stuff that you can use for big projects.
AE 2 is outrageous and my favorite class to date. Jerron is a fantastic instructor filled with knowledge, personality and attention towards the students learning needs. Jerron is an amazing instructor! This class has surpassed any expectations. To sum the class up in one word “WOW”.
In After Effects 2 I have learned how to create more dynamic videos and have retained a number of helpful shortcuts that shorten my work time.
The instructor was very smart, knowledgeable, easy going, and patient. Did a great job.
I thoroughly enjoyed my After Effects Level 2 course. The instructor was very detailed and patient when working with students. I learned a lot from this class and it gave me new skills to put to work at my job as a Motion Designer. I plan on taking more classes from Noble Desktop!
Really knowledgable instructors that walk you through the software step by step.
It's interesting, normally when it comes to personalized attention and "extras" you only expect that kind of care from institutions that are more permanent school. You certainly don't expect it from a place that gives what essentially amounts to short/fast continuing education classes like Noble. Somehow though, they manage! Noble cares! It's quite a phenomena. It was as if I was in a 4 year school with professors who really cared about my success. Even outside of class. That's Commendable. I will continue to recommended Noble to others.
Noble Desktop's After Effects II class is a great way to advance you skills in this program. It is challenging, but their method of teaching allows you to advance at your own pace. You also get a step by step book so you can practice the lessons as many times as you need to on your own. This was the second class I have taken with Noble Desktop, and I hope to take many more. It is a really great way to learn.
Take this class if you want to thoroughly know Adobe After Effects
Learning After Effects with Kalika Sharma 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.
Noble's After Effects course is a very thorough and efficient way to get your feet wet with this robust program. I was exposed to more concepts and hands-on work in 3 weeks than I was at a full-time semester program elsewhere. Highly recommended.
In Kalika's After Effects class you'll learn a lot more than this Adobe app. With sensitivity and attention to detail, Kalika charmingly drops her own hard learned lessons of working as a professional graphic animator into every lesson at every opportunity. You can see the effort Kalika puts in to the lessons and during the class so students gain the most out of this course.
I came in with some ideas of what I could do with After-Effects but left the class totally blown away by all the things I can do now.
If you're thinking that there's nothing you could possibly learn from this class, think again. Kalika does such a wonderful job of teaching, cheering you on and engaging the class that I looked forward to the next class before the current one had already ended.
So experienced!! Every time I had a roadblock, Kalika immediately knew what step I missed or what I did wrong. A true wealth of knowledge. I learned way more than I thought I would in 3 days. I would highly recommend to other designers and my co workers!
The class was very informative and helped me take After Effects to the next level.
Great class and workflow! I feel more confident in my ability with AfterEffects and the instructor was interactive and really wants you to learn the program!
After Effects Advanced is a near perfect course. The marketing for it is on point; you touch on everything from animation to green screen removal to rotoscoping. Can’t think of another class that covers this much in such a short amount of time. Bravo Noble Desktop!
The demos bring a daunting textbook to life and break everything down to manageable steps.
