AsI am an experienced AE artist, I am using this course to fill in any gaps in my knowledge. The course is very useful for beginners, as is of value to more experienced users. The technical information is quite good; the design information is weak in some places. Overall, quite useful.

This is a short course that has "recycled" lessons from other courses and the instructor's motion graphics skills never evolve past trim paths and circles, at least in this course. He just goes back to the same old principle over and over again. The videos are shot in 720p and some of them are even actual YouTube videos. The course itself hasn't been updated for 3 years (Phil added just one video about leaving reviews) and all the videos are done using Adobe Effects CS6. Also, he markets his website and other course regularly throughout this course. Instructions are often unclear because even Phil gets confused about what he should do next. All in all, painfully outdated and not worthy of buying.

Great course, I'm an intermediate AE user and picked this course up as I haven't explored the shape tools before. Felt like the course paid for itself after the first few videos.

If you already have a solid understanding of animation and how to do basic compositions in after effects this course is great for spicing things up to make your animations look not only interesting but very professional

If you want to learn some cool effects very efficiently and quickly, then this is the course for you. I followed Phils complete AE course first, so this feels more like a recap. But a very good one.

I've been using After Effects for 5 years and have seen a bunch of tutorials, but I've found his tutorials to be outstanding as he takes you through from start to finish. I picked up a bunch of tips just seeing how he uses After Effects. It's well worth the price and I highly recommend it!

This course is good for beginners but I wouldn't call it advanced. Sure there are a couple of new tricks some of may not have learnt but apart from that its pretty 101

This course is not following a strict cursus but explain through good examples. I have learned some tips and techniques. Now I can move forward and learn some on my own. Thank you.

Some interesting techniques demonstrated but I would appreciate a more methodical approach to the individual projects. Doing things off the cuff doesn't cut it when you're paying for a course - that and the repeated tutorials from your other AE courses.
