This workshop is for those who are curious about learning the ins-and-outs of After Effects motion graphics with an emphasis on the GRAPH EDITOR.

Easing and the Graph Editor -- if you understand the basics of After Effects, then you already know how to make things move. Now, make them move amazingly! Unlock the power of the graph editor to ease your way into motion that feels real.

Who is the media teacher, Kia Simon?

She is an Emmy-winning designer, Reel Stories board member & media teacher, and the creative director at Sneaky Little Sister - a motion graphics design studio.
