  Instructor Led Training

  Posted by Ed Blackford on July 24, 2009 at 9:43 am

  Hello,

  I am self taught using After Effects, just out of college, and I don’t know anyone around me that uses after effects that can help me out. Because of this, I am looking to attend some kind of intensive training camp or 3 day class or something like that so I can be taught by a live person who can help me figure out problems and such. I have looked on the internet and have seen ledet.com (any opinions on this training?) but that is mostly it. I live in upstate new york and would like to stay in or around new york.

  Also, if there is a professional in the area who has time to teach me, I would consider that as an option also. I have a demo reel and a resume if you would like to see where I am at skill-wise.

  Thanks for your help.

  There are still a few conventions on the eastern coast where you can attend Adobe-certified instruction. Look for DV East. Does Adobe still list qualified trainers and ACEs on their site? Might check there.

  I’ve been the TA for a beginning AE class in a college setting and I’ve used every available training resource on the planet. IMNSHO, your best investment is going to be Total Training and then committing the 40-60 hours it will take to slog through the program. It’s logical, clear, built with the newbie in mind yet extends to advanced techniques for power users, and the information remains timely even after the next rev comes out. you will still benefit from having the materials on your shelf.

  full disclosure: I’ve been using TT’s material since Brian Maffitt had short hair. I receive no compensation from them, darn it, for endorsing their products.
