Learning AE and video production
Alright, I’m graduating from high school soon and also to be looking at colleges, Is there any schools that teach After Effects as a main? not just after effects but video production also. I see all these art institutes but i don’t know what course would be right for me, I mainly want work with video editing and after effects work…sorry if this is rather off topic i dont know where else to ask this. thanks in advance for any information.

Parsons School of Design’s Design and Technology program has a great track called Digital Motion which is ALL ABOUT After Effects.

Hey Zack, I would be a little wary of looking for classes that teach a specific program. AE is cool and widely used, but you really want to learn the craft of graphics, editing, etc. Learning a program can be done with the manual, some trial and error and help from your friends at The Cow. It’s like wanting to be an architect and looking for classes in a CAD program. Doesn’t make you an architect.
I would narrow your focus to what it is you want to learn. Motion graphics and design? Editing? On set production? Photography/DP’ing?
Some of my friends went to Art Intitutes. Don’t know that it taught them a whole lot. I think the first few years are good to get you interested in what it is you want to pursue but then it really needs to be a focused thing for you from there in a specific field.

Yea i was more leaning toward motion graphics as a whole, but i still do not really know if this is the direction i would like to go. I was sort of asking what classes some of the professionals or others might have taken to get them into the field.
