  • Tsui Lau: “Great course covering so many areas and going into lots of detail. Louay was very descriptive and went through easy to follow, step-by-step stages which was very helpful as a complete AE beginner. Would recommend!”

  • Drek Fite:Louay is an excellent teacher. There is so much in this course, and there is no way that you can remember everything. However, I think it is the best overview of AE available. I’ve already come back to review certain portions of the course when working on various projects, and that is very helpful. Making good use of the Notes feature too for such a large course is helpful. Louay was extremely fast at responding to questions and viewing my work that I posted on YT. I would highly recommend this course.

  • Warren Bingham: When I learn anything online, the first thing I have to like is the instructor’s voice. You’re going to be listening to this person for a long time so you want to feel comfortable with the way they talk. Louay is awesome. The entire time I spent learning (and it was little bits mostly every day) it was like you were in a proper class with one of your friends showing you how to do things. He’s got a great sense of humour and doesn’t go so fast it’s all a blur. I’m in no ways an expert on After Effects now, but I have a really good grounding to keep going. Highly Recommended!!! Thanks Louay. And if you’re ever in Brisbane, Australia. Ping me a message and I’ll take you out to dinner 🙂
