Description

Welcome, you will learn visual effects techniques in After Effects to  create futuristic interfaces to add to your sci fi scenes and increase  the production value of your film.

You will learn how to create different categories of elements:

Radar

World map related: turning globe and world scanning look

Text

video feed of special operation

Gauges

Sound elements in several shapes

Once you watch the course, practice: Start by a map and turn it into a rotating globe, then create other futuristic elements using the same techniques.

Create variations of the same elements you have created, just by changing  rotation direction, speed, width, dashes, opacity... the more variations  you can create the richer your interface will look.

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone interested in adding fancy futuristic interfaces to his/her production
