Description
---- 2020 Update ----
This 2015 course has helped hundreds of people create animated videos for their business. The Powtoon interface has changed a lot over the years, and due to popular demand (students hounded me to keep this course live) this course remains available. The lecture content is still so valuable in producing great videos, FAST. The shortcut 'Workflow' in this course is still 100% magic, and applies equally to the old and new HTML5 platform.
The big news is that I have created a completely new 2020 course (using a different animation platform) that has a lot more advanced capabilities. If you want the best of the best, you can find the new course by clicking on my instructor profile and viewing my other courses.

Would you like to increase your sales by using promo videos? How about an animated video where you don't even need to be on camera?
Video has a huge impact on your brand credibility, and on sales. They produce substantially higher conversion rates (where customers go from browsing to buying) and you'd be crazy not to use them in your business.
The problem is they are either expensive or hard to make.
Not today.
This course is a major shortcut to your first animated promotional video. We'll be working together in each lecture creating your video as you learn. No 'learning for learning sake' here, just actionable and productive lectures.
Hear what my students have to say about this course:
'This is a short but excellent introduction to PowToon. Yes, it's outdated but don't let that put you off. Most of the content is about how to create professional videos and the instructor's tips and advice are worth the price alone.' -Adam Robson
'This was BRILLIANT! After going through this course I felt like I was using it like a pro, I already knew all the tricks to work around the limitations of the system and was able to produce my first, very professional looking video is a really short amount of time, THANK YOU!!' -Paul
'Pure information - no clutter! Enjoyed this course so much, you'll save about $104 thanks to lecture 5. This course is a shortcut to mastery.' - Brandon

without wasting time learning to master complex programs like Adobe After Effects.
Plus you'll have my proven workflow (PDF) that produces quality videos in the fastest time possible.
30 Day Money Back Guarantee. You are backed by Udemy's 30 day refund policy. No sweat.
Who this course is for:

- This is for business owners who want to 'punch above their weight' with amazing animations.
- This is for creatives looking for a shortcut to quality animation.
- This course is NOT for people looking to learn Blender, After Effects or 3DS Max. We use Powtoon exclusively.

I founded and ran a high end medical clinic for 8 years in Sydney, Australia. We spearheaded the introduction of genomic testing to the public and publishing house Penguin Books commissioned a book documenting these exploits for release in 2015.
I also created a nut manufacturing business that makes 'the best nuts on earth'. I qualified as an aircraft pilot in Sydney, trained as a lawyer at the University of Technology Sydney, studied post graduate law at Victoria University, received an MBA from the Australian Institute of Business, and spent years leading teams both corporately and for community groups.
I trained at the Australian Institute of Music - Classical Guitar, but secretly love playing the piano. I also briefly worked for Elon Musk, who is a thoroughly decent - if not obsessed - guy.
I have a 'hungry brain' that is addicted to learning, thus the lawyer/pilot/musician/manufacturer/medical entrepreneur qualifications. I believe one career is not enough. We have the ability to be much greater than we are, so don't settle; grow!
