Join other motion designers, animators, and VFX artists in the Twin Cities online, Thursday March 25th at 7PM! This special guest Zack Lovatt will walk us through learning expressions for new and experienced users alike.

Zack co-teaches the Expression Session course at School of Motion and has developed tools for After Effects like Flow and Explode Shape Layers. He’ll be giving you a great introduction to what expressions are, and how they can help in your projects. If you’re already familiar with expressions, Zack will have some more advanced tips.

Please fill out this survey to share your experience level with Expressions. This will help Zack to tailor the presentation to fit our members. You can also share some questions ahead of time in the Facebook group or on Discord.
