Opening Adobe After Effects (AE) for the first time can be a bit shocking. While AE is powerful, it is not the most user-friendly software. I’ve heard many stories about people opening, and then closing AE because they just felt lost.
In this 3 part series on Adobe After Effects featuring Phil Ebiner from VideoSchoolOnline.com you will learn the layout, tools, keyframes and how to build your own lower third using After Effects.

After filming with the Canon C100 Mark II for over a year, it is about time I got around to reviewing it.
In this video I breakdown who I think the C100 MK II is great for, who shouldn't get it, how it compares to shooting on a 5D Mark III (including side by side test footage), and whether it is worth the money nowadays even if it doesn't let you shoot in 4K.

“Sitting is the new smoking”, that’s what people keep telling me anyway. If these people are to be believed then I’m a metaphorical chain-smoker. We all are. Apparently we average 9.3 hours a day sitting. If my math is correct that’s like smoking 37 and three quarters cigarettes a day. Not really but you get the point.
However I didn’t want to spend the $500-$1,000 it would cost to get a standing desk. Even if I did fork out the money and make the switch that would only solve my problem when I was at home. I work from multiple locations.
