“Using Kinetic Typography to Tell Your Story”
Motion graphics are very popular these days, but an age-old truth still applies: content is king. Motion designers are still storytellers. Because of this, it's often important to communicate both clearly and creatively. One excellent method is the growing trend of kinetic typography. In this presentation, Kenny will be sharing about typography and the art of blending relevant images with moving text. This presentation is aimed primarily at intermediate users, but should be informative for users of every level.

“Advanced Shape Layer Techniques and Camera Moves”
Ever use shape layers inside After Effects (or have you even heard of them?) Maybe you have and wondered what they are really for, or why would anyone use them. They don't even look that good -- oh but they can, my friends! For one of the most overlooked and underrated features of After Effects, we’ll take a journey down the shape layer road and learn not only one of the most robust features in After Effects, but how to make them look sexy as well! Learn advanced shape layer techniques and some snazzy camera keyframing as well.

"Making AE Work For You"
Why should you have to do all the work? Many people can use AE to make great-looking designs, but even many professional designers do a lot of things the hard way. AE is full of features, tricks and shortcuts that can do a lot of the work for you. Through the use of scripts, expressions and proper project organization, you can greatly simplify several common AE tasks, and get your work done faster. In this presentation, Kyle will dissect and discuss the mechanics behind some of his finished projects, and discuss general tips and tricks on expressions, parenting, and project organization/streamlining. This presentation is aimed primarily at intermediate users, but should be informative for users of every level.
