If you have a basic understanding about Adobe's After Effects, but you are looking to enhance your skills with this industry product, Andrew Kramer at Video Copilot is your main source. Andrew specializes in motion graphics and animation using the After Effects package from Adobe.

Today, I looked at his newest (and free) tutorial titled "3D City." Andrew walks us through the process of creating a 3-D city at night by using 2-D photos acquired from Flickr. The tutorial is 36 minutes long and goes at a relatively fast pace, but even so, it is very easy to follow and he mentions basic steps along the way.

I always enjoy Andrew's tutorials because I love his teaching style as he always mixes light humor into his tutorials. The quality of his videos are always great so no worries about squinting to see exactly what is going on...I mean, after all, he is an After Effects expert.

So, without further consideration...here is the link to to this awesome tutorial. I couldn't embed the video this time because they are on his website and I want to be able to drive traffic for him.
