Hey, I'm Jake Bartlett and this is the Retro Chrome-look in After Effects.
This iconic graphic style is a staple of the 1980s,
and in this class, I'm going to teach you how to recreate it in After Effects.
Together we'll be building a completely procedural effect that can be easily updated,
adjusted, and reworked for any project that you're working on.
I'll teach you step-by-step how to animate the text,
build the Chrome look, add reflections and
degrade the overall image for a more retro feel.
What's great about this effect is that you can apply it to not only text
but any graphic or even a logo and it'll automatically update.
If the '80s isn't what you're after, that's no problem.
I'll also show you how to make a few simple adjustments to
completely change the way that your reflective material looks,
so that you can create exactly what you're after.
This class is for anyone with a basic understanding of After Effects.
If you've never used the program before,
then check out one of my beginner's classes first,
like the beginner's guide to
animating custom gifts or the beginner's guide to After Effects.
I hope you're ready to blast back to the past and learn
a whole lot about procedural workflows in After Effects.
I'll see you in class.
