Ae & El Director
0I was first introduced to digital video editing my junior year of high school. I had enrolled in a video productions class where we used Adobe Premiere 6.0 to edit our spots for a weekly news show. For some reason, I picked up on it pretty quick. It was also during this time that I [...]
Ae & Dave Bittner
Not long out of college, with a contract position in a government broadcasting facility and a little bit of money in my pocket, I purchased a Mac Quadra 700 and a product called Digital Film from SuperMac. Digital Film claimed to be a complete TV studio on a card (it wasn’t) and bundled with it [...]
Ae & Michelle Higa Fox
Like most 22-year olds, I finished college without a specific career in mind. I thought about pursuing interactive art, or maybe working as a video editor. Then, while working in the trenches of the nascent motion graphics industry, I realized Adobe After Effects meant I didn’t have to choose. We used After Effects as the [...]
Ae & Ben Grossman
As a visual effects supervisor at Pixomondo, there’s never a dull moment. Working in visual effects is fast-paced, and we’re always pushing the limits of what can be done. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work on a number of really great projects. I started out mainly as a digital compositor and naturally [...]
Ae & Nizar Jendoubi

Ae & Aharon Rabinowitz
I like to tell people that seeing Star Wars (the original) in the theater changed the course of my life. But the truth is that while seeing the film introduced me to visual effects – it didn’t actually allow me to create them. It would be a long time before I could, but from that [...]
Ae & Missourial
Late in December of 2009, my brother in law asked me to send him any old photos that I had of my sister as she was turning 60 in early January of 2010. I emailed him all the pictures that I had of her. I then thought that it would be nice if I could [...]
Ae & Shaostyle
My very first editing software that I ever laid hands on was Final Cut Pro. I learned it at school. I never new anything about After Effects until I started watching videos on YouTube. I was silly enough to think that I can do anything I wanted on Final Cut until my friend turned me [...]
Ae & Amir Stone
Developing After Effects is one of the most rewarding things in my life. Coming straight out of college with a background in art, film, animation, and computer science, I was lucky enough to land a position as a computer scientist on the After Effects team. Five years later and I’m loving the experience more than [...]
