Welcome to the SEK Technology Development portion for After Effects

First off, Welcome to the SEK TechDev After Effects info blog. I'll try to keep up on this one more than I do my personal blog...which really isn't saying too much. Anyway, a quick overview on what I hope to accomplish with this blog is as follows:

1) Create awareness in the community about After Effects and how to use it
2) How it integrates with other Adobe software in the CS (Creative Suites) package
3) Creative uses for it's application and use

I realize that there are probably other more creative means to finding out information about After Effects, so I'll try to eliminate "re-inventing the wheel" in many cases, and simply link to areas and other helpful websites that show examples, and in some cases, allow you do download the files needed to replicate what they are demonstrating.

I will try to post video files and audio files just to hear and see myself...okay, maybe that holds a little bit of water, but moreover, to attempt to illustrate what I may be working on, want to point out, or simply to offer a helpful tip in a more "layman's" speak, than you might find in a book or through another site.

If you have questions, ideas, suggestions, please know that you can simply post here, or you can reach me at the contact email above. I'm also available on Twitter, for those of you that take part in that with the name take2_host1, or you can reach me via MSN messenger (please request the address first).

Thanks in advance for allowing me to put my knowledge to use and for letting me be a part of your learning experiences.
