I would love to learn how to do that and add it my own video projects and websites. Thanks!

18,439 PointsThere's not much tuition on Treehouse regarding AfterEffects, you'll find lots of help on Adobe Illustrator with Mat here though:

For AfterEffects tuition you can look on YouTube or http://greyscalegorilla.com is a great motion graphics tutorial site and it's free, theres some AfterEffects tutorials on there but he mainly deals in Cinema 4D which is fun to use, relatively easy to pick up and the results are stunning, a lot of the conventions are easily transferable to AfterEffects once you get a good grip of it.
Have fun!
