New Website for Somnium Inc.!

Since Somnium Inc. and its sister company FXDepot Productions are free and do not earn income, because of our strict regulations about education and its right to those who ask for it, we have taken some time to properly create a new FREE website using the available options in sites.google.com. I know, it wont be much, but nevertheless, I have strived hard to create one now, because since Somnium is a free company, it does not wish to apply for yearly paid domain names on the internet and premium website templates. So we have created a tutorial based website: sites.google.com/site/somniumtutorials. The site has a single package for non-members who are not registered properly with Somnium Inc., which you can do through the Join Us! Tab found on hour homepage, which is a very basic introduction to creating 3D Buildings in After Effects CS3, CS4 or CS5. There are currently three main courses up for registered members. Basics, Using Plugins and Animating Graphics + Track Motioning. With this complete three-course set, you can learn the techniques you need to know, to create your own graphics independently without the help of other experienced designers. To join for any of these one-month courses, just register with us for FREE, then give us your email id. We will send you our weekly two-day tutorial package through attachments in emails. Learn these steps. After the end of the course at the end of that month, a small test will be held and you will be deemed passed or failed. Once this is done, and considering you pass, you will also get a special printable certificate from us approving your completion of our course. WARNING!: This certificate cannot be used for purposes such as applying for jobs or even shown as experience in the field of graphic designing and After Effects because Somnium Inc. and its sister company FXDepot Productions are not recognized as an establishment in the graphics designing field. We are merely an educational society trying to teach young aspriring graphic designers how to use modern-day editing software to create motion graphics and animation!
So anyways, I haven't posted in a lot of time. Oh, and by the way, I'll also be having a new section in our company that we call Weekly Reviews, which is basically some of the experiences I've had with some of the best gaming sites in the entire world, so check that out with our tutorials also! Good night, this is Ram, signing out from Somnium Inc.!

Somnium Inc.

As you guys probably know by now, the only reason you've visited this site was to access video tutorials on projects you may have probably noticed on Youtube or in other ways! The first thing I'd like to tell you, is a little something about my little company. Its called Somnium Inc., wherein the word 'somnium' in Roman literally means 'dreams'. This is not based on any concept which has anything whatsoever to do with the company and is simply a name. Besides that, Somnium Inc.'s branch of After Effect video tutorials is FXDepot Productions, which is currently hosting tutorials on Youtube under the same channel name. This blog is for FXDepot Productions, and will be used also as a standard Somnium Inc. blog also. I hope you enjoy our tutorials and I also hope you'll join and create a more healthier network of graphic designers who'll help other aspiring designers to fulfill their dreams! Thank you for visiting us! This is Somnium, out!
