Today in class, we previewed a few classmates' name animations that we did in the previous class. We were then shown how to use photobooth in order to take a picture of the description of us by our partners. I just took a picture with my phone, as you will see below. We were then given a walkthrough of Youtube on how to upload a video and make sure that it does not play ads when you present your video, as well as how to get the embedding code to embed it into your blog.
Next was a demo of AfterEffects. We were shown how to start a new project, new composition, adjusting composition settings such as frame rate and video size, import files, and creating layers within the document. Then, we were shown how to render our creation by adding to render queue, editing the format, and outputting it to a file.
We had in class work time to start our next project, which is called Sequential Dreamscape. The instructions were:
Through the sequencing of words and backgrounds, give the impression of a dream you had or heard of. Use 5-7 words, colors, backgrounds, and background textures. It must be still frames only, one background and one word in each frame at a time, and the words must be at the center of the layout. The words cannot create a sentence with meaning, just like a dream. The color and texture background must be the full width of the screen.
Program: After Effects; Size: W720xH486; Length: At least 15 seconds @ 24fps; Publish: .mov
Homework:
- finish Sequential Dreamscape project, then upload to youtube and embed into the blog
- watch After Effects videos
