Week 12: Credits and Titles

I am excited to work on titles and credits because they can enhance the film if done correctly.  I am done with the slate, but I would like to have some cool animated credits with some roaches moving across the film.  I am really hoping to have some cool credits for the end of my film with sound and what not. 

Week 11: After Effects Emotion

Well, this week were supposed to work on our next project, which was to show animated emotion in After Effects.  I decided that with the upcoming winter weather, and your lecture on how to use the snow effects; that I would do something that involved snow and driving conditions.  The only thing that I know for sure is that I want to use the theme from the Shawshank Redemption.  Overall, I think this should be a fun project because we can further experiment with more effects.

Week Ten: After Effects

This week we continued working in after effects, but on our now found object project, and I found that After Effects has a lot of aspects that can help our projects.  The basic 3D effect that I used to show my Bugs Bunny turn around, worked well in showing a basic turning motion.  I used other thing such as text, and played with the opacity, so that it faded on the screen.  Overall, I think that After Effects has many things to offer our projects now and in the future.

Week Nine: After Effects

We started working in AE and I it was a little bit of review, but good because I needed to be refreshed on certain things.  We worked with the Halloween/ Cat thing, and it helped me remember the thimgs that I learned last year with Mr.Cone.  I'm glad to to be learning AE because if used successfully, it can add an extra thing to your animation through effects, and such.  I also learned the importantance of knowing where the action box and the title box are located in order to keep my animations inside of the screen when watched on tv.
