LECTURES

On the tenth week of Digital Photography and Imaging, we are introduced to the basics of Adobe Aftereffects. Adobe Aftereffects is an 2.5D animation program used for animation, visual effects, and motion picture compositing. This program also allows you to edit imagery which you are able to combine layers of imagery and video into the same scene.

Motion graphics animation works by manipulating vector graphics and rasterized art on order to tell a story. Physical based media can be included in the form of images and video.

When compositing video, it is important to rename layers according to the content of said layers as this will help your to pick the right layers that you want to edit. Layers will have to be organized using other platforms such Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustration. Adobe Aftereffects does not embed media on to its file, rather they link to the media. In other words, deleting the media or moving the media elsewhere result in missing media if you enter the Aftereffects file.

For this week's practical, we are task with animating elements from the Adobe Photoshop file and upload them on Youtube.

Following the tutorial video and Mr. Fauzi's advise, I create the following animation:


Ever since I was a young teen, I have already first heard of the existence of adobe After Effect and I had wanted to learn to use it for quite sometime. Now that I have learn to somewhat use After Effect, the childhood dream has came true with this exercise. I had fun working with moving several elements of this composition. It is also quite interesting to see what the other's come up with, especially ones that I find rather comedic.
