Fundamental Projects

Bouncing Ball: This was my first animation done in

Adobe After Effects. It It briefly introduced me to the program

and helped me get familiar with the buttons and screen that the animating

program had to offer.

Fundamental Projects Animating Text:

This assignment helped me explore After Effects even more and allowed

me to become conferrable with the program as well

as expanding my knowledge of effects.

Fundamental Projects

Animating Shape and Shape Modifiers:

With this assignment I was able to explore even

more what I could do with After Effects using shapes. It allowed me to

become prepared in animating my characters that I would be using in

my Teaser.

Animating shapes and using modifiers also helped me create my personal end bumper that would be

used at the end of my Teaser.

Fundamental Projects

Ice Title: This assignment gave me a more

complex view on using After Effects and the different ways I could animate. Originally in my teaser I was going to use hands appearing as if trapped and ice

but due to time constraint I eliminated that shot. These

images were the final product of the Ice title.

Final Project Teaser

For the Final Project we had create a beet sheet and

a production plan. Although these aren't

graphic, I decided to put these in my portfolio as well because they really helped my production

pipeline organized and it made sure I met my

deadlines.

Final Project Teaser

These images represent the beginning of my Animatic/Storyboard. I choose these

images because they really got my idea across of what

direction I wanted to take with my Teaser. It allowed me to put my idea on paper and pursue my vision. Creating a animate also allowed me to

use my knowledge of Premiere Pro that I was

learning simultaneously and allowed me to further my skill.

Final Project Teaser

These schematic images are the first to represent the color

theme that my teaser would have. It allowed me to play with

colors and give me a better prediction of what my final

product look like.

Final Project Teaser

Although not sure if I would finish on schedule. I made sure

the graphics I made for my teaser were what I wanted to portray through the screen.

Using Illustrator, After Effects and Premier Pro, and

especially the techniques I used in the fundamental

lessons such as wiggle, and the bouncing ball really helped me achieve the story I wanted to

convey. Probably the most challenging thing was to animate my characters.

At the beginning of every shot I would have to think through first on how to go about animating the character walking and moving around. Over all it was a great experience to learn how a movie is actually made and how much time and work is put into shots that usually only last a few frames.
