That's a Wrap

So I am going to make this post short and sweet, but I want to say how much I have learned in this class. The information and skills that I have gained, I know I will be able to use in the future. Whether it be for a job or just because I am bored and want to have some fun. I know that I will be able to use after effects to help.

The projects that we made for this class were all a lot of fun and helped to expand out knowledge on each section of after effects. Making these reels from scratch though was the most fun because we can say that we created these things from nothing. And that is what I am the most proud of.

Thank you, Arturo, for making this class enjoyable and knowledgeable because I never would have been able to learn it otherwise.

The 2013 Summer Video

Most of the posts here are about work that we've found by other people, but today I wanted to change things up a little and show off a little something of my own. This summer I did more traveling then I ever have in my life and some great shots were taken along the way. I've been working on this video in my [little] spare time this semester and I finally finished it yesterday!

I incorporated some basic animation in the video to follow the rhythm of the song, although most of it is just done through cuts to different shots. The end credits I made in After Effects, along with the final clip at the end which some of you may recognize from our first project :) Now it has audio though!!

This is definitely not an animation-heavy video, but hopefully it shows how versatile the clips we made in our first project can be. With a few extra edits, I may make it my little tagline to put at the end of all my videos. I'm thinking of changing the lens flare to just a simple text glimmer that goes across my name. Let me know if you guys have any other suggestions!

Anyways... without further adieu here's the 2013 Summer Video:
