Cinema4d - Premiere Pro Presentation

Using the images provided we created a presentation using premiere pro. This is a software I have used in the passed but not extensively. After opening the Adobe software I created a new project and specified a location in which to save the file. I needed to create a new sequence; 'File' 'New Sequence' name the sequence and then select the preset  'HDV 1080p'  I imported the images using the 'Cmd I' and locating the files I wanted. I then dragged my first image onto the timeline, before adding a few more into the sequence. I used the same image for the opening and ending of my presentation. Selecting the first image on my timeline, I search for Blur in the Effects menu, and added Gaussian Blur effect. I sat the 'bluriness' to 30 and applied it to the beginning of the first image in the presentation. I applied 'default transitions to the beginnings and ends of all the images.  We were asked to add a title slide, selecting the type too

AfterEffects - Infographic

Rugby (Converted) from Jade Holmes on Vimeo . We were asked to create an infographic on AfterEffects to go into a group project. I wasn't in the lesson so used one of the sections that needed to go into the reel and created my own. Mine needed to be based around 'There are 13 players on a side in Rugby League' I created some of the elements in Illustrator.

AfterEffects - Z Space

Before class we were asked to create a one layered composition on Illustrator, ensuring every object was on a separate layer. This would make life easier when reopening the Illustrator file in Adobe AfterEffects. Once deciding on a space theme, I used royalty free images to create planets. When in illustrator I created simple circles and then used the 'Pathfinder Tool' to cut the texture into a planet shape. I used the pen tool to create my rockets and spaceships.   T he outcome of this workshop was to create 10 second movie using my prepared artwork, and to learn the use of 3D tools in After Effects, including cameras, pre-comps, building and constructing 3D scenes, textures and objects in addition to special effects. Sara gave as an excellent example of what we were going to learn how to achieve, and the extent of what the tools she was teaching us could achieve.  MGMT - All We Ever Wanted Was Everything from oneedo on Vimeo .

Self Publishing - Bread Typography

Nick sent an email around asking for us to bring in bread in for his workshop. We were then asked to create typography using the loaf we had brought with us.  I decided to then take the project further by using sugar.  Sugar from Jade Holmes on Vimeo .

Cinema4d - 3D Character

I first created a cube using the dimensions 400x100x200 and added segments 2x1x1. So I could see the segments I had to turn on 'Gourd Shading (lines)' which meant the separate polygons were visible. I right hand clicked on the object and when to 'make editable which means that I would be able to edit the object.  Making the centre two points selected using the points section tool I dragged it down 50/60 centimetres. I rotated round so I could see the top faces. In the tool bar I selected the faces two and selected the top two faces to begin to add more polygons onto my object. Right clicking brings up a menu, I selected extrude. When using the the extrude tool you would think you just drag the mouse in the direction you want extruding. This is not the case, to extrude correctly you need to drag the object to the right hand side while still holding the mouse button. I first extruded above what I already had to the value of 100. Using point editing mode I also the used the

AfterEffects - Rotoscoping

We were asked to create an animation using the technique called 'Rotoscoping' this a frame by frame animation using masks as the main tool for the animating. I first need to create a video in which I would rotoscoping over.  video-1534355282 from Jade Holmes on Vimeo . I start at the section that I believe I would need the most points. Using the pen tool I out lined my object.   Moving back frame by frame I began to move the points on the mask to keep in line with the movement of the hand in the video.  The main tools I was using where the pen tool, hand tool and the convert vertex tool. I then needed to shorten the video to the parts I animated which would give me an advance when creating a loop.  After selecting the layer I went to the layer drop down menu at the top of the screen and enable time remapping.  I then added the expression which would cause a continuous loop. Imported the textures I wanted to use : they are all from Pixabay (ro
