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.

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 .

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...

I first began by drawing the same image of a ninja three times. Due to the terrible quality of the photographs of the images I wanted to animate I decided to use illustrator to image trace each individually to improve the quality. I would usually use a scanner but did not have access to a working one at the time. When using my Mac at home I had an issue exporting jpegs from illustrator which would then work in AfterEffects. Although I could not figure out the reasoning I copied the ninjas over to photoshop and saved them as jpegs, which then worked in AfterEffects.  It was key to import the three jpegs into AfterEffects at the same time, when more than one file was selected the option 'importer JPEG sequence' was given to me. This was mean the images would be imported as a sequence so therefore I ticked it. Once the file has been imported I need to go to the 'File' dropdown menu at the top of the screen and select 'Interpret Footage' 'Main...' ...

In this workshop we were to explore geometry in relevance to AfterEffects. I chose to use a pink and white colour scheme to begin with but in my second attempt I used a simple black and white, which I believe looks more effective. I learnt the following techniques in the workshop: transitions such as Venetian blinds and how to distort objects. The wiggler was very simple to use once I got the hang of it.  First Attempt - Exploring Geometry from Jade Holmes on Vimeo . Workshop 1 - Second Attempt from Jade Holmes on Vimeo .
