Intro to After Effect

Adobe After Effects is a 2.5D animation software used for animation, visual effects, and motion picture compositing. 


After Effects is used in film, TV, and web video creation.


This software is used in the post-production phase, and has hundreds of effects that can be used to manipulate imagery. This allows you to combine layers of video and images into the same scene.

After Effect







FEEDBACK

For the first trial , Mr. Martin told me to add the end of the lighter and also make it more of a portrait / zoomed in into the figure. 

For the Fiery Chilli #2 my friend told me to add more of a shadow on the lighter part to make it more realistic.


REFLECTION

Project 2C

From this project I have learned that editing in photoshop is not an easy task, just cut here and there. But we need a lot of thought in it. I realized that the effort that we put in the editing will be projected into the artwork. Also we can manipulate the objects placement and visibility with many methods, there is transparency, or can use some clipping mask and gradient, and even the blending mode.

Overall this task made me realize there are still lots to learn in photoshop. Can't say that mastering photoshop is easy. In technique, I learn to judge a design in the technique perspective of editing, is it a good editing or a good execution. And lastly, I learn to sharpen my ability to develop a unique and cool ideas  for something surreal.
