FIRST OFF, VIMEO DECIDED MY FILE WAS TOO BIG. SO, I WILL SOON BE POSTING IT...ONCE I GET IT COMPRESSED CORRECTLY.
Within my 15 sec narrative for my opener, I decided to show Kibera and describing the people of Kibera. Using the words "community" and "unity". I believe this sums up and shows the view that the people of Kibera are working together. Working together when it comes to trying to better their lives, and working towards spreading the news to the rest of their community. For this project I used Affect Effects CS5.
I have honestly learned a lot about AE, and I am really enjoying it. I really enjoyed how easy I was able to do transitions between one frame to another. I learned the importance of smooth transitions, and how it effects the composition. I had a lot of trouble with this, I believe my narrative could still be tweeked more when it comes to smooth transitions.
Within my piece I wanted my transitions to be smooth and unit the text and imagery. I used direction and motion throughout the piece to direct the viewers attention and lead them.
My process was similar throughout the planning and creation of the animation. But when it came down to execution. I had a hard time deciding what I ultimately wanted to do. I think it would be best to do more planning next time. Production of this piece forced me to search and learn new things in After Effects. I highly enjoyed trying to figure it out. Most of the time...
Also learned that my frist time isn't going to look like any of the tutorials ;)
