After Effects Video



I'm not sure if this works or not, but this SHOULD be what I did in After Effects...

Like I said, I wasn't able to figure out how to animate a still, so I did this instead. It was much easier, and it took much shorter to figure out how to do it. My suggestion to my teacher next year is that the students should be able to choose what after effects tutorial they can do, so long as it's appropriate.

Final Post

During this semester , I have created many works of art, many trial and error, to create the works that you currently see on my blog. The first thing that I did was create a bully poster. I used a combination of Photoshop and Corel Painter. My poster was designed to send a message to people about the dangers of cyber bullying. The next thing I did was create a portrait. I had to create two portraits because one of them wasn't good enough. At one point, we had to animate the portrait using After Effects, but I wasn't able to do it, because I couldn't figure out how to work the software, because the tutorial we were given was using an older version of my current software (It was a common problem, and I wanted to kick the cr@p out the person who thought making this was a good idea). Instead, I did a intro clip using a different tutorial. I'm not sure if my teacher will approve of my substitution, but hopefully she'll understand. The last thing I created was a Threadless T-Shirt design. It was to be submitted to the website for critique.  Over the year, what I learned is that art can take much time and patience. It can take much time, and many edits and additions, to perfect a piece of work. I have learned to be more patient with my creations, and be patient with how it turns out. No matter how long it takes, it will eventually come together.

(I'm a notorious procrastinator, so making all of this took lots of focus and patience, especially from my teacher, Ms. Robinson, whom I personally thank for being so patient with me)

This is the portrait that I made for the class. I like what I did, making him look fresh from the flame. It was what I wanted to create and I'm happy with it.
