Sara - After Affects 2

Rota Scoping

In this after affect session we were rota scoping.
Rota Scoping is a long but enjoyable process.

The first step of rota scoping is record a short video, 
this video should be around 3 seconds long and 
should be able to loop. 

Using the pen tool I then drew around Alice 
on each frame, closing the points each time. 





I then copied all the frames and pasted the frames to make a longer 
looped video. 

I then started experimenting with colours and textures for the background
and the shape. 



The video of Alice had removed from after affects,
But I like the pattern that after affects replaced with 
the video. 


I then created a background similar to the pattern but different 
colours. 

I then added music to the work to give it a finished touch.

SARA - after effects 3

In this process and production we were asked to bring 3 drawn materials, all the same drawing no changes.  I chose to draw a cartoon fish. I scanned my images onto my computer and sizes them up correctly using Illustrator and lightened to create a white background. I then imported them into After Effects.
 
In After Effects I Generated a stroke to originally make the footage look as if it had been drawn. I didn't like this affect so i decided to make the fish look like it was rubbing on to the work. 



After creating the animation I tried to add a scaled back ground. I added multiple affects to the back ground to try give a water affect but didn't like the out come.

 I then added one of After Affects own bubble transitions and used this as a back ground. and liked this a lot more.
