Starting from Week 11 there will be no lecture where we mainly focus on projects on hand and seek for Mr. Fauzi feedback to improve the work.

📸PROJECT 4: SELF TITLED - ANIMATION

Going into final week I mainly work on the final animation of the poster.

The steps are relatively simple: importing the psd file into After Effect, and add transition to each element

• To make the galaxy "moving" at the background, I utilized scale, position, and rotation to achieve this effect

• I also wanted to make "twinkle" effect for the planets, so I adjusted the opacity to change time to time

• For the running person at the bottom, I wanted to make it slide running from side to side, but I felt like adjusting position itself would not reach the effect I wanted. Hence by online research, I founded out you can make path through pen tool

• Lastly, adjusting timeframe graph

The animation is ready to export! To export the work I rendered the animation file.

Final Outcome

Reflection

Surprisingly the process of animation video making is simpler than the poster itself as I got familiar with simple adjustments on the transition of the objects. In my opinion, as long as you have an overall idea of how your video is going to look like, it will be easy to know which effect to apply.
