Week 9: Finalising

As said last week I was aiming to complete my animation and after putting a few man hours into it I managed to get it to a point where I could just tinker with it if need be. After creating more assets this week and already have the app designed it was a relatively fast process. The video is around 1:40 in length and not only shows off my app and the design of it but explains how it would work whilst showing off different After Effects techniques. I wanted a professional looking video and nothing too fancy as most of the app reveal videos I researched used simple and effect techniques to reveal the product.

Again a few screen shots of my work (of course its hard to show the animation within still shots):

After being happy with my final product I decided that I would have some time off within the 2 week easter break and just tinker and play around with a few small things within my project but nothing too serious and within week 10/11 I would focus on my reflection and PDF for the deadline.

Week 8: Music, SFX and Continued Production

Progress with my video length has been fairly bad this week after getting to around 20 seconds I decided I wanted to try and find copyright free music and SFX’s to compliment my video. After searching the web for some time I managed to come across some music and SFX’s that were of good quality and also fitted within my video nicely. After adding these into my animation I felt my video was really starting to come together and would aim to get the foundations or all of the animation done so I could then just focus on finishing touches.

Week 7: Start of Production

This week I began to create and animate my final video, using the some of the assets I created last week I managed to create around 15 seconds. Starting the project and making it as I go along really gives me the freedom to take the video in whatever direction I would like.

Here are a few screen shots to show my progress:

Having around 15 seconds I could also start to think about what sound effects and music I would like to add in to give the video more depth etc. I will look into copyright free SFX and music to compliment my video.
