Title: Home Run Excitement!
Semester: Spring 2024
Software: Adobe After Effects
I chose to use the emotion of excitement while creating an animation of a home run being hit. I tried to choose as many colors as I could for the stars at the end but wanted to make sure the main focus was the blue background and the orange baseball bat. I approached the pacing by working to make sure the placement key frames for both shape layers were moving at the same time; it was difficult to figure out how to be organized at first but once I was able to get a hang of keeping the work station organized it was smooth sailing after that. Having two separate shape layers for the ball and the bat made it much easier to sync up the keyframes for movement. I had a lot of fun working on this project and have a new found appreciation for animation.
