Animation

 

Animated words and emotions

Create an animation in After Effects that uses abstract shapes, colors, and text to describe an emotion. You will start by creating a storyboard to plan your sequence – use this template. Make a composition in After Effects that is 10 seconds long, with the HDTV 1080 29,97 preset. Your composition should include solids, text, and shape layers. Animate some of these properties: opacity, position, scale and rotation. After you have completed and saved your project, add it to the Render Queue and render it out to Quicktime (.mov) and MP4.

Here are two examples:

Upload the following to blackboard:

  • The After Effects project file (.aep)
  • Story board file.
  • Create an open lab post with the MP4 file embedded and a short statement. Use this template.
