Month: May 2020

This is my final video project about my character Potatomole and here is basically the wrap up of everything I included to make it something of my own masterpiece. Throughout the process of animating, putting camera effects, and visual/textual effects along with title/ ending credits, it was both strenuous and interesting. Yes, I was able to make a character that I was able to make based on what I wanted from the start of the project but honestly, what made it difficult was learning the technical skills and being proficient in multi-tasking on the requirements I had to implement on my project. In the end, despite when there was a certain day, such as the 15th of May being stressful for me, I still pulled it off. In fact, I pulled off some late nighters into this. However, I am satisfied with what I created.

This animation includes effects from Adobe After Effects software. I used used effects, the lens flare and textual movement. For lens flare, I tried to give the setting as if it was a bright sunny day and the character walking outside the sun and then the brightness of the “sun” would go away. For the text, I decide to put it at the very end to give like the introduction of his name. However animating this was very tedious and the difficult part was learning the technical aspects of the software and figuring out the exact moment those effects would be shown and the movement. Overall, I like it.

This is an animation of my character Potatomole, using the camera and  other technical aspects of the After effects program. The difficult part was getting to use the mechanics of the program, especially with the positioning, camera adjustments. Overall, I was able to do so. There are many things I could definitely add such as music, text, and more.
