Lecture Seven - Week 10

Lecture - 

FADP’s in motion, and transitionsLooking through all the PADP’s and how they can be used in motion graphic design.
When making your animatic have the key frames but add in aspects and parts to help with transitioning and movement.
One you have found out time you can add in quick changes or slower changes and develop this. 


Transitions -Cuts - match cuts to change this. You can zoom in on parts to change the background colours. move around the space with the changing of the backgrounds.
Cross fades - fading the frame out.
Wipes - objects moving past the screen.
Credit the sounds used.
Aftereffects -Animating type - should use type in after effects, the type tool is better than use it as a grahic.
Trim comp to work area.
Make the type, change modify and move it.
Animate text - animate scale - type animator - individual letters will be scaled.
Animation - browse presets - these are all ways you can animate type. These are a good easy way to get the effects you want to do. You can start with the presets and then develop these and make changes and other effects in these. You an copy the keyframes so all the text will come in at the same time.
Rotoscoping - tracking a mask on a moving object.
TO mask - pen tool select layer - draw around object - mask under layer - mask path  -drag corners so the mask will move with where you want it to go.
Split layer to cut where you want it to be cut - Cmd Shift D
3D / 2.5D animation - To move anchor point use the square tool with arrows facing outwards - click 3D cube, then can change all of the axis.
Can relate objects together and use them in 3D -
3D radial shadow
Lights and cameras - you can light the scene to get a 2.5 D experience. Camera - can click and move your camera around.
Layer - new mason cinema 4D file. - 3D render capability app. Extrude text - you can make anything look real and 3D.
Renderer - ray traced 3D - geometry options extrusion depth this makes the object 3D.
Cinema 4D lite - What is possible in aftereffects.

Critique with Luiz- 

Motion graphic - Not sure about the background, the pace seems a bit slow. The background textures he doesn't like, replace and change the colour pallet it is to broad. We need a consistency. The voice over is good, but could be shortened.
Website with the new layout is cleaner and better, the colour pallet needs refining for the entire motion graphic.

Working on critique - 

Colour Scheme refinement - finding a simplistic colour scheme which could reach over both the website and the motion graphic.

From here we developed the style of the motion graphic and have decided either we go very recycled feeling of very illustrative - but are unsure currently which one we will decide to continue with but for now will try both ideas.
