Our last exploration into After Effects will involve some COMPOSITING. We will be "Green Screening" you into a scene. So, we need to do a little bit of acting. GREEN SCREEN FILES

As a class we are going to create an animation using a technique called ROTOSCOPING. CLICK HERE for the files you need.

For our first full project in Animation, you will be creating your own Excite Bike Race. CLICK HERE for the files you need. OTHER FILES BONUS MARIO LEVEL PROJECT

We are going to move into Animation next. CLICK HERE for an introduction. Our first small demo will introduce the technique of KEYFRAMING. CLICK HERE FOR THE SAMPLE FILES.

For our last project before the break, you can choose to create some stickers, holiday cards or both. For your stickers, you can create characters, icons, logos etc. But they MUST be vector linework created by you. You CANNOT simply copy/paste images to print. Each student will be given a letter sized amount of vinyl sticker material. For holiday cards, you can choose to design a full size letter page, or flip it horizontally so that it can be folded.

Continuing our vector artwork, you are going to design coins/tokens. We will learn how to work with text as outlines and on paths. Focus on silhouette style or black and white shapes. Design a MINIMUM of 3 coins/tokens. Pick your favorite to get cut out.

Let's introduce a couple more tools... Bezier/Anchor Point Tool Shape Builder ...then using what we have learned we will create some characters. CLICK HERE for that project .
