After Effects

This week we have quite a few work shops on how to use After Effects. After Effects is a piece of software which allows you to add graphics and movement to your pictures and clips.

The first workshop we had we were just leaning how to use the basics and this is what I made.

On our second day of the workshop we played around with how to make the text look like it had been written as well as other movements and this is what I came up with.

Green Screen Practise

Today we had a work shop on how to use green screen. It was really interesting and we all go the chance to be filmed in front of the green screen and then edit our clip ourselves by taking out the green and adding a relevant background.

Here is what I came up with.

Major Project Update

http://twinniesdoc.blogspot.co.uk/

Mine and Maddie's major project is well under way now we have secured an expert to give some psychological input into our documentary and we have also arranged to film our first set of twins this Sunday. We are still liaising with the Mac Twins manager and they still seem keen to do it but they are quite busy at the moment to it is just fitting in with them and we have almost got our 3rd set of twins sorted.

We have done so much work for this project we just hope that it turns out the way we want it to. As it is going to be quite "Youtubey" we want it have lots of graphics. We are hoping that after we have had our After Effects workshops that we will be able to make these graphics ourselves but if we can't then we are going to have to commission someone to help us but luckily for us we go to a creative arts uni and so I'm sure we won't have trouble finding someone to help us.
