After Effect: Lesson 3 Boiling Technique

     We were told to bring three images we sketched out each on different paper. The images had to be near the same position and mainly the same thing because this will be effective for this lessons purpose. I sketched mine immediately the moment I entered the class because the completely slipped out of my mine after two weeks of different process and productions lessons.

Cereal Package Design

Lesson 2 - Generating Package Artwork
 Package Layout guide
     In this session we was introduced to the artwork production pipeline necessary for taking our package design through to print and physically construct. From this lesson we needed to bring the layouts created in the first lesson and also an idea of a colour palette. The outcome from this workshop will be print ready artwork for your cereal package design. 

The simple man
The smug character I chose and illustrated on Illustrator. I chose this character because i like this man.I really like different
things, maybe everything is simple, but i like the simple style.
When I finished the package, I feel I still have a lot to learn. I am not very satisfied with this work, because I saw other people's work when I felt my own shortcomings, I am not satisfied with my ideas about the package work.

Second class, the tutor  let us continue to do the last class to do the content, but this is different from the last work. We must selected  a good one in the last time. It is enlarged, a letter a4 paper, a total of 16 sheets of paper. I thought  a long time, and then I select the" i am the ruler", I think I can put each letter, and i can made sense of a ruler on every fonts. I used white marker pen and  black marker pen to finish this work, I think the process is very long, but I am very satisfied with the work.

After Effect: Lesson 2 Loop Experiment

Loop Experiment

After Effect Lesson 2


   This is music video shown to us as an example of the type of loop we was going to create this session. Kylie Minogue has been looped through the video more 4 times. The video is relevant to the type of video we will be producing in todays session. What we needed is a small footage that could loop, one of the good examples is someone standing still and jumping up once. The footage is advised to be one second long as it will be more effective.  
                         

Loop experiment inspired by music video.

Come into my world by Kylie Minogue
For this session we will be generating one clip running 10 seconds long at 12 to 25fps.  I had previously prepared making my clip that I could use within the loop clip, I used my mobile phone to take 1 to 2 second long video. I had made certain that nothing would conceal the subject I was trying to catch as i will be needing to use the pen in After Effect to crop out. The subject I had on video was of another student walking to the right and jumping once. I chose the jump because it would be effectively easier to crop out. Initially I searched a short video clip such as a gif to use but only came across cartoon style short gifs that and it was preferred for us to videos we had recorded ourselves. I continued to work with the clip I recorded of my colleague and I had cropped out the body jumping, then searched for a copy free right background of a city, ensuring it was HD quality.  

For this session we will be generating one clip running 10 seconds long at 12 to 25fps.  I had previously prepared making my clip that I could use within the loop clip, I dnowload the gif from google. I had made certain that nothing would conceal the subject I was trying to catch as i will be needing to use the pen in After Effect to crop out. The subject I had on video was of a mouse. I chose the mouse,because it would be effectively easier to crop out.

Personal idea poster

Personal idea poster


 This is my idea of the ultimate idea and I into the Chinese and British culture, with a simple hook line tick the Chinese and the British clothing. On the coin, I also replaced the original full pound of the way, China became the British pound coins and collision. In the background, I used a dark red, so that the screen looks more cultural.
