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.
