This project wasn't hard I just had fun doing it an issue I encountered was trying to get shatter to work I used scatterize instead which had the same effect  

Kinetictype

 I experimented with some effects the hardest to use was the smear effect other than that it was tedious to match I really just had fun with this project

Creepy Cat

The Creepy Cat 

In this project we were introduced to after effects. Which we had to do five things to the composition.

           I used the pen tool to make a mask which then keyed the path to form a unicorn. 

           Used a particle effect to sell the magical unicorn 

           I keyed color correction on the cat to make it look empowered 

          

 The tool that worked best for me was the masks and moving them. The tool that gave me the most trouble was trying to get a particle effect and getting it to act how I wanted.  

            

Complex Ball Bounce

                                                               Ball Bounce

 

 

Explored principles: Timing and Spacing, Creating Keyframes, Creating in-betweens, Squash and Stretch, Anticipation 

    

Time and space: how far each frame is from each other and how fast
  
              

Key frame: Major frames start and end of actions

In-between: Frames in between key frames
   
            

Squash n stretch: Squash an object and keep its volume

 

                                   
                                      Anticipation: Ready the audience for a motion like a dancer jumping   

                                       
                                      Perspective: A way of portraying depth or distance on a flat 2-D surface

 

        

 For this project we had to make the ball bounce down a cliff, but with anticipation I also added a perspective view to the jump.


I had little trouble with this project the only thing that I ran out of time to fix my arcs their still more like diagonals I also feel that the ball could've gotten smaller at the end

              Exaggeration: to over act a motion

 

         


 For this project I turned my ball into a guy who hits the ground most of my focus was getting  the guys arms legs and head to move right I also added a background overall I like the chalky look I was able to get

  

The hardest part for me on this project was getting the limbs to move naturally with the motion and the most difficult thing to keep the natural was the mans head mostly the size of it. 

Count Down Project

 

Count Down

 

 

Explored principles: Timing and Spacing, Creating Keyframes, Creating in-betweens

 

              Optional Principles: Squash and Stretch, Exaggeration, Anticipation
           
              Time and space: how far each frame is from each other and how fast
  
              Key frame: Major frames start and end of actions
 
             In-between: Frames in between key frames
   
             Squash n stretch: Squash an object and keep its volume

              Exaggeration: to over act a motion

              Anticipation: adds suspense to a film                                                   

        To use these principles in this project I could use a ball hitting a number for squash and stretch. I could also make a number sit in the same place and then have something random happen to them for anticipation I can also mess with how the numbers come into the scene.


 The only problem I had with the project was my numbers blending into my background, but I do wish I had more time to add more details like shading and splashing.
