Process of Final Project

Part 3 : Execution and Post-production / Animating and Finishing

I started working on After Effects by importing all the layers from Photoshop.

I wanted to animate several parts : doodles, aurora, butterfly, waves and flower. The most challenging part is the aurora and waves. I tried to get aurora with green screen, and removed the green screen in Premiere Pro, but the results is not what I want. 

So, I ended up creating my own aurora. I changed its blending mode when I added it into my poster.

For the waves animation, I used puppet tool to create a wavy effect.

After finished animating, I exported using Media Encoder and here is the video outcome (no music).

Finally, I added free royalty music taken from YouTube and published the final animation on YouTube.

Final Video Submission - Week 13 (18/11/2021)

Drawing, from the most basic mediums like paper and pencil, to digital drawing tablet and illustration software, is a way to express ourselves.  I draw, because I find drawing is a way to release my emotions, and to enunciate with others. It is the way I connect with the world.  The art has the power to change the world. It can reinterpret the meaning of life and death, shifts our perceptions and values towards the reality. The pen I am holding becomes the spark of my creativity. I create blooming flowers, clouds on sky and butterflies surrounding me. There is no restrictions, no hard and fast rules, everything can be achieved in the world of art. I enjoy art, and I wish I can remember every moment I draw.  



FEEDBACK

Week 14 :

Great work! The animation at the background is minimal, and the viewers can focus on the photography. Good job.
