In class today we had a recap of using Adobe After Effects. Irene provided us with an already existing sketch, which we then traced and attempted to animate.
Important things to remember:
- Edit composition settings first
- HDTV 25 fps (1080/720)
When animating a character we must split everything into separate body parts.
The screenshot above shows my attempt to trace the sketch in After Effects. I experimented with using non realistic colours. Overall, the After Effects software was quite similar to using the pen tool in Photoshop and Illustrator, yet I still think that Illustrator allows more flexibility in adjusting the outlines etc. Subsequently, I don't think I would use After Effects to draw out characters as it takes much longer than necessary, and doesn't suit my style as much.
