In the practical workshop today, we had the task of creating our very first animation. This is what I had being waiting for since the course started; the chance to create.
Our lecturer Paul sent us a .psd document which contained many different layers: a moon, a dark background, an alien, an eight ball, a wizard and a flame. It was our task to make a short animation using some or all of these layers.
To create the animation, we opened the .psd file in Adobe After Effects - a popular animating tool. In the previous workshop, Paul had shown us the basics of the programme and this was our time to show what we had learnt.
Below is the outcome...
As you can see, it literally connotes nothing and makes little sense. However, I am very happy with it. I thought it would be a very hard task to make images move in conjunction with each other, but After Effects makes the process simple.
This is my very first animation and is something I am proud of. At the end of this course I am going to compare my final assessed task with this, to see how much I have improved.
