Multi plane

What was this project?

This project was where I created a multi plane scene. In my "setting" it feels like you are viewing while you are moving for instance walking and the scene is still like in real life.

What did I learn?

I learned how to use multiple layers. I also learned how to use filters and textures. 

How did it go/ what would I do differently?

This was the easiest project I have done so far and I feel like I used my time well. I think if I hadn't been sick it would have been one of my only projects that would have been during the time given to work on this. 

Walk cycle

What was this project?

This project was where I created a character and had it walk across the screen. This was done by drawing a character then scanning it into the computer, editing it in photoshop and then creating a walk cycle in after effects. The characters feet would move taking the rest of his body with it. 

What did I learn?

I learned how to use a null object during this project and also how to use the parent tool. I also learned that after affects is not my favorite software in the world. 

How did it go/ what would I do differently?

I think overall this project went well and I used my time wisely. I think out of all the project I have done so far this was my project that I used my time well on, I wasn't behind. Something I would do differently is I would break apart my image before scanning it into the computer. Something I would do the same is I would use a nice simple background. 

Inchworm Project

What was the project?

This project was where we made an inchworm that moved across the screen in after effects. The inchworm would scrunch up in the middle and slide back down inching across the screen. The worm would repeat this motion all the way across the screen until it disappears from sight. 

What did I learn?

With this project I learned how to use the puppet pin tool. I also learned how to makes arcs better and how to make a complete character move and not just a ball. 

How did it go? What would I do differently?

   Overall the project went well as far as I was concerned. I thought I used my time wisely. Something I would differently next time is that I would make my inchworm aa solid line instead of different colored circles all connected together to make it more convincing.  Something I would do the same is to use the same placing for the puppet pin tool.
