So, in last week’s blog post I talked about how I was going to test out some shape animation. Well. I did it. I mentioned in the Hans Richter blog post about how I was going to create shape animation but give it a more modern feel. Well, again, I did it. I created some shape animation. This was honestly not as hard as one would imagine, and the actual test footage looks good. I feel like this would work well underneath the rotoscoped layering, so I’m going to adjust the frame rate and lighting issues I’m experiencing with the clip. This whole test was done in Adobe After Effects, and now I feel like I’ve got the hang of it somewhat. How it was done is quite incredulous to explain, so I’ll do my best in doing so. Below are four screenshots of a clip opened in After Effects. Each screenshot showcases a shape, be it a coloured cube, lines, dots or the other coloured cube. In each composition, I made movements to each one, so for instance, the lines, they move up (or down), and with the cubes, they rotate. Once I got each shape final composite and movement down to a t, I then compiled them into one composition, made some sizing and scaling adjustments, did a pre-render then exported the clip. And the example linked above is that exported clip.
here to edit. I intend on doing many, many more of these shapes. I will not be writing about the other ones, as they all will follow a similar pattern of construction. My next blog post will about rotoscoping, so stay tuned for that!
