10:10 After Effects – Sleek Slideshow in AE

By now your should be wrapping up with the LTA Photography assignment. Details are in Google Classroom. There are a number of deliverables for this project so make sure you review.

Ok, this demo is a little more heavy lifting than yesterday. However, once the initial set up is complete, we can quickly assemble the rest of our photos.

So, let’s dig in to After Effects and look at some custom slideshow options we can create using our AE skills. If you have a couple of pictures to work with, great find them now. Otherwise, you can use my examples and since you downloaded to your desktop yesterday, this should be a good place to start. We will be creating multiple compositions in one composition.

I’ve written up the process for your reference. Make a copy for your files.

If there is time we’ll also play around with making a light leak.

The Font I am using is ITC Avant Garde

11:20 How to Learn from your Mistakes and Level Up Assignment

People often describe failure as a teachable moment— a necessary stumble on our way to improvement. Let’s watch a short Ted Talk animation about how learning from our mistakes isn’t always easy.

Next, look over your assignments from the Quarter. Is there one that can use some more improvement? Use this short window to look back at your work and figure out which assignment could use a little more attention. This might be a chance to take an assignment to an A.

Pick One (and only one) assignment (if you are all complete). Rework and resubmit. You can email me the assignment directly for grading. You have until the end of the day for this revision. Use your time well.
