10:10 After Effects

We’ll do a quick review this morning and then let’s look at some common shapes, repeaters, trim paths and tapers to get a better understanding of layers and shape layers.

There are two types of Shapes: Parametric and Bezier.

Bezier shapes can be edited at the vertex points, Parametric shapes cannot
Shapes are Vectors (so that’s cool)
A shape layer can have more than one shape. Shapes can be grouped
If you don’t have a layer selected and draw a shape – it will create it’s own layer
If you have a non shape layer selected and draw a shape you will create a mask

We’ll make a little animation using our new knowledge. I’ll get you started and you can finish. Consider going to Adobe Color and getting a palette that works for your composition.

Rendering and Exporting Demo will be provided. We will me using AME (Adobe Media Encoder).

LTA – Long Term Assignment

Details: 10 Photos that capture Vermont during foliage (maybe Vermont’s finest season)

Vermont is beautiful this time of year. People pay good money just to come to the state and drive around looking at the changing colors, wander through quaint shops and reflect on small town life.

How lucky are we, we live here!

The goal of this assignment is simple. Capture Vermont during foliage. You will use your very best skills as a budding photographer to build a very nice portfolio of images that is unmistakably Vermont.

Description Contact Sheet: Every photo will have:

Organization & Deliverables:

Trello Board with project details / deliverables listed (shared with me)

You have full access to tripods and the cameras. This is a long term assignment.

Do not keep cameras in your car or in an unsecured location. These are expensive pieces of equipment. Please take good care of them. If you ruin your camera, we do not have a backup for you.

Today, let’s create an organizational board with the project deliverables. We’ll use Trello for this.
