Today’s modern office setting, especially in the technology production and design fields is based on solid project management practices. Companies like Dealer, EASports, Zynaga, Google, General Motors all work in teams formed for specific purposes.

Activity #2 Trello
Create an account with Trello (https://trello.com/en-US) using your school gmail account. The style of board you will be making is called a KanBan board. We made one the other day so all you probably need to do is just use the login with Google Option

11:50 – 12:25 Working with Audio – Making Visualizations with After Effects
Music Visualizers are a type of music video that combines music with visuals. An Audio Visualizer uses the frequency data from an audio file to control visual effects in the video itself. Audio visualizations continue to make the rounds on social media accounts and are really easy to make with Adobe After Effects. Let’s play around with the process.
We’ll need to convert audio into keyframes using the keyframe assistant. Then it is just a matter of loading up effects and using some creativity. Here is a write up on the process (for your records – make a copy). I have a folder in Public Folders under Adobe After Effects resources for you work with. Or you can go out and find a piece of music on your own.
