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).

You can drop in the Cawd2 Dailies folder. This is not a graded project, but a practice session with support.

10:45 Break

11:00 Husson University Presentation – Library

Ashlie Beales is the Program Outreach Specialist for Husson University’s School of Technology and Innovation (SoTI) She is joining us to talk with you three exciting degrees in their new program: Bachelor of Science Degrees in Software Development, Computer Information Systems (CIS), and Extended Reality (XR).

CAWD2 sent a student there last year and she is very happy in her new program.

12:00 Transferrable Skills Evaluations

Next year you are either going to continue your education or join the workplace.

Transferable skills are exactly what they sound like: the skills that you use in every job, no matter the title or the field. Some transferable skills are hard skills, like coding, modeling, animating, or other technical skills, and some are soft skills like communication and relationship building.

Think of transferable skills as part of your career tool belt. As you progress through your senior year, you will want to develop your skills to best prepare you for successful experiences after school. Specifically:

Self-Direction / Working in Groups and Teams
Clear and Effective Communication with others & adults
Creative and Practical Problem Solving
Citizenship

This morning I’m going to hand you a rubric to review. The rubric is your self calibration tool to determine where you see yourself now. 20% of your CAWD grade is made up of Transferrable Skills.

At the mid quarter and end of quarter, you’ll have a chance to evaluate how you are progressing.

The goal is to improve and refine your skills throughout the year. So, if you are quiet and not big into working in groups (I know the feeling), then this is a skill you will want to work on!

At the end of your rubric, include a goal or an area you want to work on. Complete sentences please.
