Week 12

Week 12

CH 320M Organic Chemistry II

Project: Intro animation and iPad overlay for Dr. Iverson’s O Chem II class
Client /Prof: Dr. Iverson
Completion status: Started January 10, 2023
Staff guidance: Julie Phillips & Maddy
Description/plans: Edit the Organic Chemistry intro animation for O Chem II and Dr. Iverson. In addition, create an iPad overlay for O Chem II.
To be completed: January 12, 2023

Intro Animation

The challenge with the intro animation was some of the original editable files weren’t uploaded to the box folder. I had to make do with the parts we had (which were most of them) to create an intro similar to the original mp4. Julie and Maddy were very helpful in answering my questions throughout the project. Most of the process was just reuploading images from the box folder into Adobe After Effects and then editing it down to closely match the original.

iPad Overlay

The original iPad overlay had the lionfish image cropped and blurred with filled text boxes. Maddy suggested fading back the image (and provided an example) and removing the colored text boxes. I think this made the overlay look more modern without distracting from whatever information will be posted onto it. Fading back the image also made it more ornamental to the overall overlay:)
