Started this week erasing backgrounds of STA photos to put on the STA Presentation poster! I did the Audio, Design, and Remote Studios teams, and helped a little on the Video team photos.

 

Advanced Training: Motion Graphics

Client /Prof: LAITS
Completion Status: Started on Jan 11
Staff Guidance: Valerie
Complete by: Jan 25

For the Advanced Training on Motion Graphics I animated mock course graphics. In part 1 of the training I fixed a broken After Effects file with malfunctioning effects, and in the second part I used the puppet and mesh tools in After Effects to make an animated title card for a course.

Basic Training: 8-Bit Animation

Client /Prof: LAITS
Completion Status: Started on Jan 27
Staff Guidance: Valerie
Complete by: Jan 27 (?)

I circled back to a basic animation training because I had never done a Photoshop-based animation before, so this was interesting! I tried to animate some little stars sparkling, but it went a little wonky. I think if I were to spend more time on this project I would make my lines a little thicker and perhaps also play around with how to make this animation a smooth loop.
