Loops and Living Holds Workshop from louise fielding on Vimeo.
First of all i created an illustrator file and i made sure that every addition to my character was on seperate layer. This allows the animation of those seperate layers.
I also chose some textures to be put in my video at the end for the background. I got these textures off free texture websites.
In after effects, I created a new composition, imported my illustrator file, then animated each layer to my preference with the key frames and stop watch and using the rotation tool. I learned how to use the wiggler tool on the glasses which makes the key frame process as it does the rotation of the key frames automatically in time you want it to move. Then i imported my textures dragged them down in the composition window and messed around with them until i got the textured background i wanted.
I enjoyed making this video because it is kind of comical, and it could be useful for the future and adds to my growing knowledge of animation, i need to use thses skills ive learnt and improve the way apply these techniques to my work to improve the outcome.
