PROJECT TWO – FINAL ACADEMY LEADER
November 5, 2009
Here is the final Academy leader that I created. Initially, I had the ratio of the screen 4:3. But then decided to make things more exciting and unique by making it really wide instead. This not only worked well visually, but allowed the numbers more freedom as to how they appeared on the screen. The biggest challenge this time was working with After Effects, as there were many technical problems that kept popping up. This piece is meant to be experimental, therefore a combination of techniques are used such as stop motion for some numbers and moving other numbers directly in After Effects. The beeping sounds were mainly sounds that would found in cartoons. As this would enhance the whole experience of revisiting ones’ childhood which was what I was trying to stress through using Lego blocks.
