Air Battle

15 minutes spent brainstorming on what to title this project, and my creativity levels at close to midnight weren't very high.

I quite enjoyed making this project. Working with these programs and maneuvering through them are becoming alot easier. For this project, I went with an airplane fight in the sky to show an array of movement, rotation and scaling. But of course they couldn't be regular planes, so I made them paper airplanes. More fun that way. After layering the planes and background, it took me a tedious amount of time positioning, rotating, and scaling each plane to get my final product. I added in some gunfire, an exploding climax, and a couple of paratroopers to finish it off.

Sadly I didn't include audio, but maybe I can update that in the future...

Just Another Night...

First After Effects project i've even done. It was interesting trying to maneuver thru this program. Several tutorials later and this is the product i ended up with.

I started out with 6 stills that i drew myself. Yes, i know, i'm no artist. Scanned them in the computer, and fixed them up with photoshop. This project helped me alot with photoshop, so that's good. I'm getting more used to that now. After importing the stills into Ae, i lined them up in the timeline and added some dissolves between slides, and made my character move from one point to another while driving her stake thru the vamp's heart. All in all, this project was alot more stressful than it should've been, but pretty much turned out how i wanted it to. So i'd call that a success.

I'd also like to add that the concept and audio of this project belong to J. Whedon, Mutant Enemy and FOX. I am using this for school purposes only.

When Night is Falling

First project of the semester-- to create an original layout in Photoshop --which was not a labor of love. More like a labor of hate and anger. Mostly because of having to learn a program I have never used before. Idea after idea, swear word after swear word... and here is the final product. My picture shows a split image between night and day. I kind of just had that idea stuck in my head for days and just ran with it. A few layers, contrast and color adjustments, additions of a howling wolf and some gravestones, and much more tedious laboring brought me to this.
