My crit was with luis. We spent a bit too long critting as only the first three sequences I had made in the last workshop got looked at.
Heres the feedback:-
First sequence
- obvious answer (is that good or bad?)
- needs to have a funner colour as the word (bounce) is a fun word - maybe a curvier typeface / less structured
Second sequence
- not as effective and direct as the first but likes it more - less obvious
- looks like a homing beacon - homing in on a point - not quite bouncing
- keep at and even pace - think about gravity
- the letter 'O' could enter to bounce all the other letters around (could be confused with collide)
- the letter 'O' could enter from the side instead and bounce to exit on the opposite side
Third sequence
- not clear where the letters are coming from
- need rotation marks on some of the letters
- direction is needed to show more clearly where the rebound will take the letters
- assembling in the middle is odd as the frame is whats acting as the solid that the letters are bouncing off
- type face again?
- use pencil for travel marks and arrows instead of pen as it looks like an object included in the sequence rather than an annotation device.
Questions & Answers about After Effects
Why is it 25fps?
- actually 50 half frames fit together to make the 25 frames
- its to do with electricity and frequency
- TV works in 50 HRTZ in the UK but 60 HRTZ in the USA
- 1 HRT is equal to 1 frame essentially
Is zooming out and making things smaller the same thing?
- yes
- but you can go about it different ways
- camera layers
Why does it take so long to render?
- complexity of frames and number of frames
- e.g. stick man over 2 secs = 50 frames + simple content - this is quick to render
How can you make text transform / warp / become 3dimensional?
- there are filters for it
- text presets
- 3D filters
- 3D box above timeline panel (2.5D - look at desperate housewives intro and lemon snicket, tale of unfortunate events intro)
