Lesson 3 - Channel ID, 5sec

Watch THIS

I really like Sci-fi. Okay a bit lah.

Total Element: 34
Total Effect: Glow, Light, Camera Zoom In, Stroke, Optical Flare, Flash, Lens Flare.

Learnt:
1) Words Command ( Alt+LClick stopwatch) with time*+/-150 = rotation speed.
2) Effect > Glow
3) Light
4) Effect > Mirror
5) Generate > Stroke
6) Solid state > Flares/Flash
7) Null object >  All layers link to it >  Edit

Mistake:
I feel like my timing is not good. Something is weird.

Sketch:

Progress :

As always I built up everything in AI... ( It's really take so long, just to figure out how to design it, I will try to shorten on this stage, because it not really looks nice to myself.)

Practice:

Lens Flare + Solid State( Blue ), Blending = Add, High Feather.

White Bar Moving + Glowing Effect

Placement:

Placement.

Anime Font. Why is it red, Because hard to read, and cannot be seen =P....

Sequence:

Light out everything, but only see the main target.

The two bar beside the main target initial to rotate.

While Rotation is correct. It start glowing and bars (systems) start initialing

After a while, the main signature coming out.

Hide all other elements and zoom in to target.

Flare Circle on top and FLASH! I mean flare!

Then Flash effect.

Quickly Scale in  Vertical to Horizontal.

Lastly scale out Horizontal and vanish.

Will proceed to Channel ID 10sec, but not now.

Lesson 02 - Rotoscope

Rotoscope - Drawing(Tracing) Animation

Video: 1
Action: 1 - Open Wings

I think it is the best way to observe the movement if we go into frames by frames.

Before start doing anything, import the video file. Then, enable Onion Skins.

Because of I didn't use wacom, the line is so ....haha. I used Red.

Then Blue for not be plain. maybe.

Notice the surrounding of the bird... it has a grey line shape of a bird.

After then, the bird faded away. I guess its very hard to notice.

The Pink is dropping down from the body of the bird.

While then, the blue comes in.

And fill in the details.

But dont you look down on the pink. It reject the blue colour.

The pink filled in.

Please comment, I want to improve. I don't have a good laptop and only desktop at home. I mostly not at home because.... Never mind. But when I home, I'm playing. Haha.

Sir, I feel like I never get lectured. I don't know what is the problem. But, please do help. I always wanted to make something cool, but not going to happen every time.

Practice 01

Steps:

1. First, I create a rectangle in Illustrator.

HDTV 1080p setting under Video/Film Slot.

A rectangle in the center pt.

2.

Setup a new composition HDTV 1080 29.97, duration = 5 sec 25 frames

3. Import rectangle.

Import file/multiple files

As Composition - Retain Layer Size or Footage

4. Plan on a Slime movement from going up to all the way down

A > B > C

A

B

C
Adjust the position with Keyframe, and Plan of A -> B -> C moves

5.

To make it jump, first I scale in down to long and short. Then, reposition.

Upon Impact, I scale down just a little compare to last one. Just adjust a half of it of original rectangle.

Return to shape when Drop down.

5.1 Make it more likely natural.

Upon Drop impact, I scale it to near maximum long and short.

As for Jumping-Hit-Wall Impact I scale it longer just after a frame.

Immediately take a step (square) before change back to Shape just after two frames behind dropping frame.

Back to original shape. After a frame.

5.2 Easing Method.

I easy ease on the move ' Ready for jumping '

Ease out after the impact and change shape.

Easy ease on stationary shape-changing stage.

Ease in when dropping and begin to change shape.

Upon gravity dropping, Easy out upon impact begin to change shape. And Easy ease for final shape.

My comment:
Why does it hang on the roof for a sec, because its a sticky slime. But then gravity pull it all the way down.
