PRACTICAL

We were given a Photoshop composition and Mr. Fauzi asked us to animate the layer/elements by using After Effects and applying the techniques that Mr. Fauzi demonstrates to us in class. 

After Effects (AE) Exercise Requirements: 

1. Download the composition
2. Import the PSD file to AE 
3. Composition setting 1080px (width) X 1920px (height), duration: 15 sec
4. Create keyframe animation to the layers using Position, Scale, and Masking Path 
5. Render Output: Quicktime (H.264)
6. Upload on YouTube 

After Effects Progression:

FEEDBACK 

REFLECTIONS

This exercise helps me a lot in learning the basic thing of After Effects which I don't recall a few of the steps that I've learned last semester. As I'm not very familiar and kinda struggling using AE, Mr. Fauzi do helps us a lot in providing video demonstration by showing us step-by-step from animating to exporting. Although, I thought it might takes time for me to get use with AE, I'm glad that I could animate and learning new stuffs especially on the masking. I believed theres's more to learn in AE but for now I'm glad that I can animate them through AE. Slow progress is also a progress!
