Week 3 - Out of Class

Today I worked on my rhythm motion project in after effects. I showed Paul what I had done in class and he had suggested that I make the type turn together in two sections instead of individually. So I applied that change to the first half of the word and the second half then saved it separately. Once I decided how they would entered I left the beat how I had it during class then mirrored the entrances at the ends to create the characters exits. This allows the video to loop correctly.

After I viewed the video in its entirety I felt that the beat in the middle section was not reading well so I went into the timeline and at different points of emphasis I made the scale get even larger. This change helped a little but it still was not working as well as I hoped it would so, I opened the timeline again and revised the beat to be simpler. This revised version is at the top.

In the video I used all of the transform tools in the timeline with the exception of anchor point. The only time multiple tools are used is at the entrance and exit. During the middle only scale is used so the composition does not become too chaotic.
