You've seen the Intros in films and videos on Youtube for years. Have you really paid attention to them? Probably not, but now it's time. You'll make a short Intro that you can use for years that will play before your animation productions.
Watch some examples and get a plan for your own. Pay close attention to different styles, motion, timing, arrangement of elements, information & overall success. You will create an Intro that represents you or your production company to use before your main animations.
Mr. Nourse will cover the basics of After Effects & Autodesk Maya.
You can use what is covered in class and/or additional online tutorials that you find.
You have 4 days.
Use any program or combinations such as Photoshop, Flash, After Effects, iStopMotion, Maya, etc...
Here's a playlist that will give you ideas. Let Mr. Nourse know if you can't access it b/c of the AISD network & he''ll log you in.
Include a self created logo (can be from Animation I class last year)
Inlcude
Text with appropriate meaning & messages about you and/or your company.
Ensure appropriate timing of all elements
so your Intro is smooth and everything is readable.
Graphics/Animations should be professional, appropriate, and necessary for the message of the Intro.
Graphics and animations must be clean, clear, undistorted and fit completely on the screen.
All fade in/fade outs, transitions, effects, etc. should add to the message & smooth, not abrupt or choppy.
Audio should compliment the Intro timing and motion overall.
(For Audio you can use Garageband, Audacity, Reason 7, etc. to produce or Creative Commons to download)
