Lessons in After Effects

This week, my class had some introductory classes in Adobe After Effects. Mainly, we learnt about the basic functions of the programme and how to use it to make short video clips. The teacher would demonstrate some new techniques which we would then experiment with individually. As we aren't currently working on an assignment, it was suggested that we use the lessons to create a short video portfolio displaying a selection of our work. This is what I created:




A couple of weeks ago we also had some lessons in Flash, which was a lot of fun, but generally speaking I found After Effects much easier to work with. There are so many little details that you need to remember when working in Flash that After Effects just takes care of for you. I had a lot of fun this week whilst making this video and I'm really looking to working with After Effects again in the near future.
