Use After Effects to animate a still image.
Assignment:
You have been hired as video animator by ILM. They want you to create an animated video advertisement for a beverage company. You are to follow the directions given by the project manager for the target audience to complete the project. Once complete then you should review the checklist for grading criteria before turning in your work. Complete and submit the online rubric for this project once it has been completed.
You have been tasked to create the Dancing Can After Effects project. You can alter the project any way you like, but must have a can that dances, an animated background, and animated text. The length of the animation should be 30 seconds long, but can be longer to fit your song if you like. You choose the song (must be school appropriate) and you choose the can (must be school appropriate). You must include a catch phrase or original slogan as well that must be animated at some point during the video. You can use the tutorial to animate the text or use any of the pre-made text effects.
Make a new project in AE, make a new composition with the HD setting (1920x1080) and change the duration to 60 seconds. Then follow the steps in the tutorials.

The video tutorial is in the folder on Google drive.
Save the project as a AE file labeled last name + first initial + can. Export your completed video as a Quicktime MP4 file using H.264 Compression and combine it with the title you created in Adobe After Effects. To export as an MP4, you must click File>Export>Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue.
You can then use Premier to complete project if you would like.
