WHAT IS AFTER EFFECTS?
Embedded Files
Adobe After Effects is an application for visual digital effects and motion graphics. This system was created by Adobe Systems. Many graphic designers use this application for animations and post production projects. This app allows you to use all the other Adobe application at the same time while working on your project.
For my final project, I decided to do a safe driving PSA. Here I retold the story of my car accident experience to encourage people to be careful on the road and think about others as well as your own well being when driving recklessly. Creating awareness around this issue, I hope one day I can create a viral project to really show people that driving isn't a game. Racing, texting, or being intoxicated while driving can ruin someone's life and your own.
PROCESS
I began this process by creating a story board. This prepared me by laying out each slide to have what I wanted to say and draw. Creating my vision on paper helped me see my thoughts written out.
Next I brought my story board into Adobe Photoshop and began cutting each scene out and creating separate files for them. I then brought each file into Adobe After Effects where I started laying out the timing of each slide.
I then started to create my drawings in Adobe Illustrator. I researched images that influenced my drawings. I used the pen tool to create each one.
Then I started to insert each drawing into Adobe After Effects to start to create each Composition slide. I added transformations to each text and drawing using opacity or paths to make my images move. I used the pin tool to make some of my images move on their own.
Lastly, I looked for music for the background as well as sound effects. To do this, I used Youtube to find copyright free music.
