1. Comments
   1. In the last checkpoint you exported your complete video to your Dropbox. Go to dropbox.com and find the file and click on "share" and type your WP email in "Send this link to" so that it will post to your WP.

1. Then email the link to your WP post to two students in class that do not sit next to you (one boy and one girl) and have them make comments during class as a WP comment in the post on what they like about your video and three things you can do to improve it for your big project grade. Have each of them also fill out the checklist (there may be some printed on my desk, if not then print it) and turn in on the teacher's desk by the end of class.
2. For the next checkpoint in turning in the final project, it is worth 20% of your grade and you may not use an extension form for final projects but you can use a coupon to delay the project 24 hours.
3. Do not do:
1. Submit
   1. Upload the final video to YT, Vimeo, or Picasa and email your final video link your WP and the video link to the spreadsheet. You will be graded based on the rubric.

Also, submit your video link using this form below:

Cut on the beats (create in AP, edit in AE)

The main emphasis of your video is the visual effects with AE and you use a list of effects.

Complete all of the following using the composition you already made when you combined your two camera footage into one in AE with the music. Example project.

Do not do:

Camera Effects

Apply the following AE effects: Camera Shake, Speed Variation, & Zoom (directions).

When finished take a screenshot of your Zoom effect (one screenshot zoomed in and one zoomed out) and type the time in the video of the completed camera shake and speed variation, type in an email to WordPress at what time you applied each of the three effects, which will be check in class.

1. Credits
   1. You will be creating 7 second or less typography animation as a new composition using the default wide screen, white background, according to the video tutorial that says Created With Media Using After Effects by Your Name. When finished, you will insert the composition into your dance video at the end.
   2. Productions Intro [example by Sarah Kim]
   3. Create a seven-second intro in a new AE composition according to the directions:
   4. Taking what you learned from the AE Typography tutorial, you will create a production's name and animation that will appear before your dance video as a short intro to signature your work.
   5. Make sure to follow these guidelines:
   6. -Make sure to choose a Productions name: e.g. Starlight Productions, Gray Pictures
   7. -Use the concepts you learned from the mouseflip typography tutorial but don't copy and use the same design. Also use things you learned from other tutorials you did like the Dylan lighting. This is where you really need to use creativity.
   8. -Do not go overboard and have too many effects and things happening. It needs to look clean and professional with purposeful animated movements...not just random typography movements.
   9. -Choose a color scheme that will work well together. Avoid flashy colors; most use dark bold colors. It is usually good to have a white background.
   10. -Your new time frame is 7 seconds but have the first second or two just black and still...don't start or end on animation. Notice the example starts with a solid and then the text appears gradually and it fades out at the end while leaving a second or two at the end.
   11. Student Examples:
   12. Hannah Kim
   13. W. Her
   14. Matthew Kim
   15. Grace Ryu
   16. When finished post to YT and the link to WP. Then upload it to the MF Picasa album and the link to the spreadsheet. Then insert the composition to the beginning of the Dance Video and make sure that your credits are at the end. Render the final video; you are finished! Upload to Vimeo and name it
   17. AE Dance by Your Name ft. Dancer's Name
   18. Also use the title as the file name and Air Drop it to Mr. Heil at the beginning of next class.

1. Project Quality A
   1. This checkpoint is not a checkpoint but rather a project classwork grade so make sure you turn it in on time. I will be grading your project for quality and the requirements so far is all of the previous checkpoints. Later in the quarter you will receive an additional final project grade for the dance video. Make sure the video is 1-2 minutes in length. 1 point deduction for each second out of the time constraint.

1. Render your video using Adobe Media Encoder (tutorial) as YouTube and go to Settings and choose YT (example above). Then submit your YT link using this form below (you do not need to post the link to the spreadsheet at this time).
   1. Project Quality B
2. If you submitted the previous checkpoint (part A) on time through the form above, then you should have been given feedback from Mr. Heil in class on how to improve it. Make the needed changes and submit it through the form above for a quality grade. No need to post anything else.

If you submit your YT link over the weekend early before Sunday (May 19) and it is complete without any missing requirements then you will receive 90% instead of 60% for any late checkpoints.

DO NOT DO:

E. Credits

Apply speed variation, zooming, film look, lens flare, sound effects, & add your typography tutorial at the end while changing the background color of your typography tutorial credits to white if you it is not already (you may need to change some of your text colors to contrast well with white) at the end of your video which will be your credits.

Render as H.264 to YT and email the link to WP and also email it to one of your classmates and Mr. Heil. In the body of the email post ask your friend to check over your DV on YT and type out three things they liked and at least three good suggestions as a YT comment on how to improve your DV. Post the YT link to the spreadsheet. Make sure your audio works well.

F. Proof

View your YT comment from the previous checkpoint & make adjustments so that it is better. Then render your final video as H.264 with audio, save it in your dropbox, & name the file:

After Effects Dance Video by Your First & Last Name Featuring First & Last Name of the Dancer.

Upload to your Vimeo channel and post the link to WP. Then upload it to YT as unlisted and post the link to the final project spreadsheet. Be prepared to give Mr. Heil the file in class for grading as well.

Finally (& very important), copy the the list below and paste in a comment to your video on YT, type where Mr. Heil can find each of the requirements to aid in grading (e.g. Clone: 0:23) :
