A big reminder: you'll be presenting your own (non-post production tweaked) special effect in Monday's class.
We'll also be getting introduced to the After Effects interface, and starting to work our way into the first AFter Effects assignment – the "cloning" assignment. I'll want you to have your footage shot, and ready to be manipulated, by Wednesday of next week (8/29). We may have some time in Monday's class for you to shoot at least some of your footage.
Here are a couple of tutorials I'll show in class to lay some groundwork for the cloning project.
And here are some cloning project parameters:
1. It doesn't have to be too long. One or two minutes is plenty.
2. There must be one shot where there are at least three "clones" of the same actor in frame.
3. There must be at least one moment where two of the clones physically interact – where one visually crosses the space the other one is occupying.
4. You'll get extra points for creating an interesting scenario – some sort of "story" to frame the action. Think of this as an opportunity to create a short film, not just to do an After Effects exercise. That's the difference between the footage in the first tutorial and the second tutorial – the first is just an exercise, and the only reason you'd watch it is to learn the exercise – the second has a bit more intrinsic value, to be watched on its own terms.
