Category — After Effects

You have proabably noticed that i havent blogged myself for quite a while. The main reason for this is that I have been picking up Cinema4D and After Effects Cs4. I am finally starting to get the hang of the these pieces of software and its brilliant! This post is mainly to show you some of the work I have done in C4D. I have done 2 different wallpapers.

Desire / Cinema 4D + Photoshop CS4

Passion / Cinema 4D + Photoshop CS4

For After Effects I have been creating little scenes with things like moving water which arent really worth posting here, but here is a screenshot of one of them.

So there you go, some of the stuff I have been doing to help me learn these tools. I feel that now my art work has really stepped up a pace now, and hopefully you will agree too :D

In my effort to learn After Effects CS4 and create high quality visual effects/motion graphics stuff, I created this little recreation of the famous iPod Nano advert to help me learn how to use After Effects and the Trapcode Particular.

Now this makes heavy use of Particular and uses the wiggle() function to create the random motion for a minute.

It’s fairly basic but it helped me learn the basics of camera movement and how to get to grips with animation in After Effects. There will hopefully be a lot more AE/VFX coming soon. I have a little Flash demo on the way, but after that it’s a free road!
