It's the final lap like Germ says it. Today is Day 29, two more days to submission! As predicted, we were rushing mad! Doing our final aniamtions and editing.
Germ, Kirin and I stayed till 11 plus to rush the editings. Good news, we're almost complete!
Germ did audio editing, video editing and finalised the bloopers. btw, her audio editing skills are awesome. Also, she did a final round of check for the bloopers to ensure she got the correct cuttings done and that it was sufficent before passing it for me to work on the credits. She also basically pieced up the work we had all done into premier, so when it comes to editing, everything goes smoothly! And, her four animated figures coming to class, sch was really great effort! The flying part is good!
I touch up on my Alan animation. And btw, did i say,i faced a huge problem with the constant moving camera and it was really hard trying to make the animation synchronize with the moving camera.
But, Germ gave me the idea to make the animated Alan come out later and also that when the camera moves to a certain angle, we wouldn't have to show him, and it helped a lot. I re do the back part which i have done at home and now at least it looks ok. After the animation work, i worked on the credits showed with bloopers together with Kirin. We used after effects for the credits and the end work. After Effects is awesome, i mean the way you can play around to create beautiful effect and i realsied through this proj that after effects isn't that scary afterall. Yes, i thought it was all along! I typed out the video concept and created the effect for silent movie! imovie is awesome!
Kirin helped me with the credits and retype the script and did the photography animation. It was good, the little Germ holding on to the sign!
Jas did the 2D art fun animation and helped Kirin along with the other animations. Good job to all! The animation was all completed by today. The work over the weekeneds really helped! Btw, thanks to Tri for teaching me how to do the roll- up credits more smoothly! Thank you so much! The credits looks better now!
So for today, which is Tue, all we are left with is to join the credits and bloopers, the silent movie all together. Then, we will include in the final audio editing and the warping effects. And all should be done!
Kirin left to complete her other module work and Jas went off around 8pm plus as she had to go to her Grandma house. Jas added in my animated figures for the 2D fun before she went off. W
e wasted a lot of time today doing rendering, saving, exporting and all. The bloopers were kind of choopy and some parts were slowed down after the rendering, so we had to re-render and checked the seetings over again.
Germ and I stayed till 11 plus. And during that period of time, we met pro with slow coms, using the wrong pro for warping effect and having to re-do it and also the audio. But, we told ourseleves to slowly adjust it all and at last, we finished all of it but not rendering. We got chased out by the security guards so rendering would be done tomorrow. We've decided to meet at 10 to give ourselves sufficient time.
Btw, thanxs Apple for telling us Premier could do warping effects and had the one we wanted.
At first, we used Pemier to cut up the wanted parts, then import into After Effects and manually adjusted the different types of warp we could choose from. We had to do the opacity and also the width and all. We finally finished it all, but wasnt happy at all because it wasn't the warp we first wanted.
We then took a break and watched Apple's group video and it had the warp we wanted. So, Germ and I was exclaiming "where did you find that?" And she told us Premier Pro and we were like, so we put in all these efforts for nothing! So we decided to quickly re-do it after Apple taught us how to get it. The warp was good and what we wanted. Quite glad and relieved!
It may be a small matter but it taught me that all these progs are there for us to explore it. We have to explore it on our own free time if we want to excel, instead of just waiting to be taught. So, we are all done and tml is the last day! LAST DAY! ((:
