Final Project Bonus

FINAL PROJECT PART 2

The next part of my project was for a film project I did in another class. I desired to make my intro cool so I decided to do a bit with after effects as a way to take care of this desire and to couple it with my after effects final project, a little two birds with one stone action if you know what I mean.

For this I took footage of me zooming in on a reflection of an air vent. I couldn’t zoom in all the way with the camera so my goal was to make after effects do this. This was extremely difficult and I got Ben’s help on this one. We created a mask that looked like vents right in the same place as the actual air vent. We then motion tracked and I believe a few other things I can’t even remember how to do. The end result was rocketing the camera into blackness via the camera tool.

At this point I created a simple title sequence. I aligned the text in a 3D world of blackness and made the camera travel in a “U” shape. I also made it feel a little unpredictable with its movements by messing with the cameras positioning. At the end of the sequence the camera moves in on air vents that I created using masks. Layered behind the air vents is actual footage from my film project.

It turned out really great and I am really satisfied with how it looks.
