This course provides intermediate and advanced AfterEffects techniques, using standard and production tools for color keys, compound effects, scripting, particles and advanced tools for type animation. Students will work on production of a variety of motion graphics projects using AfterEffects, and will be incorporating source material from video and programs such as PhotoShop, Illustrator and Flash. A study of contemporary motion graphics trends, projects and practices will be included. Students will create projects that demonstrate refined procedures in animated visual communications that encapsulate the student’s individual style and message.
