AFTER EFFECTS (YIPPIE – KI YAY)

YIPPIE – KI YAY (Adobe After Effects)

I’m really happy with the final result,after affects is very in depth and a pain in some cases as most of it is based on timing working with typography and shape.

The reloading of the gun creates the anticipation of the shots about to be fired, the opacity tool is used to make the bullet holes appear quickly by moving the keyframes closer together. everything went my way except when exporting the file it didn’t include the background colour it only displayed a black background.
However the black background did look very effective when collaborating with the blood red circles.
The original colour was to display cream skin colour to convey are person being shot at.
To improve this the gun fire audio would be included to make the clip more gritty and engaging and small footage of an explosion at the beginning to grab the attention of the audience.
The Font is called ‘Haettenschweiler’ its very gritty and bold which matches the tone of the clip and stands out.
Saul Bass was my inspiration the way he uses shapes to tease or summarise the plot and even though he uses a soundtrack for the opening sequences, you can still identify what tone and plot the film/TV series has if you mute the sound.

One thought on “AFTER EFFECTS (YIPPIE – KI YAY)

  1. Good experimentation (be sure to check the categories) this shows development of ideas and problem solving which is part of the making criteria for the final assignment. Improve your own formal writing however by avoiding the use of “I” instead think about how the audience will perceive it.
    Ways to summarise information next time instead of essay type writing could be bullet points about what you learnt, Problems encountered, success of final piece etc.
    As for Blog Design this theme with the colour makes it hard to read or use so consider a redesign. (Screenshot a before and after however.)
