GIF Experiments – Adobe After Effects

Experimentation (Unt: 3), UNIT 3: MOVING IMAGE, UNIVERSITY (UCA)

Really happy with my GIF experiments so far, the process was really easy as making a GIF is not as complex compared to making a title sequence for as example. it only requires one movement depending on what your after in terms of repetition or movement. There is a tool called the puppet tool which function like pins that hold down specific areas on objects to mute movement. The puppet tool can be placed anywhere on your chosen object to create movement

The key frames will determine the duration/speed of the animation. After the GIF is created you go to File – Export – Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue.

This will pop up and you will need to set it as Animated GIF so the file can be used for social media like Instagram.

Feedback from Friends, Family & Colleagues

Feedback, UNIT 3: MOVING IMAGE, UNIVERSITY (UCA)

Based on the feedback from family, friends and colleagues, a lot of people really liked the concept of my ideas in general of animation and logo design. I got good feedback from my opening sequence of Mad Max people have been saying its effective and the music choice was in sync with the motion graphics. I’m planning on making more of these as the transaction between shape and text really was consistent.

My Logo designs were very popular to a lot of people, they have been saying the concept and experiments are very retro and a reference to the 1980’s decade which was my intention and was satisfied my designs showcased that.

The most popular logo concept out of the feedback was a three way battle between: the Triangle grid concept, the cassette tape concept, and the trio triangle concept. (Visuals below)
