After Effects
The best way of learning about anything is by doing.
— Richard Branson.
I’ve learned a lot being in this class. I have really enjoyed how it has exposed me to many things in the digital media world that I really didn’t put much thought too. However, with that being said, the thing I’ve most enjoyed about this course would definitely be learning about after effects. After effects was a really fun concept to learn about and applying it with the videos we made topped it all for me. At first it was difficult to grasp all the material and really apply it when using the program after effects.When you first download and open the program its overwhelming! I say that because there is so many options and things you can do, the design and the ideas are endless! For my project I decided to do the integration effect effect, and boy that was a great choice. I followed a YouTube video as a guide to help me since I am still fairly new with the program, however at the end of making the video there was so much I learned along the way. Something else that struck me int he process about learning After Effects is, the amount of time goes into it. I made a 7 second video and it took me about two hours. I constantly kept thinking about the Avengers Infinity War movie and thought, WOW! those editors must spend hours upon hours working to make such a masterpiece. Its inspiring really. As viewers we never think about all the work that goes behind the screen.
