Creative Work

While here at Ohio University, I learned how to use some of the tools that actual media producers use.  So, I took MDIA 1300 (Digital Media Production Basics) where I basically learned how to utilize Adobe After Effects.



The video above is a project in our MDIA 1300 class where we were required to animate a word to show the meaning of the word. I chose the word Kinetic, mimicking a Newton's Cradle.

This project pleased me in its final form because everything in the project that I envisioned came out to be the final result exactly as I had pictured it, using basic animation techniques such as Squash and Stretch.  My video clip was composed in Adobe After Effects CS6.  I want to acknowledge my teacher, Tyler Ayres, our animation teacher, on helping me complete my project.  His insight allowed me to make crucial decisions in piecing my final project together.  I know this is not the greatest animation in the world, and I am always looking for critique.  However, I know that I am pleased with how it turned out.
