PROJECT #2: "Geometric Shapes" (Part 1 & 2)

Part 1 Due: Sep 15, 2011 (Week 3)

Part 2 Due: Sep 22, 2011 (Week 2)

Description:

Create a 20 second abstract animation of geometric shapes to the soundtrack of your choice. Feel free to use any palette of colors and textures. Your can work with computer generated graphics or digitized images of physical objects—whatever inspires you.

Part 1: Thumbnails

Submit: 

Trimmed soundtrack and a scan of thumbnail sketches.

Details:

Import your soundtrack into AE, put it inside a composition and trim the layer and Composition settings to the desired animation time. Make sure to add an extra second to the beginning and end of the audio track for "safety". Export the re-sized soundtrack with the following settings:

Output module > Format = AIFF

* Video output is automatically turned off and your file exports as audio only.

Use the new clip as reference for the thumbnail sketches (include timing details in your sketches)

Part 2: Animation

Animate the thumbnails from last week using the trimmed soundtrack.
