ACE : Mock Interview.

We had a warm welcome in Fielder Center. The morning briefing started while we are having coffee. They took us through the schedule of the day and helped us so we could get to a place on time. I had a couple of questions about one-on-one interviews, so I asked, and they resolved it. The staff were good at helping and creating a professional environment without it being so scary that we felt confident and performed best.      Unlike my classmates, I had a group exercise first. In the 9:30 to 10:30 slot. After reaching there a couple more people came but it was less than expected. Our assessor took us through the task and gave us a countdown as I looked at my phone to keep track of time. We started reading the task for 5 mins and then all three of us waited for someone to break the ice. I dove to the deeper end and started the discussion with my idea and my group members agreed. Thereafter it went smoothly because everyone was coming up with ideas and discussing t...

Personality Test and Initial idea

Image
 We started the class by taking two types of personality tests which was helpful to find suitable roles in our team to get the best outcome. In  personality typology , the  Myers–Briggs Type Indicator  ( MBTI ) is an  introspective   self-report  questionnaire indicating differing  psychological  preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions. The test attempts to assign a value to each of four categories: introversion or extraversion, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling, and judging or perceiving. One letter from each category is taken to produce a four-letter test result, such as "INTJ" or "ESFP". [1] [2] [3] Turns out I was ENFP( Campaigner ) in that test Which means  Extraversion (E), Intuition (N), Feeling (F), and Perception (P). I was very happy with the result and I am the only extrovert in that group.  The other test was Belbin. Which is for team roles.  Belbin's theory of team roles identified t...

Animate Final Project

Image
 This project was easy and straight forward but after a computer crash, I had very little time to complete this project. I started with Brainstorming ideas. After I have decided everything and all scenes with Title names. and made some assets to do this stuff and found some to add to my project. At first, I created a landing page with a title animation and BBC logo with the Modern building Asset. Then I created a futuristic VR glasses type thing. And added various buttons to it. Like  Car  Drone  Robot  Food  VR  Info  Those buttons would navigate to their pages where you can get a glance at the future of those things. CAR In future, due to all pollution, we would use hybrid or electric cars more. I added this like with a car animation. Which in my view was really good. DRONE  I made two drone assets as read in my research that they would start delivering stuff in future. I Animated those two drones and also placed them on that page. ROBOT...

After Effects 3D Tracking Assignment.

Image
 For This assignment, we were supposed to track footage in 3D space Stick a 2D media piece to it and make it look believable. This was a very complex yet fun project.  We had to shoot our own footage but unfortunately, I was not able to do so However we were also allowed to use Stock footage of some sort to do our work. So I went ahead and found some practice files from a youtube tutorial. The tutorial was very good after a glance at that I started working on my own project. After importing the video and other files of city Destruction. The first thing was to 3D track the whole footage and wait for markers to show up. when it happened I first duplicated the layer and named it 3D tracker. Thereafter I created a solid camera with help of those markers and Stick a Destruction picture.  After I placed this in that building the first thing I noticed was color difference so I had to color match both of the things using curves effect. Thereafter I  tried the new technique i...

After Effects Motion Graphics Assignment

Image
Following that, the project's guidelines were presented. When I was looking for a phone to buy, it came to me when I was thinking about ideas. I went to a few websites and found the iPhone 13 images. I began working on them. In Photoshop, I had to tidy up the background and cut off photographs. That was not an issue because After Effects enables PSD export. I wanted to design a low-budget iPhone advertising for the overall idea. This video depicts the iPhone's introduction and various characteristics. To begin, I viewed several recordings of these commercials. Then the ideas started to flow, and the first thing I did was pick a colour palette, which is at the heart of every motion graphics project. Choosing a colour palette and basing your work on it. Because the phone was green, I chose to go with green. Then I'll go with this.  Then I began to create several compositions using various text and picture animations. I made use of pre-existing 3D text effects. I applied a vig...

After Effects : session 4

Image
 In today's session, we learned about the 3D cameras, space, 3D layers Animation and 3D perspective. We started by pre-made project with multiple views and added our 3D animation to layers by enabling the 3D option in layers. After that bit we learned about the 3D cameras (one node) We went through their camera settings and other options We animated that camera with respect to our layers animation.  After this was completed we were given a task to create our own 3D scene with 3D layers and animation with a 2 node camera and depth of field. The two-node camera has a point of interest so was can animate the camera with respect to that point which gives a much more smooth outcome. This camera was very close to the real one because it had all the options like depth of field, aperture and focus distance which focuses on a particular layer that we want. So we created our whole scene like this by animating the camera and all other layers in 3D space and we kept focus on basket carryi...

After Effects : Session 3

Image
 In today's session we were going to learn about ~ Animating objects along a path  particles wiggle expressions Puppet tool Roto brush  So we started with provided assets for our project . It was a illustrator file with different objects in different layers so can animate it.  We started by importing Ai file to composition as composition and with layer size. Then immediately started animating cars along the road and animated them colliding using position and rotation. To make animation smooth we used graph editor and easy ease In .  There after it was time to add particles to make collision look more dramatic. We added a solid layer to the comp and added a particles system preset to it. Then we had to tweak settings a bit to get desired results. We had to trim the layer so particles only comes up in required time.  To add a little more drama to the accident we added a wiggle expression which is shake or jerk in camera. We discussed about what does the expre...
