This assignment has expanded my capabilities of using after effects by at least 10 million. We were told to use the direction of our blog and make a short motion movie from still photographs and scanned images. I decided to mostly use scanned images. I ended up making a lot of happy mistakes while fooling around with the program, trying to figure out how to work it. I am dealing with the concept of death and being somewhat worried about when i am going to go, but learning how to deal with it.
I did have quite a lot of difficulties with placing the keyframes. It took me a minute to realize the whole (choosing the space in time that you want the movement to fit in.) Once I figured that out I was pretty much good. It did take quite a while to experiment with all of the different effects, but once I figured out what a lot of them did, it was very succuessful.

I like that you put a ripple effect on the image to simulate the water wave... the first sentence went away from the screen quite fast.
Can you explain how this image is related to the topic death?
The still motion using one image is excellant! I get the sense of a city in turmoil and destruction. I also love your color palette black/white!
The bullet shooting out of the gun is pretty cool. Instead of having the background sprial away I think a quick fade might have been cleaner. I think its interesting how youre kind of doing some wordplay with how the text is cropped on the screen.
- While the text exists on the image, it is unreadable. Consider adding an outline over text which hovers over intensely colored backdrops.
- On image does not equate to a montage.
- Never a wise choice to use a spinning transition, as it breaks the illusion and reveals hard edges. You want to make the user think it is a boundless, endless space and hard edges ruin that.
Edit: *One Image
I actually didnt like the bullet that much, but the effect on the drawing is fantastic. The text seemed like a lazy way out honestly.
i would of liked to of seen panning with the ripple from left to right. I like how the ripple is collaborated with the bullet
