Animated Still




This is my final project, a still image animated with After Effects. For the sake of time, I used my portrait of Metanine for the image. The animation is at the very end of the video.
Animation in After Effects was a pain in the butt. The tutorial we were told to use was working with a different version of the software I was working with, so it was very difficult to make progress. Learning about the program first really would have helped. However, once I figured out the software, it was very fun. After mastering basic movement of the figure, I played around with the puppet pin tool. It's not perfect, but I don't want to undergo the two hour rendering process again!

I hope the end result rustled your jimmies.

I learned the basic controls of After Effects and that creating Art often comes with serious frustrations.
