Sunday - 01/10/2010





  1. See details of how to do the simpler one layer rolling, falling orange application. Animating Position and Rotation, along with adding Directional Blur effect.
  2. The only layer in the simpler COMP is made up of the OrangeSlicedSmall.psd footage. You can right mouse button (RMB) click on the link and then download the footage file to your PC or Mac. Your other option is to open it up in Photoshop.
  3. The above COMP includes more advanced material beyond the Orange animation (Rotation, Position, and Blur).

    Lesson 5 - Type and Music animating text techniques occur during the last two seconds.

    Lesson 6 - Parenting and Nesting - grouping layers to make them easier to coordinate.

    Ignore Lesson 5 and Lesson 6 until February!
