Subject: Review of Friday class, preview of week #5 assignment, ...

Hi 088 students (Visual Effects, Animation, and Motion Graphics),

     The following URL is a video tutorial for achieving four goals:

        1.  It is a review of yesterday's soup or sundae eve eve class
            where we overlapped layers.  I use Snorg Tee shirt designs
            here instead of flowers.

        2.  It reviews two different types of effects.  Effects for
            Perspective, such as Bevel and effects with Text presets.

        3.  It will be the basis for the next After Effects assignment,
            where you choose your own footage.  The Snorg Tees t-shirt
            site would be a fine choice, as it has lots of interesting
            t-shirts, very funny too.  And all the JPG or GIF files
            are the same size.

        4.  It teaches you how to RENDER using the RENDER QUEUE to
            convert the After Effect Composition (AE COMP) into FLV,
            which is a TLA for Flash Video.  TLA is a three letter
            acronym for Three Letter Acronym.

        I will add more details to that SnorgTees3rd.html web site soon.

        -------------------------------------------------------------
        The 2nd tutorial video will continue where this one left off.
        -------------------------------------------------------------

        It will cover the first 3 items of the following:

            1.  How to use the FLVPlayback component and Flash to create
                and PUBLISH a Flash application that hosts the FLV Flash
                video file.

                Input needed: any Flash video file, i.e. your .flv file
                              that was produced by rendering your comp.

                Output of this process:  an .html file and a .swf file.

            2.  How to use ssh secure shell to upload the .SWF, .HTML,
                and .FLV files to your sunny.uni.edu web site.
                Where to get the FREE ssh secure shell from the
                www.uni.edu web site to download and install on your
                Windows laptop or desktop.

            3.  How to use Adobe Dreamweaver to upload the .SWF,
                the .HTML and the .FLV files to your sunny.uni.edu
                account.

            4.  There will be a link to a page for how to use Macintosh
                FREE software to upload using CyberDuck too.
                I have to go visit KAB 250 sometime soon and make sure
                the documentation I made for Cyberduck two years ago
                is updated, if need be, to look exactly like it looks
                today when you use it.

     Probably more updates to send out before tomorrow.  Hope you are
                               having a fine soup or sundae eve today.

     Mark
