Date: Sun, 26 Jul 2009 23:16:25 -0500 (CDT) From: Mark Jacobson To: 810-088-12-summer@uni.edu Subject: Ideas for your FINAL project Hello VE, A, and MG students, Here is a link to an example that used all 3 applications: 1. Flash Motion Tweens - the bouncing ball we did several times back in June. 2. Flash Shape Tweening a circle to a square and back to a circle, where Shape Hints were required. Begun earlier, to be covered tomorrow in class (Shape hints techniques). 3. Flash symbols with built in Motion Tween animation that are NOT animated by using KeyFrames on the main timeline. 4. After Effects Text animation using Animation Presets. I used the Twirl In effect. Recall the VERTIGO lesson when we got to the After Effects part of it and made twirling text for the Flash layer import. 5. Another Text animation we have done with AE to show or hide one letter at a time. 6. Animating shapes to change size and to rotate and to move using Adobe After Effects. Could have done this using Flash. 7. Snowfall and snowing effect in AE. Recall the day we did SNOW and rain effects. 8. Maya Squash and Stretch (to be covered on Monday, 07/27), which you have already watched an Aussie Steven Murdoch video about as a "reading" assignment. http://www.cs.uni.edu/~jacobson/ae/wk8/July26thVEAMG.html Ideas for your sample project does NOT mean you will have that many ideas or as advanced techniques with Flash or Maya as the sample project illustrates. As stated earlier, your project will not necessarily involve using all THREE software applications either.
