Logo in AfterEffects 2.0


Took a logo I had made in Illustrator into After Effects, making the text it's own composition


Applied a rotation wiggle effector on a few letters so they would twitch randomly.

After making individual letters wiggle, I started animating the rest of the logo. In the time line I start 
out with a blank mirror.

Set my shadow layer to start fading in just after 2 seconds


About the same time the shadow faded in completely I revealed the layer with the cracks along with a sound effect of glass breaking to make it appear like the shadow caused the mirror to break.

Skyline Competition



Registered with skyline, received confirmation


Creating assets from personal travel photos.
In Photoshop I erased the background of my source image to make it image tracing easier. Imported the photos into Illustrator and used image trace's 16 color setting to make my assets less photo realistic and a flatter style.



Brought my assets into After Effects and staged a scene using pre-compositions


Finished staging and then created a 3d camera  and parented it to a orbit null to make controlling the camera more easily.

Set keys to zoom in and pan up
