Tasks

Exercise 1 - Composition

We need to make a collage into a motion graphics through adobe after effects.
Needs to be 30 seconds, and can be creative so can go out of the screen and just animate and stuff. Also, use only the materials that are in the file that is given.

So I started by compiling some of the objects into photshop to see how it would look like.

I played around by placing and duplicating and hiding the objects and it got to a point where it felt kind of filling? So I did that 3 times to get 3 different outcomes.

Figure 1.1: Composition #1

Figure 1.2: Composition #2

Figure 1.3: Composition #3

After getting feedback that these look okay from Mr Fauzi, I started with the animation. 

Exercise 2 - Collage Animation

I thought that the second composition looked the most filling and the most animation-able, so I imported the files into after effects. 

I made the man in the tv fly on the paper plane in the sky, then in came the shark to fight him. Its very strange to look at but since its a collage nothing really needs to make sense.

But in the end, its just the shark and the man fighting in the sky, then there is camera filming them. Then the typewriter is just flying across them for some reason.

Finally came out the outcome uploaded on youtube.
