Hilarity ensues!

For those who aren’t familiar with what Muse actually look like, they all traded places during their “live” performance and no one on the show noticed the difference

I was asked to do a 30 second animation for some PR students and I whipped this up fairly quickly. It was my first time doing anything in After Effects and the audio and low resolution images were what was given to me.

I learned some pretty cool things about After Effects from doing this though and hopefully I can just keep improving on them.

Just hilarious. Brilliant stuff

I was at a lecture from Mark Swaine the Creative Director of Squire today which proved to be an excellent and informative class.

One thing I came away with though was a feeling that I should really delve into AfterEffects a lot more. I’ve messed around with it but Mark says that he loves using Flash and AfterEffects and, although it might sound a bit stupid, that was a combination I can’t say I’ve ever thought of using before.

He showed us how they can be combined to make some truly dazzling websites and videos. Granted, these companies have big budgets and years of experience under their belts but this stuff is just awesome.
