Animating solids- transform allows you to postion, scale, rotate, change opacity

My first attempt using simple squares on After Effects

After affects first try from Sophie Herring on Vimeo.

Three words- visuals

After looking at some imagery on  MY DESIGN CONTEXT I drew down some of my own initial ideas and visuals I associated with the words disperse, flip and extend.

Seminar with Lorraine

In the session with Lorraine we were talking about frames and amount of frames etc and storyboarding and rendering, she gave us some key terminology and information to help us.

Since our current brief is letterforms only, she gave us an excersise with a flipbook to use one letter and create movement throughout with this one letter. I chose 'S' and attempted to make the letter shatter, grow and move.

Digital media- Silent movie

These are the three words I chose from the randomiser, disperse is from the group where is it spacial, lots of movement. Flip is from the group where it canchange without moving and extend from the group- change by moving.
I took a quick look at definitions, links and the thesauraus for a broader range of knowledge on each word to hopefully extend my thinking.
