Film Progress

Part 1 of After Effects Tutorial

Due to the delay in our filming, we did not have any footage to edit for one of our media lessons. So instead of wasting this time, we used it efficiently to create a animated logo to put at the opening of our film sequence. We decided that we wanted to make it sophisticated, so we watched a tutorial on YouTube of how to create a 'Laser Etched logo'.

Which involved creating a number of different compositions and solids and applying different effects and presets to them to create our desired effect. It was a challenging tutorial to follow, as it was very fast paced due to it being aimed at an advanced audience. We had to start again several times as even small mistakes could drastically set our progress back. I am really pleased with the way the animated logo turned out as despite the difficulty, we managed to create it to a good standard. We had to make some minor differences to the tutorial in order to make it fit our purpose for example the text in the logo, but we managed to do so well and overall using After Effects was a positive experience.
