After Effects - Lesson 5

In this lesson we creates custom shapes, customised a shape’s fill and stroke. Used path operations to transform shapes, animated shapes. Next we repeated shapes and explored design options with the Brainstorm feature. Lastly we added a Cartoon effect to a video layer for a distinctive look. 

After Effects - Lesson 4

In this lesson, we placed Deform pins using the Puppet Pin tool and defined areas of overlap using the Puppet Overlap tool. Stiffened part of an image using the Puppet Starch tool. Animated the position of Deform pins and smoothed motion in an animation. Recorded animation using the Puppet Sketch tool. 

After Effects - Lesson 3

In this lesson, we created and animated text layers, stylised text using the Character and Paragraph panels and applied and customize text animation presets. 
Previewed animation presets in Adobe Bridge, animated text using keyframes, animated layers using parenting. 
Edited and animate imported Adobe Photoshop text. Used a text animator group to animate selected characters on a layer. Applied a text animation to a graphic object. 

After Effects - Lesson 2

In this lesson, we imported footage items then worked with the layers of an imported Adobe Illustrator file. Applied drop-shadow and emboss effects, applied a text animation preset.
Next we adjusted the time range of a text animation preset and precomposed the layers. Applied a dissolve transition effect, adjusted the transparency of a layer and rendered an animation for broadcast use. 

Doctor Who Reboot Stuffs

Doctor Who reboot (1963 – 2005)

Doctor Who originally broadcast on 23rd november 1963 and was cancelled in 1989 because it was thought to be a joke at the time by the BBC controller, Michael Grade. There was a TV movie in 1996 continuing where the show left off however it was intended for American audiences, as the producers wanted the show to go overseas; Although it was a success in the UK, the film did not do well with the intended audience and no series was commissioned. There was a full reboot in 2005 which had more success than the movie due to it being targeted at the british more (The 1st episode was set in London.)  

Although both versions of the show (1963, 2005) were made in the UK, the audiences were very different, aside from being roughly the same age group.

The two generations reacted differently to the show because of their upbringing. Children of the 60s were far, far less protected from the extremes of society than children of the 2000s, this was reflected within the two versions of the show; The Doctor Who of today has much more comedic elements to it as opposed to the Doctor Who of the 60's which attempted to scare and educate children rather than entertain. In 2003, when Doctor Who was re-commissioned by Russell .T. Davies, movies such as 'Matrix reloaded' and 'Terminator 3' and other sic-fi elements were popular. The news of the re-launch received good feedback as the show itself and sic-fi in general was extremely popular. The basis for the reboot were a mix between financial and artistic, although more of the latter; Russell was a fan of the original series and knew the children of the next generation would love it.

The 1963 version of the show also had a very low budget with as little as £2000 per half hour so the production was very sloppy; The sets wobbled, Doors wouldn't close properly and sometimes actors missed their cues and were not allowed a re-take. The TARDIS’s iconic image is only around due to budget restrictions, it was originally meant to change it's appearance every episode but the budget was already over-spent. The 2005 series however had a much bigger budget of £10 million due to the BBC having high hopes of getting a whole new generation of children interested in it.

The social and political views at the time of each version were also very different; in a 1963 episode 'The Sunmakers' was a parody of the tax system at the time.
In 2005, The first Slitheen two-parter (Aliens of London/World War 3) was a reflection of the WMD situation in Iraq.

After Effects Stuff | Lesson 1

 

In this lesson it was necessary to use the Project, Composition and Timeline panels, we had to create a project and import some footage consisting of dancing women; The first step was to create compositions and arrange the layers. Next we applied basic keyframes and effects; customised the workspace and adjusted the preferences related to the user interface find additional resources. 

Tomb Raider Reboot (worked with Brandon)

We were tasked with rebooting the 'Tomb Raider' franchise. It will be filmed in multiple countries; England, Russia Brazil and Egypt. Lara Croft will be played by Camilla Luddington because she is the voice of the character in the game, so she will be more recognisable.

Lara croft will be played by Camilla Luddington this is because she is the voice of Lara in the game so fans can relate to her to the game more with don't work with the original films.

Mads Mikkelsen will play the role off Sergei Mikhailov  as he has the Russian boss look which is shown when he plays Hannibal in the TV show Hannibal . Admiral Yarofev will be played by someone not that well-known as there is very few people we feel could play his character.
