Opt.ill Logo Animation

Decided to test the waters of video myself.

This is an old-ish animation made for my 3rd semester of Imaging Studio courses. I actually popped it up on Youtube a long while ago, but it's really not worth much of anything. I've been meaning to edit it, honestly... there's a little something off about the timing of the text (my teacher suggested I just leave it out altogether, the logo's strong enough) and I'm very much capable of creating my own 10-second musical score now. *cough*

Though I could also just leave that open too, and just make room for the opening of whatever video project I'm releasing... hm.

Bah! Whatever the case:

Music used is Thunder Plains from Final Fantasy X: Piano Collections
100 hours in Adobe After Effects CS4 and Illustrator CS4
Originally hand drawn; no 3d editing program used for rendering.

You're missing one thing: every tween goes straight from point A to point B at a constant pace, stops absolutely and goes into another tween. It's like a robot dance; it's unnatural. Move your arm about like you're waving a wand or something and watch it: it accelerates, decelerates, and the end of every movement blends into the beginning of the next. There are no instant starts or stops.

The most pronounced examples of what I'm talking about are the last two movements of the board in the last half of the video: the board moves at a uniform pace, then an instantaneous change of direction and pace occurs. It then moves again at a uniform pace backwards, and stops instantly.

Right-click on a tween marker in After Effects and you'll see a Velocity option which you can use to control that behaviour. Look into that. ;)

Other than that, nice work. Looks great!


Edit: I am not saying uniform paces and instantaneous transitions are automatically bad. They have their place, it is just not in movement for the most part.

Haha, thank you.

I hear where you're coming from; my class was filled with a lot of those who never bothered with it at all and it started to peeve me a bit too. To be honest I only used it with the first shot. After that I tried to pace the video quickly with the upbeat music and completely lost concern for it. If and when I open this comp again, I'll take it into consideration and get rid of the last slide altogether.

I think I want the text to write onto the paper as well. |3
