Hardware and Software post: introduction in Premiere Pro and setting up Aftereffects

-

 Hardware

The hardware used in this project gave me the tools to create something unique. For the camera shots I used a Leica camera that was storing data into a 16GB SD card. I imported the content I wanted to use through an SD card to C cable adaptor and into my 13 inches Apple Mac Book Pro with 2GHZ and 8core processor.



For steady shots I will be using a tripod so that I would avoid unsteady shots.
For the creation of the character I was using Adobe Photoshop. The process of the character creation is showcased in this post
You can also see the testing phase in the Premiere Pro part of the project in this post

Before entering the After Effects part of the project I edited the project so that it was ready for the testing in the program


I imported 3 new settings that would be included in the final project and I experimented with the scale of the character and his position.

This is the character before the scale decrease


This is the character after I scaled him up to fit the setting


In this last screen shot I moved the character's position on the Y and X axis so it would look like he stands on the side of the koi pond.

Afterwards I needed to change the scale of the character every time I changed the camera angle. That is why I used the razor tool to cut the asset that controlled the character and make an individual clip for the duration of the scene. After that I accessed the effects panel and changed the characters position.


This camera angle is a long-shot of the character were his full body covers the whole screen. This is why the scale of the character needed to be increased from the last scene.
I repeated the process again to create this small scene were I would try to add a shadow effect on Aftereffects.


I saved this project as "Testing" and imported it on After effects

About Me page on my website

  About me page: I wrote a small paragraph discussing who I am, what I am doing now and what are my intentions for the future. Also I included some information about my educational background but also my experience in my field of study. I have been experimenting with the tool bar to edit how my text is being presented to the viewer and did some adaptions to my written text. Furthermore I changed the background to the one with the New York skyline so my Welcome page and the page about me can be related as the pages to introduce and talk about me. Afterwards I added a professional picture of me taken at Bristol UK. I made sure that I chose a picture that makes me look confident in order to appeal more to my viewer that I am a student with passion and certainty. In order for the "About me" page to be relevant to the other pages I changed the background and changed the font of the letters. The background is a video footage that I took last year on a Christmas market at the centre...

  As a session practical exercise we had to brainstorm 20 ideas in 20 minutes It is important that when an artist is generating ideas, he should present a variety of topics  I finished the 20 ideas afterwards and here are the final ideas. Lets go through them together: All the ideas from number one to number seven are Covid-19 related. All this ideas are various things that I think could make a compelling video idea.The other ideas are fun little experiments I want to make. For example ideas like the one with the animated character in real life and the called "Small things that we all do and nobody admits" are some fun concepts for small videos.In this mix there are also some topics that I think can be discussed on a 5 minute long video filled with graphs and examples.This kind of ideas were " The false idea about video games", "Why animals do not have wheels?", "The electricity War" and "The evolution of species".
