OUGD502 - After Effects Inductions

During the production of OUGD504 studio brief 2, workshops on After Effects developed my skills in both animation and user interface design. As someone new to the software, I developed my skill in creating shapes and making them move and learned a simple skills set including using frames, anchors and paths. This skill was used during the development of the user experience in studio brief 2  to create features within the application. These workshops allowed me to develop my user interface into a more professional finish as well as create a presentation of the application navigation.

As a new user to the software I found it simple to independently pick up the software and the workshops introduced techniques that helped advance my own independent development. The skills I learned in these workshops and using this software in studio brief 2 have advanced my practice and will advance my practice to come. I am interested in stop motion animation and this practice has further interested me in this style of work.
