Week 11 - There is No Try

(download)
We spent this week in Adobe After Effects.   We had a video of an old student of Mr. Smith's waving a stick around, so naturally we turned him into a Jedi.  We used two solids, a white and a red, and feathered them out to make it look more genuine.

Week 9 - Tony is a Blizzard Wizard

(download)
We've been working on a piece of blended media this week.  We used a plane with the noise modifier for the ground, a fog effect to make the...  fog like...  effect...  Clever, right?

We might have a little guy in this scene next week, but I don't know how much time the process takes, so no promises.

Week 8 - Saving the Best for Last

This is not the last.  In a week or two, you'll get to see the big project, the compilation of our smaller animations this year.  This week's post, however, was a simlpe tube with a Bend modifier thrown in there and a bit of fire.  It took us about half an hour to make the fire look perfect, to adjust the flame size and intensity, but the rest of it was thrown together in about thirty seconds.
