Reflection Journal #5

1) What was the idea for your music video? My idea for the video was to make it funny so it doesnt choke people with holiday spirit but instead try to make them laugh a bit.
2) What type of effects did you use? I used opacity, rotation, size, and color effects.
3) What was the most difficult thing about using After Effects? It was hard to learn all the controls and shortcuts again
4) What was the biggest benefit you found from using After Effects? i finally used music and its much easier to make the pictures do stuff.
5) Was this easier than using Photoshop? Why or Why not? The start was hard but once you get the hang of it its easy.

Look at it for a while....then close your eyes and you should see a neon out line of it.

An optical illusion is an image that seems something but it is actually something else.It can also make it seem 3d or give you a diffrent color.Its not what it seems.

collage project report

masks better help the Silhouette because it shows the picture inside of the outline. it also makes it easier to put the photo inside of the cutout. one image i found was of a close up mick from the clash playing his guitar. another photo was of the clash live in concert. one was of the famous "london calling" album. another one was of the hook em which represents him in a good way. the last one was of a spanish civil war bomber plane which represents the famous clash song"spanish bombs". The last one in which i put all of my photos was a picture of mick the lead guitarist of "The Clash". First i had to select the cutout, once i did that i had to create a work path. then i wrote something, copied it, and finally i pasted it on the outline of the cutout. then changed the spacing and text to make it more visible and awesome. i felt good about my final product because it looks really sophisticated and business looking. it looks like it could be on a c.d. cover or move poster i think it will really be useful and is just plain fun to do.
