After Effects Workshops

In order to assist with learning the tools, techniques and processes within After Effects I was involved in an Adobe After Effects workshop. This workshop helped me understand more about key framing and paths within After Effects, I found this useful as I do now understand how to alter the path of a key-framed shape/object. This is something I was in particular looking for within my animation as I found that simply key framing the position made the movement look very robotic, which could be useful in some instances, however for me personally, I am trying to create fluid transitions and so being able to alter the path of an object by curving the separate anchor points of a key-framed path meant being able to make more fluid motions when rotating text and by having the main focus of my animation being Kinetic typography, learning the correct way to do smooth transitions was extremely vital. As well as this i learned about Easy Ease, used to help make animations more interesting by speeding by certain parts and slowing down others, helping to achieve a feeling of motion within a normally quite static animation. I will be using this for my entire animation as I feel applying Easy Ease to my key-frames will only benefit my animation.
