    For this animation piece, I have decided to focus on an area of After Effects I’m new to and that is masking techniques. Upon watching the content on how to achieve this, I have narrowed the specific subject area to text masking, which is where you can see the footage or animated scene within the…

    The video How it was made I wanted to imagine the composition and get the ideas down from my head onto paper, so I draw up a rough storyboard of the logo animation piece. Here is the composition plan. The idea for this logo piece is to demonstrate my abilities to construct a 15 short…

    Once all of the groups were formed and finalised, each member had to adopt roles dependent on the chosen project. Since our project was expanding on a business idea previously thought of in the last semester, our roles had to be something we could all manage without risking burnout.

    A plan was to move the project forward with the finalised team members.. I have created a few mindmaps of potential projects.

However, the most important thing I learnt was being patient while my team members were busy with their own designated workload to bring the project to life. There…
