Animations

Here are animations i have created using the skills i have learned.

Camera in AE

3D plane

FMP SPECIALISM

 

Im not sure why but Premiere has been exporting my 1024x576 as 720x576 and thats not the resolution i would like... so i will try to export with After effect. 

 I have succeeded the export with After effects.

creating a 2 and a 1/2 D house using 3D layering in AE

Create separate pieces in Photoshop

house front, house side, roof, roof center piece. Save a PNG or photoshop document to reserve transparency.

import photoshop documents with images into AE

put into composition

turn on 3D layer button (the cube)

put the separate images together to construct a 3D house

once house is constructed  go to layer- new- camera. You can then navigate and rotate around in the camera view to see the 3d house properly. IMPORTANT NOTE: If the camera is not moving around the object itself and doing something weird with the perspective, go to Layer - transform - Auto orient and this need to be switched OFF to work properly.

parent the layers to the main image

Working in Photoshop

Photoshop

The photoshop interface-

Freeing up a layer (unlocking) - Double click ont he layer and click ok.

Removing white background- Use wand tool and select white background, then delete

Removeing the white background so that other programs can read it.

To hide the marching ants (ctrl + h)

magic wand tool click on white background - select inverse

Add layer mask-

Go to channels- hide all other layers (rgb,red,green,blue) the view will show the white as the visible and the balck as the transparent (grey tones are semi transparent). This helps you to see any unwanted dots on the background which has been missed.

 You can clean up the bits not wanted with a black pen, any black pen will turn transparent and the white pen will bring back the white background.

 Cleaning up rough drawings

I decided that instead of print screening and using up a lot of time i would use a program called Camstudio and record what i am doing on my screen.
So this is the process i will go through to clean up and remove white background from a rough drawing.

 

Batch Scan  (scanning in multiple images with a scanner and importing them into Photoshop)

Open Photoshop - file - Automate - Batch - choose set - choose the action

Trying a non linear approach (personal experimentation)
