The arrival of new macs in the media studies was accompanied by the arrival of the entire adobe suite. With this came After Effects, and as a class we have become determined to learn the software in order to make moving image idents for better marks in the thriller brief.
In my own time I have also paid regular visits to Video Copilot, a website with over 100 After Effects tutorials. After watching the basics and few select specific tutorials on how to use particles, I have made two videos and uploaded them to youtube; the first is my created ident, which is above - the second is an imitation of the smoke monster from the tv show LOST.
The particle tunnel I built in After Effects - the Camera, as a wireframe box in the bottom right, flies through a particle tunnel and past the ident whilst spinning to give the illusion of a moving starfeild.
