Depth of field, Radial Blur and Luma Key in After Effects

Quite interesting session today, I particularly enjoyed seeing how the culmination of these effects adds to the immersion in a scene.

Having used Premiere before, it was nice to get back into the seat and see the changes in CS6, I also used After Effects to generate a bit of motion into proceedings.

I think I'm going to need to work on my drawing a bit more, I'm quite happy with some of the frames, but in others I think I've been a bit too heavy handed with the lines. These are good practice for what is to come though! :)

After Effects logo animation

It's dawning on me that perhaps having an animated intro, complete with a logo and other such things would be advantageous to establishing a brand.
