This is my first video for Digital Design 220, but nothing too new to me. It took a little bit of a refresher to get a handle on it in places, but it wasn't too tough.
For this project, I wanted to give the feeling of a perfectly nice evening (if mysterious), immortalized in a photograph that just gets more tarnished with time. The Victorian floral brushes give a nice flare, before cracks and stains start appearing.
To make this, I had to edit the original image in photoshop, with brushes on different layers. Then I moved it all to Flash and made masks so that the images would sort of "animate into existence", as it were. After that, popped it into After Effects to get a nice soft colour change, then into Premier Pro for some music. Exporting it was a little shifty, but it looks like it came out alright in the end.
I think I didn't do too bad for a refresher course. Of course, "not too bad" isn't nearly up to my preference. If given the chance, I tend to go all-out just to show that I can. I expect to start upping the ante as the quarter progresses, but we'll see what time allows!
