Week 3 - Temporal & Spatial Montage

Temporal and Spatial Montage.

This weeks task was to construct a Temporal and Spatial Montage from images that was supplied to students. The images supplied were taken from different areas and places.

This week's task required masking in After Effect to mask out the unwanted areas of an image.

than the 5 images were than placed into 1 background an environment, scenery background and combined together to create a small video animation, a small segment of people jumping up and down doing crazy things from behind this wall.

Key Concepts
- Masking - using the Bezier Handles, multiple masks by subtracting and mask feather to make the masks appear more realistic and blend better when placed into the environment background.

Imagery.

Personally i found that if this was a personal project i would have chosen different images of people jumping poses. As i found it hard to animate something 99% realistic especially with 2 of the images given, as the angle of the pose made it hard to rotate and animate so it actually looks like a flowing movement. It made my animation work look more 2D like rather than 3D human like.

Personal Beliefs

I found that this week's task suits people who want to do a small 30sec or 1 minute advertisements for their label or brand, it allows those who have no skills in after effect to create something within an hour and produce a small animation video to present for their pitch or presetation speech.
