re-generation film festival

Over 1,700 students from about 40 schools around Australia and internationally registered for the recent re-generation international students film competition.

The winning short film for the primary school section was from Spensley Street Primary in Melbourne, titled the Power of 5. Let’s have a look at this wonderful short film.

Skill Transfer: Illustrator to After Effects

A lot of people can be put off in After Effects, but you mostly need to think about these things in relation to elements once you create your layers in Illustrator. These are the main 5 factors that create dynamic movement in After Effects.

  1. Position
  2. Opacity
  3. Anchor Point
  4. Scale
  5. Opacity

Kev took an Illustrator file and imported it, turning the fills and strokes from Illustrator into shapes which can be animated.

Quick Tip: 'R' is a quick key to add rotations

Kev demonstrated making the head of his design move by setting a rotation point (the chin) and creating key frames from that.

Kev also demonstrated how to make the movement smoother by manipulating the keyframes and reviewing the movement of the shapes.
