You have been hired as video animator by ILM. They want you to create an animated video advertisement for a beverage company. You are to follow the directions given by the project manager for the target audience to complete the project. Once complete then you should review the checklist for grading criteria before turning in your work. Complete and submit the online rubric for this project once it has been completed.
Click on the link and follow the tutorial to create the Dancing Can After Effects project. You can alter the project any way you like, but must have a can that dances, an animated background, and animated text. The length of the animation should be 30 seconds long, but can be longer to fit your song if you like. You choose the song (must be school appropriate) and you choose the can (must be school appropriate). You will have to edit your song in Audition and make as a MP3 to import into AE. Make your audio fade up/down in Audition before you export as an MP3. You must include a catch phrase or original slogan as well that must be animated. You can use the tutorial to animate the text or use any of the pre-made text effects in AE. Make a new project in AE, make a new composition with the NTSC DV setting (720x480) and change the duration to the length of your song. Then follow the steps in the tutorials. Save the file as lastname+firstname+period#+dancingcan and turn into Scales. |
