Attempting Motion Graphics in after effects

I have wanted to try and learn motion graphics in after effects for a while now and with the numbers project involving the Romanian school i decided to give it a shot. As this is only a test i just used images i found on the internet with modification i made to them for animation purposes for example i removed the slice from the pizza manually in Photoshop to allow it to be separated. I made 3 numbers all with cartoon images representing them. I am going to experiment more with this as this is my first attempt.

Synoptic project Before the after Getting started

I moved Groups to join with a VFX team to work on their VFX project before the after which is a pre-apocalyptic short film where a meteor is going to strike earth signaling the end of the world. I have met with my new group and we have discussed the project and began putting together the preplanning such as the assert list and production schedule.

Our frist priority is too finish the script and storyboard as we need them to be able to finalize the planning so we can put the rest of preplanning together. This will give us a concreat idea of what we need to do.

Synoptic project pitch

My synoptic project pitch is for a news satire spoof video with i want to include segments commonly seen across the news including Technology, Politics and the weather report. The general theme is that it will start off quite serious and slow get more ridiculous as it progress.

Some of the potential ideas include The weather report, which ends up reporting the current events of a Apocalypse in action a hologram call with an astronaut , a brief political segment. Extras would be to add a sports news part. Meanwhile it would all be linked by the central studio.

I would need a team of a 2 VFX artists and 2 3D Modlers

Hologram


This is a hologram effect i have created using adobe after effects i have used a large number of effects and tools to create it. First thing i setup and keyed out the greenscreen.

The color was made with color curves to get a purple/blue as that the color you see in most sci-fi films for projected images. i reduced the opacity and set the size to match the phone. To finish up the hologram i added a glow to make seem like it had real lighting to it.

I also added the light glowing off the the phone to fill the blank space between the phone and hologram.
