Getting there!!

After coming up with an idea of a photo book sort of sequence for After Effects, I figured I need to do some research on how to create one!

Then I saw that a photo throw effect looked a lot better and is really simple to create!

So i got thinking, what looks good? I first was going to have white border around the picture, sort of like a Polaroid photo.

Example:

This is the design I have chosen for my photographs.

However once put into the movie, I didn't like it so I got rid of the white solid behind the photo, and just had the text showing on the background along with image. After I had resolved this issue I needed to start thinking about the background. What will it look like? How would it suit? Anyway i thought a washed out sort of tea stained look would suitable for the background image and it worked out pretty well, although I then figured I would need the background to loop continuously which required me to make a loop of the background using after effects.

Looping wasn't too difficult, I got my original placed it within After effects, moved it off the composition and put a new one in, I did this until I reached 40 seconds, the reason for the 40 seconds is because my whole sequence is 33 seconds, meaning If I wanted to make it longer then I could. After this I saved it, put it within premier and rendered it through premier.

Example:

It's very blurred, but this is my background.

Anyway its all working out quite well and coming together quite nicely at the moment, I have thought about the motion and how I could make it work, looking at other videos on Youtube of photo-throwing I'm pretty sure I can do it.
