Starting Off

After too much procrastination over the christmas period, today was the day i decided to bite the bullet and attempt this assignment.

I grabbed my energy drink and a sneaky subway and put my mind to work.

At first I was a bit unsure on how I would do this however after much thinking I sort of realised I'm gonna need a sort of photo book to make this work.

From the word go I was pretty much decided on what song I was going to use to cover my motion piece this being 'Heart Shaped Box' by Nivarna. It suits the piece I am doing and well since Nivarna was a big part of the Grunge Era it made a whole lot of sense to do it.

So anyway I headed to Video-copilot to see if I could find any tutorials on this subject, after well not very much looking I soon realised this wasn't going to happen since they didn't have anything on this subject...Boo.

So I got thinking, how would I make this? I headed to Youtube to check on tutorials. However Youtube being Youtube, didn't get what I meant by the looks of it so I just checked some videos out and left it at that.

So i wasn't having a hell of a lot of luck, although there are some pretty eye catching things out there! 

I took to the drawing board, thinking how do i do this? How will I make my video, Television standard?

I then thought, lets open After Effects!

Once After Effects was open I thought a bout using a template to help me create my sequence, I proceeded to look for one, eventually finding one, my initial thought was great! lets just use this so I don't have to do the work. However although that would be the easy way out, and even though it was an open source template, I thought no and just used the template as an idea.

Anyway up to now the project is going quite well, not that I have actually achieved anything yet, although I am getting their and really getting a feel for the project!
