D - Disperse practice

D from Robyn Russell on Vimeo.



Following our latest workshop in After Effects, i decided to try and apply what i have learnt to edit the words to fit what i am doing. I spoke to Mike about how i could possibly break up a word and he said to apply the selection tool to the letter and break it up on photoshop. So i decided to do this and then animate it in After effects using what we had learned. I only animated a small part of the letter as a trail to see how effective it would actually be. The squares when they break up are not all the same size which i think i would defiantly need to change, so that they were continuos. Another thing is when they all disperse i was trying to get them to go off the page, but instead they clumped at the side so i think that the next stage would be to change the opacity on the squares so that not only do they disperse as i designed them to but they would actually fade out of the sequence instead of remaining on the page.
