Particles Text Effect

What is particles text effect?  It's simple, moving particples and then when they disappear you see the words.  This video is the easiest to learn the particles but you need to play with each section of it.  So lets go...

This one is slightly different with the particles.  It's the triangles but it's more than that.  Take a look and you are expected to complete this one as well.

After that you should be fine to understand how to do this next one.  A participles area with a logo.  You choose the logo and show your teacher.

Your final assignment:

You need to have a building that is brick, and a tornado in the background.  When the tornado goes past the building the bricks will go flying (red bricks or rather red particles that look like bricks.  They go flying and the building slowly but surely disappears.

One Camera video completed.

I have completed this video that is a great explanation of how to work a camera.  I will add my final product to this video.

and I have completed this one as well.



this one is better than the other, it has examples to do.

Task List

Write up your tasks, mark what you need to start, what you are in the process of, and what is completed.  In this blog write up what it's like working with a partner or group (if you are working with one).  If you are alone, write up the positives and negatives of working alone.

Making a video like Star Trek - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swpuB-LmwZM using aftereffects.

Task list	Where you’re at	What you need
After effects – camera work	Done one video (http://bit.ly/2FZ7LiU)  and need to do another to control my Z access	Do these videos on my channel - http://bit.ly/aftereffectschannel Has 5 videos.  2 done 3 to go.
	Need to learn more control
Making 3D objects	Already did two.	Looking at doing side views of these things now, so I can do different angels.
Make some stars and nebulous		Photoshop
Need to make a solar system that I fly through or a planet that I fly through		Photoshop
Do more work on lighting	Done two videos, one behind words, one directional.  Need to put one in a star system.	After effects
Need to make a production section	Using Pixilation to have one.	After Effects
Need to learn audition or work with Annie.	Need sound track.	Working with Annie.

Working alone is harder than working with a partner because I am the only one to do all these tasks.  However, working with a partner would be harder because then I have to rely on someone that may not help me but rather take too much time away from me.  At least I can count on myself for getting the work done even if it means more work.

Change of plans

After receiving complaints from people in my complex in regards to playing my tin flute, I have to give up this endeavor.  Plus the fact that my cat has suffered for this learning.

So I am changing my plans and starting to expand my knowledge of After Effects and learning this more.

My goal = to complete all the videos on my YouTube Channel (rather to make a channel).  That's the goal.  And to show a completed project of this:


This will be my final project.

The Proposal

What is my project:

Learning the tin flute

What is my driving question that I am learning?

Am I able to learn the tin flute and play it with some ease.

Who will work with me on this project?

On my own and maybe with the help of my cat who hates when I play the tin flute.

Who is the audience for this project?

I want to video tape myself and show my mother that I can play the tin flute.  She is Irish.  I also want to play for Ms. Cameron who learned to play an instrument two years ago.  She is my inspiration.

I also want to play for friends and family at family gatherings.

Why is this project worthwhile? 

It's simpler to carry around a tin flute than a piano.  It's also something that I can continue to grow with as I get older.  

What do you expect to learn?

• To learn the finger movements for each note.
• to be fluid in my playing so it's not choppy.
• To learn all the chords again.
• To read music as I go and play any song I want.
• Later on to do a comparison from the one flute to the other.

What Product will you have to show at the end of the year to visitors who come to learn from you?

I will play a tune.

What sort of expenses will be involved in your project and how will you cover them.

The flute itself and maybe some sheet music.   The flute was $25.

What sort of equipment will you need and where will you get it?

The flute was purchased at Longsdale Key.

What is my timeline for completing my project

I will never complete it as it's a continuous project.  But I do plan on having my first song ready by the end of the year.

My Tasks.

There are many.  But right now my notes sound terrible, so I need to start practicing.  There is someone in my class who knows the flute so I feel self-conscious, but I am hoping that I am strong enough in character to try anyways.  Failure is just another name for a new learning experience.

1. finger technique
2. how to blow into the tin flute properly.
3. the cords
4. practice exercises.
5. Learn Twinkle Twinkle
6. Go through 1 video a week.

How will I present.

At a table, playing my music on and off.  I need a couple of short songs to play.
