After Effectz

This turned out to be probably my favorite Tuesday of the course so far, I couldn't really say why, I've never really been interested in after effects and the things that we created weren't anything that I'd looked forward to creating, but I just felt as if the course was moving in a very positive direction and had a very pleasant day.

We started off with some warm-ups in Photoshop, which led up to some simple After Effects tasks which, whilst being quite simple to perform, gave me the sense that I was learning things which would be really valuable to me and all without having to labour over it too much. It seems like everyone is now a little more attuned to how we are meant to be working in these sessions on the computers, which I think helps with the overall attitude of the class, or maybe it was just the fact that we were given documents with the tutorials on them, rather than being talked through every step (Something which I was really grateful for after the Maya sessions). This was all topped off with the tutor being very cheery and helpful, completing a very light and pleasant day's work.

As someone I put down as a through and through 3d guy, I am pleasantly suprised at your warming to Flash and After FX. Has this experience altered you creative ideas in any way?
