Fashion Self Portrait Video

This was very neat. It was definitely weird at times, but it works really well on being a self portrait video. I am assuming the person who made it is very into fashion and that is what makes them who they are. I like how they took a different approach to the idea of a self portrait video. I like the animation of the tigers as well and how they were used throughout the whole video. I was good they had repetition rather than it being shown once then never showing up again. It would be very random. But the tiger adds a nice touch to it and gives it a fierce look. Very cool and creative!

Self Portrait Painter Video

This was a very weird Self Portrait Video. The music was kind of nice and it added suspense but there were times where it was just to slow for me and I wanted it to get to the point. I like where the video takes place and the filming is rather good, I just wish it was more of a quicker video. It was really interesting though and I think it could be amazing if it was tweaked just a little bit more.

High School Rotoscopes

This is interesting! It is a video containing all these high schoolers rotoscope projects. I love how in these videos you can see all the different techniques and varieties that the students come up with. Some of them are very choppy and some are done pretty nicely. I think it is awesome though how they are learning to rotoscope in some high schools. If I knew what rotoscoping was before now, I would of been a lot more confident in my work.

Rotoscope Music Video

This is AWESOME! I cant imagine how long it must have taken! The dancing is awesome and he captured it so well with his animation using rotoscoping! I love the colors in the round-about. It was so very nicely done and I give him a huge round of applause because I know how frustrating this can be. I love his style through the whole thing. The animation also goes really well with the music with all the dancing going on. I hope my rotoscope video I have to touch up for the final turns out to be really cool.

Rotoscope Animation

This is a really well done rotoscope animation. It was extremely clean looking. I can imagine how long it took but in the end it is worth it because it turns out so nicely. They looped the guitar playing but you couldn't tell which is nice. I was very clean. I wonder how they went about filming it. It was very creative how he drew the guitar then started playing it. This video kind of remembers me of Rhett's, a guy in my class. It was very similar to his in a way. Very well done.

Masking Tutorial

This is interesting because it talks about masking and kind of explains how to do it. I wasn't in class that day so videos like this help me out a lot. I have to think of a way to add masking into my video and I am not sure yet how I well do it. It was kind of hard to understand the guy talking and I am sure I could find a better video but it works pretty well for right now.

Under Water Kinetic Type

This is very cool looking. It really has that under water effect. They did a really good job with that. It looks like something that would truly being in a famous movie I love how they have the letters be blurry and wiggly. I also like how they fade in and out  with the music. I looks very nice and very realistic. They did a really good job with it and you can tell they put a lot of time in it.

Edited After Effects

Its fun to see all the different stuff you can do with these effects. This boy is so young and know more than I do! I want to be able to learn more of the different effects because it would be fun to do in a video. Of course some of his shots could be better but over all it is cool just to show people what can be done using Adobe After Effects. That is what we are learning this semester and it is definitely just an intro so we still have so much to learn in the future.

After Effects Music Video

This is really cool! I love all the different edits he does throughout his music video. I can definitely tell he is using different cameras for that 3d effect. He also does a good job with kinetic typography. All the different type fits the video well. He keep it very interesting and exciting throughout the entire thing. I would say he is pretty good at using after effects. It is always cool to see what people can do.

Little Boy using after effects

This is a cool little video showing you different things you can do in after effects. I never knew you could do these things but of course I still have SO much to learn in after effects. This is an older version and it is still really cool looking. I really like the acting of the little boy. He really makes it look like he is doing the stuff that he edited with after effects. It would be so cool to learn all the different things to do and try them in a few of my videos. They cant be THAT hard.
