Tester Video



As shown above even though two exact animations are completely identical when saved as a movie the settings chosen and quality effect the size of the file and the quality and crispness of the image. The film below has been done using the draft settings as it is only a tester but the poor quality is noticeable and although a smaller file then the full quality one it would not be good enough to use to produce my final piece or a bit of professional work.





The video itself has been made to test out moving images around on After Effects, getting the timing right and seeing if i can make them follow a select path. I found out even from this short experiment i can make objects speed up or slow down and follow routes. I also found out that when made with a transparent background in Photoshop this also carries over to After Effects. These are i believe the only criteria i need for creating my final piece.

After Effects Stop Motion

In an earlier post i ran into some complications with After Effects however now with University finally being back open and it working for me now i am able to put mien and Adams image sequence into After Effects to come up with a final and professional finished short video as seen below.



I shouldn't have to even really talk about the quality difference as it is plain to see and this is using bad quality or draft settings rather than the full lossless ones.
