DREAM (Converted) from Gerda Ziogelyte on Vimeo.

This workshop on After Effects was to help us how to use key points more effectively and on how to create a title with animation. We needed to choose random word which is on mind at that time. I always dream about everything,(sometimes people say that I am the real artist) so I chose word "Dream". 
I used illustrator for making my own typeface. 
Dreams sometimes hard to reach therefore my type is a little bit sharp. 

''We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.''

This work I have done in spare time, just to broaden my after effects skills, because sometimes I have struggle on this programme. The typeface I have chose was one of the final typefaces which we were needed to do in John's lessons.

It is not the perfect one, sound lags. Needs more love and work.  

KINETIC TYPOGRAPHY

"FIND WHAT YOU LOVE AND LET IT KILL YOU" CHARLIE BUKOWSKI

This is the first After effects lesson with typography. I decided to make this work using one of the writers quote, who I appreciate very much.

For our the 4th After Effects lesson we were thought how to create kinetic typography or moving text with a sound using some quotes or song lyrics. 

CHARACTER ANIMATION

We were asked to create a random animal or thing with illustrator which would have at least 5 layers.  

MOVIE TRAILER

For the first After Effects lesson we were asked to create a short trailer for the movie. Movie could have made of video or pictures/photos by experimenting with many different settings as contrast,transparency, saturation and etc.  
I choose to make something a little bit scary.
First of all I took photos of different people with white mask. It is the main effect of the video. Other random photos I took a few weeks ago and thought that those photos together could look very effectively.
