After Effects Workshop with Dan Short Posted: 23 Jul 2008 03:54 PM CDT Next Wednesday, July 30th Dan Short will be sharing his extensive knowledge of Adobe After Effects! This return of our workshop series from the spring is very exciting, and will be the first of lots of new events we’re getting fired up for this fall. The event will run from 6:30-9pm. Please RSVP on Upcoming so we can have a headcount! From Dan: This tutorial is meant to introduce users who are already familiar with Adobe applications to After Effects, although I am sure that there will be elements that would be valuable to anyone interested in the program.  I will be showing how to animate a logo over a background using 3D space, cameras, keyframing, with pixel and vector graphics.  I know it sounds like a mouthful, but I’ll be breaking it down and doing my best to answer any questions you might have.  If it sounds over complicated, don’t panic.  I am a nerd at heart, and it is in our nature to make things seem more complicated than they actually are. This “Logo” type of demonstration is a common introduction into After Effects because it incorporates so many of the programs abilities.  If this session is received well, I will build more tutorials based on the specific needs and wants of the Indy Hall community.  I look forward to seeing you there. If anyone would like to get a familiarity with the program before the tutorial, or would like to work along with me, I will be supplying my files to anyone interested.  You can also download a demo version of the program from the Adobe site.

After Effects Workshop Wrapup Posted: 31 Jul 2008 02:41 PM CDT Huge thanks to Dan Short for dedicating an evening to the half-dozen or so attendees. After an hour long demo based around creating a logo, Dan fielded questions, both about best practice and technical tips. He even went so far as to provide some AfterEffects ideas/resources like motionographer.com. At the request of the attendees, Dan has shared the source files for his demo. They’re freely downloadable below! Workshop Source Files Also, based on the positive responses from the attendees, we’d love to get Dan back to run another workshop. What would you like to see? Leave us your ideas in the comments, and we’ll follow up with a poll!
