Extended Techniques - Typography 2

Charmer Typo Vid 21/12/07 from Kupon on Vimeo.

I have done another couple of 8 hour days on this, and now I have a whole 17 seconds to show for my troubles!

I am learning loads of things, as I have to work out After Effects and practical motion design as I go along. I have learned lots of basic things such as:

Basic transform and animation
Easing in and Out & the grid editor
Setting up compositions and designing in Photoshop and Illustrator for AE
some of the AE interface and a few shortcuts
audio synchronisation

I have barely touched:

Effects
Multi-layered comps
Video layers
Masks
3d
and loads more

Much of my time has been spent watching tutorials and I do have an idea of what the program does, but it will just take time to get to grips with it. Mistakes will need to get made, and an amount of trial and error business needs to happen.

I am hoping to get good enough so as not to be embarrassing before I start my work placement at BDA on the 11th Feb 2008. This is about 7 weeks away, so I feel I have to speed up and learn more ASAP.
