project 2: animation

ANIMATION PROJECT from Alexx Jaramillo on Vimeo.

As my first ever go with After Effects, i'd have to say that i played it a little safe. When I first opened the program, I sat in the lab for 2 hours just staring at my imported diptych and i wanted to cry.
I was really inspired, however, by the video we saw in class Bonobo's "Cirrus"

I like the concept of turning something old into something new and disturbing, and i tried my best with this project. I feel as if my first animation was somewhat of a success, I definitely strayed from the original composition of my piece and it may seem like it has a lack of a sense of direction, but i think that kind of portrays who i am as well.

I was nearly in a fist fight with After Effects and I could not figure out how to end my video at the  actual ending which is at 12 seconds, not 30.. i need to go back in to Ae and figure out how to end it when it is over.
