Sara: Visual Tone

After effects intro from John Brown on Vimeo.

After effects session 1. Learning how to combine audio and solid colour blocks together using the beat of the song to judge the change in colour in the motion graphic. I really like the simplicity of this piece even though it was just used to develop basic skills within the software I think it would look really good with some white text over it.

I think that using skills that are not only learning new tools but thinking creatively i.e. timing the change of colour to the song is a really good start to motion graphics for me as it a more advanced mind set compare to just laying the coloured tiles over the song. I achieved this by adding timing markers on the time line where the beat of the song changes this allowed me to place the different coloured solid shapes parallel to these which meant they were also in time.
