The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
Adobe After Effects is a programme designed for creating animation. More precisely, the programme is used primarily for creating motion graphics and visual effects. The purpose of the thesis was to determine whether it is possible to create ** graphic animation** using only the tools offered by the After Effects programme. Although one could answer this in the affirmative, the author feels that the tools for creating graphic content in this programme are very weak.
Problem
Adobe After Effects is a programme designed for creating animation.
Solution and method
More precisely, the programme is used primarily for creating motion graphics and visual effects. The diploma thesis covers the process of creating graphic animation for the animated business portfolio of Mitja Lundr. The first part covers the description of the concept development and the evolution of the idea.
This is followed by a presentation of the basics and functions of the user interface. The following chapters describe the production process in After Effects. This work covers exclusively the tools that were needed to create the animation, and gradually provides the reader with information about the process of creating the final product. The entire project is a product of inspiration from various animated portfolios and the author's own enjoyment of animation and learning Adobe After Effects. During the production of the diploma thesis and animation, he discovered what a ** powerful tool** Adobe After Effects is.
He discovered many new tools and tricks that can make work easier and improve productivity. Nevertheless, the author feels that the final product is only a fraction of everything the programme has to offer.
Results
The purpose of the thesis was to determine whether it is possible to create graphic animation using only the tools offered by the After Effects programme. Although one could answer this in the affirmative, the author feels that the tools for creating graphic content in this programme are very weak. However, more than the weakness of the tools for creating graphics, he is surprised that it would still be possible to create the entire animation using only After Effects.
One must be aware that the programme is essentially designed for animation and creating effects, so the ability to create graphics is just another advantage of the programme. Of course, the assistance of programmes such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator makes the work considerably easier, as both contain more ** advanced graphic tools** and their primary purpose is creating graphics. With the help of other programmes, one can shorten the work by several days.
However, this does not exclude the fact that Adobe After Effects enables graphic editing as well as animation creation. Whilst the other two programmes enable better and easier graphic editing, they do not enable animation. I conclude that Adobe After Effects is probably one of the most powerful tools designed for creating animations and effects.
With a little skill and ingenuity, it can be even more than that.
