YNA week 10

What did you create this week?

This week I started using the pin puppet tool in after effects to try to kinda “animate” the illustrator project I was working on. I also imported and started editing the photoshoot I took during the weekend, I also edited some pictures for my friend cause she asked me to.

(the pin puppet tool is this tool in after effects thats good for making pictures move and to do easy and quick animations)

What problems did you have this week and how did you overcome them?

Some problems I had was kind of more on the creative side of things. I had these pictures but didn’t know how I wanted to edit them or where I wanted to go with it. I fixed this by getting other creative minds to help with ideas, so i asked Mary to help me and get some of her opinions and thoughts. When I was editing the pictures for my friend I was a little stuck too, I just started playing around with the tools until I got somewhere I wanted. I also made different edits for each picture so she can choose which one she likes. The most challenging problem was using the pin puppet tool for the first time. I was confused how to use it and whenever I imported the picture it wouldn’t show up. I watched some YouTube tutorials and I tried exporting it in different ways, i tried making it a png, jpeg, or just importing it as an ai, i also changed the stroke color to white and the background color in after effects to white, eventually I got it. I think it was just after effect being weird because I quit the app and tried it again and it worked.

What are your goals for next week?

My goals next week are mostly finishing. Finish editing these photos I took and finish animating this illustrator pin puppet thing. Im also going to restart my resume and add more stuff, as well as edit my website. If i have time I might start something new or check out a camera.
