❁ Printing Video ❁

Image
This is a project that we did in film class. It was supposed to be about printing, and how to print.

I will also remember to not pan so much and keep the camera steady. Finally, I will get more closeup and interesting shots.

Why You Need Your ID

Onw Procedures Video               The aim of this project was to incorporate one of the ONW Procedures into a sort of "how-to" video, including the 6-shot system and the tools we had available with our new cameras. My partner and I decided to use the ID Procedure for our video.

The font should also look like handwriting - it will make the animation look better. After making the font layer, 'duplicate' it in a new layer and make the original text layer not shown.  You will end up with a file that looks like this. Step 2. Now, duplicate the copy of the original text layer (you will need to make a lot of copies in this project). Once you've made the copy, erase a little bit of the last letter off. Like this. Continue to make copies and delete a little bit off of each letter until your file is blank. Remember to make the previous layer not visible each time you make a...
