Task 5 (Image Sequencing)

For this task I imported my image sequence from Lightroom to After Effects as tiff files. From here I experimented with how I could create different effects by modifying the speed, transitions and durations. Through these tools I was able to create a varied frame rate, testing how playback speed could effect sense of movement and adjusted clip duration to either compress or prolong a section. For example, slowing down the first 18 frames of the animation creates a more suspenseful introduction or speeding up an action such as punches can create more impact.

Setting file renaming to "sequence#001" custom template.

Setting file extension and colour space.

Creating composition

Experimenting with overlap setting.

created 3 composition for each action, each moving at a different speed

2. 3.

Complete timeline with compositions all together.

Resizing composition to fit frame.

Exporting

Set setting to H.264 and use Youtube 1080p Full HD preset Successfully exported

Separated compositions to create 4 more.

• Mostly evenly paced with a slight increase at the end

1

• Fast at beginning and end, slowed down in the middle to create suspense

2

• Speed up entire timeline and added a sharper curve to the ending. Creating more emphasis on the final punch. 3
• Slowed down intro, created gaps in the middle to have a strobe effect, kept end speed the same

4

• Speed up first half an animation and then create a gap right before the punch. This left a surprise at the end of the animation

Queued up to export.

All exported successfully.

Reflection

• 5 stop motion videos were made
• experimented by
  • changing distance between frames, creating a variable frame rate
  • modifying duration of frames
  • duration overlaps to create different effects and change pacing
  • leaving gaps in between frames to create a strobe effect
