After Effects

Tonight's session will introduce you to After Effects - a motion graphics and compositing tool. I would describe it as Photoshop on acid.

Spaaaaace

I had a closer look at the Sea Dragon – http://seadragon.com/. The idea of applying a less conventional navigation system like this one is a kinda bizarre break from the conventions that suffocate graphic and web design. But once you get used to it, it starts to make perfect sense. The browser plugin used to deliver it probably makes a lot of difference, (Sea Dragon uses some weird witchcraft instead of anything i can identify) but there are loads of design companies adopting this kind of navigation using Flash. In particular, Wefail – http://www.wefail.com

A good example i found was this little nugget!!!

Production Methods



It is quite difficult to find images that match. The technique of using the channels does work really well though!

Commercial Awards/placements

Hi everyone, just found this and thought it was of possible interest to some.

It is a London based thing as far as I am aware but still,


maybe if there is enough interest we can try and give those Londoners a run for their money!

language of new media book - bargain!

I've just ordered a secondhand copy of the L. Manovich book on Amazon.co.uk and they seem to be running a promotion, (at least they offered me one). If you sign up for an Amazon card, you get a £15 voucher. That's about what the book costs so it's like getting it for free, (.75p actually). Just thought you might be interested..

Have a good weekend
