Kurt Murphy, Art Director, Animation Artist, Creative Cow Contributor and owner of Paws for Effect, presented to the Western New York Post Production Group on the fundamental understanding of Adobe After Effects. He demonstrated some of his current work and answered questions about basic and advanced Adobe After Effects techniques. His extensive presentation included the Value Home Center commercial spot “snow globe”, and a video clip of the reenactment of the storming of the Normandy Beach. This video was produced with a cast of 3 members and basic post production software. It really is amazing to see what they did.
Chris Thomas, Senior Editor at WNED presented a basic understanding of the Avid Marquee titling program. He was able to use WNED’s access to ALEX to expand the presentation and tailor it for the participants. You can check out ALEX courses on the web at http://www.avid.com/training/alex.asp.
The next meeting for WNYPPG is on April 22 at WNED-TV. You can get up to the date information about WNYPPG at wnyppg.org.
