Assignment One: Animated photoshop brushes




So I've included my video above for this assignment.

Basically I was trying to accomplish an effect of swirls and lavishes being drawn right in front of your eyes, while still not distracting you from my fat cat Heidi.

When it comes to technical skills, I used four different programs. I started in Photoshop to choose my brushes and size my chosen photograph. I then exported it to Adobe Flash Professional where I animated the brushes by using a brush tool and slowly masking out parts of the effect. I then exported again to After Effects to give some color change using the Colorama effect and to (Gaussian) blur out the end of the sequence. Finally I exported it to Premiere Pro and added music which I got off of a royalty free site called incompetech.com. The music title is Vivacity.

I think I did okay on the first assignment. My brush masks could have definitely been smoother and not so choppy, but overall it gave a neat effect.
