Motion Graphics users have used Flash and Adobe After Effects for many years.
This month, TITMOUSE STUDIOS will showcase some of their pipeline tips and tricks for successful integration, Harry Frank of GRAYMACHINE will teach you some After Effects skills, and check out your peers' work as we call for DEMO REELS again (bonus prize).
If you're interested in cel animation, animation compositing, or just want to see how others are using Flash and After Effects, you won't want to be late to the November meeting.
TITMOUSE STUDIOS
Titmouse is fundamentally a Flash based studio; the vast majority of our animation is produced using Flash. While the program might be labeled an internet tool – and carry a reputation for “limited” animation – it is an
integral part of our pipeline. Typically, designs are created with a variety of programs then converted to Flash. These elements are then colored, and broken-up into pieces or asset that can be manipulated by our animators – what we call “puppetry”. However; depending on creative, time and budget, we can also utilize Flash in the traditional sense, using it to digitally draw and color frame by frame.

GRAYMACHINE
Harry Frank will come to talk about some new project breakdowns for After Effects users (advanced / intermediate / beginner welcome)
