WORKING WITH ADOBE AFTER EFFECT

While editing the opening scene, I found out that the film opening need an animated intro with the title of the movie, "Sweet Dream" on it. I was searching for free template (because we don't have any budget) but none of them fit into our film opening.

Right at that moment, I knew that I need to create one myself so that what I did. I install Adobe After Effects on my laptop, go on YouTube to watch tutorial and start my learning. At first, it was quite hard to used for me because it is a completely new experience and new software for me but after a while, I found out that it still had some similarities with other video editing software that I have used before. It take me a while to know all the panels, where to find things, short key for specific tasks but after about 1 day I have learnt the basic part of it.

Now I need to come up with an idea for the animated scene. One of the art style that make me really interested is collage art style and after thinking for a while, I see the potential of that idea and it would probably go well with my project so I start to learn how to design that style.

An example of how collage art looks like

*Note: the source of the image in the reference is also where I learn how to create my intro for the film opening

Then I start turning my idea into real products. Here are some image of each of the step:

Creating the background

Adding mask and animation

Create effect for the title

Designing the title

Adding torned paper effect to the edge

Assembling everything

Creating texture

DONE!

And this is my final product of the animated intro, ENJOY!!!
