District 9 tests

Just experimenting here with opacity and the ease in and ease out key frame assistant tools in after effects. This is the start clip asset for the district 9 ident. I tried a siren sound effect here but it was too hard to place evenly on the video clip and parts of the siren audio waveform were getting cut off. It also made it a bit cheesy so i got rid.



This took so long! (about 6 hours) everything ran smoothly in terms of importing in the assets, but what took the longest was the masking along a path and also the positioning of the imagery. I had to tweak it from my storyboard (and need to draw up another) because initially I wanted to use the camera took for this animation but I couldnt make it run as smoothly as I wanted so I need to find a way around that. Im guessing that a blur effect that is correctly automated could help this and give the same effect along with placement and maybe motion blur of the prawn pictogram.
I have an audio track in mind for this video and also a few sound effects, will upload more soon!
