10th Week - Everything and the Kitchen Sink

This week in Adobe After Effects and Flash Professional, I learned of the wonders of rotoscoping and did some flash amination. I attempted to recreate a famous example of rotoscoping, the Light Saber. I started out with a box that I animated frame by frame to follow the movement of the dummy sword and then duplicated that layer about five times. I then took those individual layers and changed the colors around, as well as adding a feather effect with varying intensity. Then I added in some saber sounds and achieved the final product in the video above. The small amount of time I spent in Flash proved to be unproductive, as I found myself to be extremely rusty with that program.
