Week 4
Sound Design and Advanced Animation
1.)We'll begin by having you all present your mobile application concepts. We want to see the following:
a.)Your elevator pitch
b.)Your design sketches
c.)PhotoShop/Illustrator mockups
2.)Then we'll talk about sound design in After Effects. I've included a short tutorial video that covers one of the ways I use sound in After Effects:
Introduction to Audio Syncing in AE
3.)Then we'll use some sound and advanced animation to create a logo animation for your mobile apps.
Here is a demonstration of my logo animation for my Bar Tab application:

4.)Homework: create your own logo animation for your mobile app demo video. You'll be drawing from your graphic design backgrounds here to develop a logo that befits the app concept you introduced today. Create a short, elegant animation (no more than 5-6 seconds) for your logo that has a meaning relvant to your concept.
