Birdwaves Media Animation: The Kim Loo Sisters project

Step 3 > Getting in Motion

 

After the artwork is 'inked' and colored in Photoshop, I set up a new project in Apple Motion. I usually do modest animations in Final Cut Pro directly, but if I really want to get creative with it, I go for Motion.

 

Apple Motion

 

Above is the Apple Motion interface. Once again, I go crazy with the layers. 

 

This animation is a simple one, invloving animating the lights bordering the stage. I also created a curtain that opens in the beginning. If there were more time, I was thinking about zooming in and panning across the players. Maybe next time...

  

If sound FX are needed, I'll add them in the motion project as well. Then I'll export and bring into Final Cut for more editing and tweaking.

 

Well that's it for my short synopsis of my animation process. I condensed and skipped quite a bit, but I wanted to at least give the general idea.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

What Birdwaves Media Does

Web Design

Is your current website mobile-compatible? I'm fluent in both Wordpress and Joomla!. Besides mobile-compatibility and higher Google rankings, a CMS also lets you update your own site using only your web-browser and without having to code. Let's get started!

Video Production / Editing

Small productions, all phases from planning to recording to editing. Editing in Final Cut X. Green screen available.

Mac and PC Support

While I prefer to work on Mac, and I only recommend them, I do work on PC’s as well. Got a problem? I’m here to help!

Music Recording / Production

At my recording studio here in Ashfield, I'm able to record groups. A sweet vocal booth is available for voiceover work. Audiobooks, voiceover, and poetry readings a specialty.
