Motion graphics production isn't limited to the digital world. This course takes you back into the studio to create custom motion backgrounds. Learn about lighting, staging, and filming everyday objects, which become an interesting, naturalistic footing for your motion effects. Author Rich Harrington shares techniques he uses in his own studio, RHED Pixel, to capture this footage and combine it with effects in popular postproduction tools like Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro, resulting in rich, abstract backdrops for your project.
Topics include:
Selecting a camera
Using a turntable to rotate your subject while you film
Lighting the scene
Choosing a frame rate
Creating dancing shadows
Shooting "through" objects
Making a loop
Building the composition
Retiming clips
Rendering the background
