AFTER EFFECTS

Good day guyz , just thought ill just give you guyz a few pointer on how and were after effects can be used.
Iv used it in creting many banners , banner adds and advertisment, the limit to this is your own design. Everything and anthing can be created here, either by using shape layers , masking , movies or basic animations. Ps i suggest you guyz get trap code particular . I use this plugin adleast twice on every composition. handy to have.

So once you have created your banner or add, this can be add as an flv in a site , blog , email or anywere realy were you think you could put it, just make sure that its not to big , ass file upload may be a problem. to see examples of how after effects can be used in a website , look up one of sites that we have created IIS ORB CREATIONS.

Best part of after effects is that it is compatible with all other adobe programs, such as photoshop, illustrator and so forth.

All graphic web designers should learn to use this tool and see what differences you can achieve with your site and over all creative thinking.

creating awesum stuff

Creating particles in After Effects is awesome!  We have all used Particular and Particle world but why not combine those particles with some real ones!  Sometimes you need to create elements that are so complex and organic that you are better off taking out the camera and making a mess.


These particles were created with two basic components. Flour and a Canon

Hp Z800 AWESUM!!!!

just giving you guyz a little bit more information about AK. Todays topic is his awesum pc (monster of an item). His running an HP Z800 .

The Z800, meanwhile, sits at the top of the tree and is aimed at serious computing tasks where multilple processors and huge amounts of memory bandwidth is required. 
Prices for the Z800 range from £2,810 ex. VAT to £5,809 ex. VAT and that does not include a graphics card, so budget for that as well.

This is all youll need to get to the top, and ofcourse a bank to come with it, but non the less , you guyz who are serious about  your pc or after effects , start saving and get you one of these monsters.
