This video was an attempt to utilize the various programs from the semester: Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Premiere, Illustrator, and After Effects). I utilized numerous tutorials for different aspects of this video (the solar system, the bubbles, etc…). The clips of the moon in the beginning are from a Nasa YouTube video. The shots at the end are from the New York Aquarium.
This being my first encounter with After Effects, I had some difficulty working with the program and exporting it. This is not the end product I would prefer. It’s missing opening titles and closing credits. I also had more ideas for the text in the middle of the poem, but I think it’s a pretty good first effort.
