For Today: ae demo: repeater, trim paths, puppet pin
This week, Continue development of P3: Motion Infographic-Explainer. This week, we will work on our 30s (due Wednesday). If you haven’t already done so, be sure to record your voiceover before Wednesday of this week.
In After Effects, this week we will learn about trim paths, repeaters, and the puppet pin tool. Please watch the video below and review the resources.

- For Review:
P3 Considerations (ask yourself)
- Hook: Is there a strong hook (emotional, surprising statistic, relevant question or quote, metaphor, story, provocative statement, incite curiosity, intriguing visual, “imagine” statement)? Ways to improve.
- Timing: Does the movement synchronize with music or voice overs? Identity moments out of sync or timed incorrectly.
- Transitions: Do any scenes enter/exit at the wrong time? Are there any transitions that seem out of place or lacking?
- Formal Considerations: Do the design choices connect with big idea? Does anything break the unity throughout?
- Concept in Motion: Do the objects move in a way that connects with the concept? Identify how their motion moves. Choose a descriptive word and discuss whether it aligns. https://dfsalvador.com/2011/08/16/51-useful-words-to-describe-motion/
