new media exploration

I chose to do my new media exploration on the Film project "LUCID DREAM" which I presented in class. This is a project mostly created in After Effects and photoshop. You can see that photoshop was used to clip out different sections of the photos and knock out backgrounds. After Effects was used to do all the animation of the pictures including the zooming, panning, motion tweening etc. It is a snowboard film that is put together with all still photography images by Ian Ruhter. It is has a unique style that allows the images to come alive. The whole idea of the project came to Ian in a dream. He always pictured his photography images were moving. To keep prices down on the project they sought after design students and interns to help put together this overall film. This is a great short film, go find yourself a copy.
