Week #6: Kinetic Type & 3D Objects (Images & Type)

First,
This week we begin working on a kinetic poem.
1) Have your poem selected, for use this week. You will use the title in a 3D modeling exercise.
2) Look for objects (nouns), descriptors (adjectives) and action words (verbs) in the poem. These will help with the kinetic translation.
3) Sketch out a storyboard for next time we meet.

Second,
We begin to look at 3D modeling and animation in AE.
• Creating a grid from a Solid layer
• Setting a Guide layer
• Using views
• 2D to 3D switch
• Camera Orbit Tool
• X & Y Rotation

HOW TO:
Here we have the beginnings of a 3D book, made out of a 2D image.

Featuring:
• Solid Layer creation
• Transforming a solid layer into a grid
• Transforming a grid into a guide layer
• Repositioning the grid with an X Rotation
• Setting an image to be 3D
• Adjusting the position of an image with the position value
• Using the Camera Orbit Tool (C)
• Flipping an image using 180º Y Rotation
