Crunchy Joe- Aftereffects Experimentation

Really the only thing I've ever used Aftereffects for is just importing and exporting PNG sequences as video files (see my 3D animations). But I know I've seen some really awesome things that people have made with it so I wanted to start learning more about it. So here, I've just been messing around with some really basic stuff- just some opacity, nothing exciting. I also learned a little bit about particle systems, that alpha matte at the end is bound to a null object animation. It was probably my favorite little trick I used in this clip.

I'll probably mess around with it some more, I wanna try some other things with it. It looks pretty boring right now!

Drawing Editing- Before and After

The process by which I edit my traditional drawings digitally to compensate for quality lost through the camera (I don't have a scanner, so I photograph all of my traditional art).

Typically I try to work with the cleanest (sharpest) photograph I can, but the lens inevitably warps the colors and the perspective. So I have to correct that in Photoshop.

Before:

After: 

Nothing fancy. But I always like looking at before and after pictures.
