AE Text

Untitled from Jordan Torres on Vimeo.

great. so. this is playing around with text. it's a bunch of opacity animators timed separately. the coolest effect happens when you do one letter at a time like i did with my name, but i didn't have enough time to do it. i'd like to keep expanding on this one. i think the concept is cool, but the project kind of hastily done.

Project 4

Inside the Womb from Jordan Torres on Vimeo.

This is the inside of a womb with white blood cells, red blood cells ready for an x-ray and a virus in the background. The uterus was created by taking a jpeg into photoshop and turning it into a 3D primitive. I exported it into after effects and used psds of the cells that i had masked in photoshop. they are positioned using the x,y, and z coordinates and have scale , position and orientation keyframes on them. the camera navigates forward with no real direction. when it flips, imagine a baby getting ready to liberate itself.

ben sat with me almost the entire time i did this. it was really confusing getting from photoshop 3D to after effects.

This is...my dog from Jordan Torres on Vimeo.


I hope this lame intro misleads you. the rest of it makes me laugh every time i watch it. i followed a tutorial online to create the text... it does have a mask to create the vignette look and a couple of sweet eases. and who could hate the lens flare?

the rest is my dog. there are two masks to create the three lovelies on the couch. i was hoping someone (ben or anyone else) could help me figure out how to fix the left leg on the middle dog. i had to adjust the mask in order to fit in the nose of the far right dog but it made that leg look pretty bad.
