Stylizing Timelines cont...

As mentioned in my previous post, problems which I have encountered when using photoshop filters and effects to find and create style fitting for my animtion dont not always work as well and produce the same effects in after effects. In some cases the filters are in one programme and not the other. However I have found a solution to this problem by trawling throught the internet. By exporting the animation from after effects as a Filmstrip, it can then be opened in photoshop for the effects, filters, styles, etc. to be applied and then simply saved ready to be reopened in after effects to be added to the project. I have yet to find other ways to create the same styles through other methods. For the moment the camera movements are to fast, while travelling through the ships.

Ink Edges


Poster Edges



Graphic pen

(still trying to find a way to upload. every way tried so far has failed, whether its direct to the blog site or embeded through you tube.)

Graphic Pen 15% opacity over Poster edge 75% desatuatration


With this last animation i have used a combination poster edges with a lower desatutraion and graphic pen over top to try to give a graphic novel effect. I will also investigate other ways in which to creat this effect.
