In class today we learned how to animate images on Adobe After Effects. This software works in a similar way to Photoshop and illustrator whereby different layers are used. On each layer you can control what action it makes.
I created a simple sequence in which a moon appeared and rotated. This was done by creating key frames and adjusting the size and angle the moon appeared at each frame. Next I used an image of an alien and made it appear to move around the moon. The movement was created by drawing out a pathway, again using key frames to outline the positions. I also emphasised the movement of the alien by using the directional blur technique, to make it appear as if the alien was moving at a fast pace. I also used the squash and stretch technique to exaggerate sharp movements. This was done by using the scale tool and closely places key frames.
Here is what the animation looked like:
