Jump Exercise

In this exercise I learned how to mask images with the pen tool. This is a quick and easy way of masking out the images. I used to do this in photoshop exporting it out as a transparent image but with this tool it saves so much time. For the jump I listened to what was said in the lecture about keyframing. Don't just make three keys that will make only the image go up and down rather play a little with the timing to make it more life like even though its just an image.

Spatial Montage & Temporal Montage

Using the 6 image given I have created a collage of buildings. Using the magic wand tool in photoshop I've manged to get rid of the sky as well as some building. To make the buildings blend in with each other I used the adjustment layers playing around with the curves and putting in some gradients.

In the next task I used the same scene and loaded it into after effects. Using the masking tools I've manage to make the buildings appear to rise. I also made the layers in 3d so I can play around with the camera to give then scene some depth.
