Project #3: Deconstructing Logos

Due date: Feb 17, 2011


Animation:
Create three animations of 7 to 10 seconds each, in which you build up and then take apart a logo or symbol of your choice. You can choose to focus on one logo and create three different animations or use three different logos. Make sure the shape you choose is complex enough for an interesting animation.


Your logos MUST be a layered illustrator vector file.

Specs:

1280x720, square pixels, 29.97 fps, h264 compression

Hints:

• Don't forget to turn on continuous rasterization when you animate (see image below).
• Place your logo elements on SEPARATE LAYERS and not simply sub-layers (see image below). After Effects does not recognize sub-layers and will import your file as flat.
• Import your file as a "Composition—retain layer size".

Continuously Rasterize
