BALTIMORE TRANSFORMATIONS: AFTER EFFECTS TRAINING CAMP
Ages 16-29
Fall 2021, JHU-MICA Film Centre
In this workshop fellows will use Adobe After Effects to transform moving images of Baltimore faces, buildings, and neighborhoods. These transformations may be grounded in either narrative or lyrical progressions, and might explore personal or sociopolitical concerns, addressing changes in self or city, whether positive or negative, realistic or fantastical. Working with footage captured with smartphone cameras between meetings, and with program cameras during classtime excursions, they'll learn the basics of After Effects, creating motion graphics, keying green screen footage, experimenting with motion tracking, key framing, and more. They’ll record voiceovers and/or experimental soundscapes to accompany their visuals. Final projects will be shared at a virtual screening and on the program website. Limited to 8 student fellows.
