I’ve really enjoyed the chance to intersect with the visual media students. The modules kind of feel like a fun break from all the large projects I’m working on in my core classes. Well, I’ve only had After Effects and AR so far which I find stimulating and entertaining, I may find the “fun break” aspect wane in later modules.
I am an independent cartoonist. Visual story telling is something I value and it’s the reason I decided to try my hand at graphic design. I was delighted to discover my skillset is a valuable asset when working in After Effects. It felt very natural to jump into the program and start making things. This experience gave me a new appreciation for the visual media program. I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn to use a tool I would have never touched otherwise.
I would love to produce graphics. It’s not something I ever considered before joining the program. I’ve filmed a few projects in the past but I pretty much just edited things in Imovie in a very rudimentary style. The next time I work on a video project I can add text and animation! I’m excited for whatever comes next in the modules.
