Made for George Pestana of the Austin Surf rock band THE NEMATOADS.
2D Animation made in Adobe Flash and Adobe After Effects,
The drum of course is based on the drum kit of Ringo Starr of the Beatles. George’s actual drum kit doesn’t really look this.

For a recent wedding shoot I had a freelancer use a Black Magic camera. I have heard very good things about that camera, how the footage looks just like 35mm motion picture film! I was very excited. And I was a bit nervous how that footage would mix in when edited in with footage with my other cameras.

It was so much smaller than I thought it would be.
What I saw in the viewfinder screen concerned me, everything was a dull desaturated greenish grey. The camera operator told me to relax, that all blackmagic footage looks like that until color graded in Davinci Resolve.
Well I don’t have Davinci Resolve. I ran the footage through Adobe After Effects and added an adjustment layer with AUTO COLOR and a lot of vibrancy came back into the image.
Then I added “Brightness and Contrast”. Lowering the Brightness and increasing the Contrast helped even more.
It still didn’t look right.
I added a third adjust layer and used HUE AND SATURATION and increased the saturation of the reds and blues and it started to look like the other cameras.
I set it to render then read THIS article:

It says I should have used Effects>Synthetic Aperture.
Hmm I will have to try that on the next shots. So far I am not that impressed. It seems just like my video footage, not this marvelous film look I was expecting. Then again it is most likely the problem is my limited experience with color grading footage from the BlackMagic, and not the camera itself.
Fireplace Cartoon, Adobe Flash

Drawn in Adobe Flash ( Adobe Animate) then exported as a “.swf” file,
It was a little bigger than 1920 by 1080 so I brought the flash “.swf” file into Adobe After Effects. I scaled it down about 80 %. Then I added the website url and phone number, luckily Adobe After Effects had the same font installed as I used in Flash.
I felt the white lettering didn’t stand out enough from the bright white background. So even though it was drawn line art already, I added an adjustment layer with the Stylize > Cartoon filter over everything. It gave the lines a greater thickness.
Then I added another adjustment layer with the ” CC Snowfall” effect on it. White snowflakes against a white background? I put the snow effect layer UNDER the cartoon layer- this giving the snowflakes a thin outline.

I rendered it all as a Quicktime H.264 “.mov ” so it could be uploaded easily to Youtube.
Then I shared it via Twitter and Google Plus.

Clock face animation, made in Adobe Flash (Adobe Animate) and composited in After Effects
I created this animation in Adobe Flash ( Adobe Animate). The images are on 4 seperate layers, exported seperarely, then composited in 3D layers in After Effects.
The first one has the camera shaking, ( but shaking too much). The shake was created with Wiggler. The 2nd version has no layered effects. The 3rd is the camera pointed really close to the numbers, but the distance between the background and the numbers.

A client wanted the red tape on the football players shirt removed. The tape was covering up a copyrighted logo. I exported the files into an Adobe Photoshop Stack, then used the clone tool to cover up the red tape.
Then I imported them into Adobe After Effects, and sequenced them back into order.
