Experimenting on After Effects

DAY 8

We set up camp in the heart of Hulme, in Kim by the sea as we spent our last day editing our film. The main frame and structure of the film was complete, leaving today to add music, edit transitions and add effects using the program, After Effects.

DAY 6/7

The last couple of days have been spent editing interviews, clipping footage and sieving through old film to create a rough draft to present to the group.

DAY 5

Into the wild, Hulme.

DAY 5

We spent the day filming around Hulme and interviewing local residents, old and young, learning about their backgrounds and stories.

DAY 4

We had a guest speaker, Michael Mayhew travel from London to speak to us about his time spent in Hulme. He was the leader behind Dogs of Heaven and an integral member of the artistic community, organising grand shows in Hulme.

DAY 3

In the morning, we had a skills tutorial using After Effects. We learnt to animate still images creating the illusion that it was live footage.

DAY 2

Our second day was walking around Hulme with Kelzo, a local graffiti artist, who led us on a walking tour around places of interest in Hulme. After lunch, we then took our ideas for filming to the drawing board and presented them to the rest of the group.

DAY 1:

We spent our first day in high vis jackets and hard hats as we were taken on a tour around the old hippodrome in Hulme. The hippodrome is one of only a few buildings that date back to the early 1900s. It is now a decrepit shell of its former self, held together with mainly rot and pigeon poo.
