Video Mom

I'm taking a class once a week about Adobe After Effects.  I have been using it  somewhat in my video work, but I knew there was so much more that could be possible.  I have only had a few classes, but so far I have learned quite a bit. 

I didn't know that so much could be done with it in connection to Adobe Illustrator.  You can use After Effects to animate a lot of the stuff that you make in Illustrator.  As one of my projects I was working on animating a logo, so I have been practicing a lot with Illustrator.

I have been debating changing my blog name for a while and I figured this was a good enough time.  I actually have a confession.  The eggplant in the picture was from our garden this past summer.  For some reason or other we never even picked it.  It just sat out there and rotted.  So I guess you could say I am not very good at saving eggplants.

I am just trying out this banner for now.  It is subject to change in the near future as is the rest of my blog.   I'll try and keep you posted on any projects I come up with as I take this class.  I've already made a moving logo out of the same pictures I used in my banner, but as a tag for movies I make, which I use the name "Video by Karen".  I don't want to post it quite yet, because I think I'm going to adjust it some more first.
