Motion Graphics and other stuff

Woop! Finally reached a breakthrough involving Adobe After Effects. After spending about 4 hours this afternoon, just experimenting with all the different effects and settings, I produced a 3 second titles screen which I would say was to near professional standard. What I really enjoy about After Effects, is the fact that you can change nearly any variable in the forms of the size, movement and the effects just look so awesome and are really easy to use when you get the hang of it. I can see myself using the programme quite a lot in the future. But yes, the Motion Graphics unit is going pretty fluidly and I'm really enjoying it, picking up useful little techniques as we progess through.

I am starting to become a bit worried on the professional brief unit as I'm falling back a bit on where I had planned to be at this point in time, mostly due to me not knowing completely on what I'll be filming for my project but I will try to work on it tomorrow and over the weekend. My research is almost finished on Sustainable energy, and it's mostly about getting it all into my sketchbook but juggling this work with the Motion Graphics unit, the previous unit which I'm planning on re-submitting tomorrow and the badly timed idea of having double hours pinned on me at work, it's not as easy as I thought...
