I’ve been a Photoshop user for years and am currently using their latest version, CS4. I also use their motion graphics program, After Effects. They make a great combination.
Recently, Dan Goldman (who works in Adobe’s “Skunkworks” division) shared a video of some of Adobe’s newest technologies.
If this is a sign of things to come in video editing and visual effects, we’ve got some powerful tools coming our way.
As a visual effects artist, I’ve had the tools to do the tracking shown in the first half of the video (using different tools). But the second half of the video is what really “grabs” my attention. You’ll see what I mean.
Just a quick update today. I’ve been swamped with video production work. Most of it is animation, motion graphics, and visual effects work.
In fact, I’ve now got a second film under my belt on IMDB. And the cool part is that for the this most recent film, ‘77, I’m listed right next to Richard Yuricich, a visual effects consultant who worked on 2001 and Mission Impossible, and I’m listed just a little under John Knoll. His works include visual effects supervisor for The Abyss, Star Wars, The Hunt for Red October, Pirates of the Caribbean, and much more.
It was an honor to work on the same film as these giants.
Add this some more personal things going on like a the new tile floor we installed at our house, new dog, and a few other surprises, things are pretty darn cool. More soon!
