The unit 64 project has taught me many valuable skills using software such as adobe photoshop, Illustrator and after effects. i already had some basic skills in using photoshop although Unit 64 has helped me develop those skills from using new tools and expanding my knowledge. I had no experience in using illusrator or after effects before although with a step by step guide i soon picked it up using my basic knowledge from photoshop.
As i had some basic skills in video editing i was looking forward to using after effects for HA2 as i had used other editing software such as final cut pro and sony vegas before but had never used any adobe software for editing videos and was looking foward to gaining new skills.
I found HA1 much harder because i had very little idea about the technical sides of motion graphics compression and file formats ect so for the assigment i had to do alot more research compared to HA2 to expand my knowledge on the technical side of motion graphics. Even though it was hard work i enjoyed researching and finding out which companys use what editing software for animated films like Pixars Toy Story.
Overall i enjoyed HA1 and HA2 as they both expanded my skills in editing software and my research skills.
