March 20/ Manual Test

This week I helped Jackson, Mariah and Zoe paint the banner for King Hall. We were low on spray paint so we could not do as good of a job as we wish but I still think it came out good. If visions tries to do a similar thing in the future, I would recommend to use actual paint with a roller instead of spray paint. A Paint roller would look cleaner and more professional.

As for the bumpers, Ive been making constant updates on my Video Race bumper because we keep pushing back the rollout. At first it was the 1st, then the 20th, then the 21st now its the 29th. The one time i decided not to procrastinate it turns out to be the one time when I should. I updated the date today then two hours later I need to update it again. I do not know why I am whining though, it is an easy fix but I am trying to write a paper due tomorrow. I have other things to do and it is not like I can make these fixes on my cellphone.

Installation is coming out nice though I have a little bit of everything to present to the class coming up this week. I have been kind of flying in the blind so far and I am not sure how much of my stuff can be psychadellic trippy stuff and how much needs to be space. But still I have interactive options, live feeds from space, the greatest short epic of al time A Trip To the Moon (1902), found footage, and some animations I made myself.

Questions 1:
For final renders in After Effects, how would you export to render at the best quality?


Answer
In order to get the best render from After Effects it is best to use export as an h264. For presentations and social media it is better to to export as a smaller size. It is best to render all of the final products in premiere to avoid problems.
