This is your brain on drugs. Don't do drugs.For our final project before spring break, I decided to team up with my good ol' gamer friends Thanakorn and Thomas to make a PSA about how weed is bad, etc. But we decided to do a parody of all those old 80's commercials that were... how do I say, VERY EXTREME on their stance on weed. Our skit is heavily satire and well, kind of a joke but that's okay. It's funny.

For the past few weeks, we learned how to use most video editing (and animation) programs: After Effects, Animate, and Premiere. It's well-known that a large majority of my class despise animation (myself included) so when we learned about the wondrous thing known as computer-generated tweening, it was if God, the man himself, had heard our prayers.
Before this class I had... minimal experience with video editing, mostly with a cracked version of Sony Vegas. They were mostly for my friends, for parody purposes obviously (you can see them here and here.) but they taught me a lot about how editing worked, and how laborious it was. Now, learning how to use these new programs, I can definitely see their strengths and weaknesses. First, After Effects: pretty straight forward and easy to use, especially with the usage of keyframes and the stopwatch tool. You can make some quick n' easy motion graphics and even animations if you really want. It's a much more cleaner (though less detailed) version of Sony Vegas but gets the job done, and easier on the eyes. Next is Premiere, and to be frank, I don't know what's the difference between After Effects and Premiere. They.. look different, but they seem to accomplish the same thing? Ergo, it's relatively easy to pick up on if you're acclimated with AE. Now, Animate. Animate is the bane of my existence. I would rather kneel on rice than use Animate. Animate is a bizarre combo of Adobe Illustrator and AE; that is, you can make vector graphics and animate them, and manipulate how they tween as well. It's strange. And sometimes the tweens don't work. But it's there. Interestingly, it has the onion skin tool, which is very useful when you need to animate. But it's still very confusing. In Summary...
