“ The Kid Stays in the Picture”

The video “The Kid Stays in the Picture” shows Bob Evan’s life while showing Adobe After Effect techniques with photos. The designers of the film took photos of Bob Evans and brought them to life. They changed the photos by removing and replacing elements, changed background, played with focus, and created glow from light sources within the pictures. To create depth in the images, the designers added images over other images. Some of the other ways they applied photos within a motion composition included using photos for the background of moving images or 2D graphics behind photos to create casting shadows. The video reviewed many effects that motion graphic designers can manipulate in their work.
