Introduction to After Effects

Workshop

12 & 19 June 2016
Vidéographe

$85 members / $135 non-members



Course led in French by Vincent Laquerre

This beginner-level course is intended for those with little or no experience of the After Effects animation software. Practical exercises will supplement theoretical instruction, allowing participants to put theory into practice using computers provided by Vidéographe.

The versatility of the After Effects program allows media arts practitioners to become more independent in the production of their work. Using this software, participants will be introduced to the basics of cache, and shown how to animate text and add camera moves to still photographs, among other things.

The course will cover the following areas:

  • Tools and interface
  • How to structure a project
  • The basics of animation
  • Keyboard shortcuts and strategies for working efficiently
  • After Effects tools for typographic animation
  • Rendering and exportation basics

The instructor will provide participants with a bank of images to use in practical exercises and computers will be provided, subject to availability.

This course is given in line with Vidéographe’s mandate to support artistic creation, and is available to both members and non-members. While registration is open to all, places are limited.
Where: Vidéographe , 4550 Garnier Street, Montréal, QC H2J 3S7
When:  12 & 19 June, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Public transport: Metro – Mont-Royal; Bus – lines 27, 45 and 97
Prices: $85 members / $135 non-members

Vincent Laquerre

Vincent began using stop-motion animation when he was just 10 years old. At around 12 years of age, he discovered 3D software and, not long after, Photoshop. Just a few years later, in 2010, he began using After Effects, which is now the primary tool he uses in his work. Vincent has trained in mechanical engineering and holds a Bachelor’s degree in graphic design from Université Laval. He specializes in 2D and 3D animation, realistic rendering, vector format, and typographic and logotype animation.

Program description

The Technical Support Program is intended to support artists interested in experimentation and in pushing the boundaries of the moving image in all its forms.
This support can be used in the production phase of the project or in the post-production phase.

A total of 4 calls for submissions per year will be made, for which the following are the deadlines;

  • March 1st (for projects that will start between April and June)
  • June 1st (for projects that will start between July and September)
  • September 1st (for projects that will start between October and December)

Please note that 2 projects per call for submissions will be selected.

Artists selected under this program have free access to:

  • Free access to available equipment belonging to Vidéographe.
  • Two meetings with Vidéographe’s team to discuss the project and its circulation potential: one meeting at the start of the project in order to specify the needs and a second meeting at the end of the project.
  • The possibility of organizing a private screening at Vidéographe.

It is not necessary to be a member of Vidéographe to apply; however, should your proposal be accepted, we will ask that you become a member. Once you have signed the agreement, you will have three months to take advantage of the benefits that this program has to offer. Regular membership fees are $50 + tx per year and student membership fees are $25 + tx per year.

We are looking to support independent experimental or documentary works that stand apart for their currency and endeavour to renew the artistic language. We will accept proposals for single-channel video, installation, Web-based work, and all other forms of moving image. We consider all genres—video art, experimental work, fiction, documentary or essay form, animation, dance video, and videoclip. Please note that all works must be independent and non-commercial. Projects of a conventional nature, such as classic short narrative film or television documentary will not be considered.

Once your project is finished, you may submit it for active distribution by Vidéographe. Please note however that acceptance into the Technical Support Program does not guarantee that your work will be distributed.

Required

  • Candidates must possess full editorial and creative control of the project.
  • Projects must be independent and non-commercial.
  • Projects that have received support through this program may not be re-submitted.
  • Student projects are not admissible.
  • We encourage traditionally under-represented artists to submit a project. Vidéographe is driven by the conviction that multiple points of views are necessary to enrich society and the discipline we work in.

Selection process

Works will be chosen by a selection committee made up of Vidéographe staff and members.

Projects that are retained will be subject to a contractual agreement between the artist and Vidéographe. Schedules, revised budgets, and requirements regarding equipment, rooms, and technical support will be planned and clearly laid out, as will the terms and conditions relative to each party.
