Forests at the edge
In 2023 I spent 6 weeks in Central Chile and Argentinian Patagonia as part of a scientific research trip funded by @IUFRO to investigate the impact of climate change and extreme drought on the #forests of #Patagonia and #Chile. "Forests at the Edge" is a short #documentry film about this trip and the #science we are doing to help these forests adapt to #climatechange.

    Thanks, I just subscribed! I have one tip - When you scale them at 10:00, you only need to grab the circles and not the numbers, because the numbers are linked. If you grab the numbers, they scale independently of the circle as well as scaling WITH the circle since they're its children. That's why they shrank more than the circle did. ;-)

    What if I want to animate a highly detailed chart/graph? For example: All Academy Award nominees and winners in the past 50 years by category (acting, editing, cinematography, costume, etc.). And let's say I have all of the information in an Excel spreadsheet. I want the data to move, appear, disappear, change colors. How do I create this in a video/film? Is After Effects the right tool?

    • @TomOvenden
      @TomOvenden Рік тому

      I don’t have a Wix website myself but I’d imagine it’s perfectly possible. For my own WordPress based website I export any animations as a video and then upload it to my website. Alternatively you could upload your animation video to your own UA-cam channel and link to the video URL on your website, depending on what your doing exactly. Hope that helps!

    Nice. I'm on the fence about purchasing one of these together with either the Atomos or BlackMagic recorders as the internal recording specs are pretty bleh. Did you manage to solve the Atomos issues? Was this recorded full frame or in crop? Any regrets or other notes about this combo?

    Here's a simple expression for the rotation property of the wing: set first three keyframes (eg. 0, 50, 0). Then alt-click on the Rotation stopwatch to open up the Expression Editor and write: loopOut(). This will infinitely loop and means you can finesse the values by only changing a couple of keyframes.

  • @davewoodhead2452
