Assignment 4: Introduction

Awesome. This is a pretty cool assignment I think. I start popping up with all sorts of cool superhero effects. After looking at the many tutorials on visual effects, I came up with a list of possible special effects that can be used in this assignment. Listing them out would better help me visualise what could be possible in a video and how they can be integrated and combined together to have a decent flow of events.

Special Effects which are possible with After Effects:
- Energy ball
- Lightning strike
- Time Freeze
- Super speed
- Soul-sucker
- Fly
- Transport
- Fire
- Blast
- Invisibility
- Healing
- Cloning

My favourite ones are the Energy ball and Lightning Strikes... :) Because I can look really powerful doing that. Hehe... I love looking all powerful. There is also Shockwave and Energy blast which are related as well. I can perhaps use these few effects in my video.

I also intend to do a Time Freeze, Invisibility and Fly as they are one of the more straight-forward effects which are easily learnt from tutorials. But we'll see if I got the time and energy to do all of it. Haiz. So much work. So little time.

So then I thought of an epic battle scene at NUS. Hmmm.... A good story perhaps? But the context needs to be more relatable to the NUS audience, namely the students, so I thought of a simple fight between two students over something really stupid or some weird vendetta. I don't know yet.

Will be continuing this story soon.
