We are running out of time for the creating side of things now and the intro still looks wrong so on the off chance Pucknell doesnt get the background done in time i have done an alternative intro using the old backgrounds we have. When you have done that background henry please tell me

Title information

http://www.sacu.org/langchyue.html

I've been researching the title and this page clears it up a bit I am a big fan of it. The only other thing I thought might be quite nifty if we decide against Yué would be using the chinese characters to say whatever title we want? for instance

月亮处女 apparantly means moon maiden according to google translate, although I will check that with a chinese speaking acquaintance of mine

Just food for thought

After Effects Colour and Glow Tutorial

1. Open a project in after effects with the video already seperated and placed in scene

2. Select the video layer and go to Effect - Color Balance (or any other settings. For the Moon I have used change to color which just works a bit better in that instance.)

3. Edit the setting for required effect. In the case of the lion this is extremely easy

4. Reselect video layer and go to Layer - Layer Styles - Outer Glow

5. Adjust the levels here for required effect. The settings are fairly self explanatory. Aside from the obvious colour difference the only differences between the moons glow and the lions is the level of noise and the size, although this varies from scene to scene anyway. When the required effect has been achieved go to Animation - Save Animation Preset. You can do this for both the colour correction and the glow simply by selecting them before you click save.

6. Save in the user presets folder.

7. When you need to apply the same effects to a different video clip simply select the video clip.

8. Drag the effects from the effects and presets window on the right onto the clip which will be highlighted when you are hovering over it correctly.


This tutorial is more for documentation than actual tutoring as obviously now that the presets are on my computer it would be foolish to spread this job out across multiple machines.
