MOTION GRAPHICS PRACTICE FOR SENIOR THESIS

On Spring Break and I’m addicting to working on my Senior Thesis project right now. Check out my Youtube page to see random stuff I’ve uploaded with my senior thesis motion graphics video in mind.

I’ve learned a lot of stuff from Videocopilot.net and I’d recommend that site to anyone looking to get into Motion Graphics. There are some really useful tutorials on the site.

EDIT – Here’s a video of my current thesis progress

NEW SETUP FOR THE PORTFOLIO PAGE

The portfolio page had a very annoying aspect to it before today. Every time you clicked an thumbnail the full sized image would show up and take up the FULL height of the browser window. Now this by itself would have been fine, however, in order to go to the next image you would have to scroll down once to even see the ‘Previous’ and ‘Next’ buttons which were under the image. As minor as this may sound it gets very annoying having to scroll down every time you want to browse to the next image. The alternative was clicking the image which closed it and then clicking the next thumbnail.

Those days are over now. I learned that NextGEN Image (the image browser plugin I’m using) has different display modes and I changed it to “Lightbox.” With this different mode the ‘Previous’ and ‘Next’ buttons show up on the the left and right of the image when you mouse over the respective side.
