Day 1
Day 2
On day 1, Michael Chris Loyogoy Almasco was the speaker, he
is a VFX artist and a filmmaker. He first introduced the works that he has
done, most are commercial edits and some are his personal projects. Next, he enumerates
the kinds of VFX which are compositing, 3D, simulation and volume and defined
them each. He then introduced different software that are commonly used by
editors as well as companies. Lastly, he edited a clip using Adobe After
Effects where he put fire in the background. When he showed the clips of his
works, I was amazed because I oftentimes see them on the television and now, I
know who made them. Whenever I see it, I always wonder how they did it, and now
I realize how hard it can be. The basic editing of fire at the end of the
webinar was a good introduction for After Effects since I don't have experience
using it for VFX, just simple editing. Overall, it was an excellent webinar, I
learned a lot about the industry of VFX in the Philippines and made me
understand basic After Effects editing.
On day 2, the webinar was about graphic design and the
speaker was Ivan Cabamongan; a video editor, graphic artist and photographer.
He introduced different client projects; publication layouts, wedding and
debuts photography, and video editing. He then differentiated graphic artist
and graphic design, where he said art evokes emotion and design has a function.
Next is a refresher for color theory and how colors have meanings. After that,
he talked about typography and the difference between typeface and font, where
typeface is the entire family of font and font is the member of a typeface.
Different tips were explained in layouting. Then, he proceeded to discuss about
design principles; contrast, balance, emphasis, repetition, and hierarchy.
Design tips were also enumerated. This 2nd day was right up my alley since I’m
into graphic design. The tips that he gave were very useful especially at the
end where he said that it's okay to copy other people works, just put your own
twist to it and every resource is within our reach because of internet.
Overall, I learned a lot and will surely use all the topics in the future.
