Unlike Mike Curtis, I’m not at FantasticFest, but I still heard about an interesting (to After Effects artists) screening there - an animated movie called Metropia. According to Brian Behm (who did attend), the entire movie was done in After Effects: “Talking to the director afterwards, he had upwards of 40 layers in the eyes that they were animating. Really a pretty stupendous thing.” If you see the whole thing, stay through the credits and note the thank-yous to Adobe and to Peter Norby of Trapcode.
The movie above is the film trailer; for those who clicked through, here is a further teaser from the movie itself:
The Adobe sneak looks intriguing. Makes me excited for CS6.
From the looks of Twitter last night there were a couple of surprises at the Friday evening’s San Francisco Supermeet. First bit of news I saw was that Final Cut Pro User Group (FCPUG) has decided to drop the Final Cut Pro designation from their name to become the Creative Pro User Group. Second was a sneak peek from Adobe about a new application called Prelude.
