It Works Like This

Open the Ch2_Finished_Movie.mov file from this chapter's folder on the DVD to see the spot you'll create. This project continues Chapter 1's theme of working with solids in place of video, animation, or other footage. In addition, you'll add some depth to the design by animating the solids in 3D space. The basic principles you'll use are as follows:

1. Use solids to create an enticing backdrop.

2. Matte images of various sizes using solids.

3. Create eye-catching transitions by animating solids.

4. Use Vector Paint to animate a Photoshop file's native effects.
