SESSION DESCRIPTION

This is the third of four sessions covering Apple Motion 5.5:

1. Introduction to Apple Motion 5.5
2. Advanced Techniques of Apple Motion 5.5
3. Lighting Techniques of Apple Motion 5.5
4. Cameras & Sets in Apple Motion 5.5 (coming soon)

 
This week, we explore a little-known – and even less discussed – area of Apple Motion: Lighting. Although the default lighting is ambient, where everything is lit evenly in all directions, Motion has a virtually limitless package of lights that can be positioned for both 2D and 3D elements.

In this session, join Larry Jordan as he explores the hidden lighting techniques in the latest version of Apple Motion featuring the four main lighting instruments: Ambient, Directional, Point and Spot. We’ll do this by creating four projects:

• Lighting 3D Text
• Creating Shadows
• Lighting 3D Objects
• Animating Lights

I have always enjoyed lighting in the real-world. Presenting this webinar gives me a chance to explore how we can apply these real-world techniques to the computer and motion graphics.

AUDIENCE LEVEL

This is an advanced-level session. Some knowledge of Motion will be helpful. You don’t need to own Motion to watch this training.
