Project 2: Artist Research/ Report
​PDF available here

Choose a video/film artist from the list and give a 10-15 minute presentation that illuminates their process and concepts.  You can concentrate on one piece if desired. Create a title sequence for your presentation in After Effects that reflects the work of that artist or what you are saying about them.

Technical Goals: Learning more about After Effects and Motion graphics
 
Conceptual and Aesthetic Goals: discerning your connection to other artists and how developing a body of work comes together.
