Learn how to animate animals with Adobe After Effects
Are you thinking about using computer animations in your research?
Then join our workshop at Behaviour2015 and learn how to create 2D computer animations with Adobe After Effects in a tutorial by Dr. Cynthia Tedore (Lund University). In an exemplar tutorial using pictures of a spider, Cynthia Tedore will illustrate how to use Adobe products for animation. Adobe products are frequently used as typical office softwares and the fact that they can be used to animate animals for research purposes makes them even more interesting! Besides spiders, this solution also works for various animals, as long as you have good quality pictures at hand.
