Izzy Video 077 – Drawing in Motion

izzyvideo77

In this video tutorial, we’re back inside Apple’s Motion for a new tutorial. I show how to animate a drawing line on a map. This is a classic animation used to show someone’s trip around the world, but the technique can also be used for a variety of other purposes. For example, you can use it to circle something on the screen, to show the path a football player is going to run, and so on.

It’s a very simple effect to create, and I thought it might be a helpful one.

In this video tutorial, I show the revised setup I’m using for Paperclipping. I show the large Chimera light bank I’m using for the key light, along with the white foam core board for the fill, and the small light bank for the kicker.

This episode is in high definition. And yes, I shot it on my new camera.

My new camcorder is the Sony EX1. Although this seems to be what everyone’s calling it, the actual model number is Sony PMW-EX1. In this installment of Izzy Video, I give a miniature video review of the new camera.

If you haven’t heard of this camera before, I should let you know that it’s pretty revolutionary.
