Apple Motion Lesson 1201 Animating Masks
Apple Motion Lesson 1202 Object Shape Masks

DELIVERABLES:
You should end up with a .motn file and a .mov video file. The naming convention is "adma_motn_1201_mtn_YOURUSERNAME_v1" with the proper extension (one will be .mov, the other will be .motn)
The .mov video file:
- must follow proper naming conventions
- must be 5 seconds long
- must be in the format created by the "Video Sharing Services" and "HD 720p Video Sharing"
The .motn file:
- must follow proper naming conventions
- must be your final version of work done for this project
- When saving your .motn files, MAKE SURE TO SELECT THE OPTION “COLLECT MEDIA: COPY TO FOLDER”. This will then automatically create a folder with your media, and the .motn file. When submitting your motion project, copy the ENTIRE FOLDER CREATED by Motion, which includes the folder “MEDIA” inside it, as well as the containing the .motn file. Again, copy the entire folder created by Motion so that all media necessary to view the .motn file is present.
Your Work MUST These Requirements:
- Must use an animated mask that follows the woman so that she is properly cut out for the entire 5 seconds.
- Must do your best to get the best result, animating mask points from by frame if needed, trying different settings with the "feather" and "falloff", etc.
