My game design class was recently tasked with creating countdown clocks in the Napa Light Festival. Each clock had to be 20 minutes and incorporate light using the Saber effect in Adobe After Effects. When this was assigned to us, my mind immediately went to an hourglass. During the brainstorming process I played around with some other ideas but my mind was stuck on my original idea. When I started to create the cock, I attempted to use the pen tool in After Effects but it didn’t turn out the way I hoped. I then decided to make the drawing of the hourglass in Adobe Illustrator. From there I put the drawing into After Effects and made the lines into masks. Next, I applied the saber effects and started to animate it. The text was a bit trickier because once I got the numbers to glow (which took 2 layers), I have to make them change every minute. My peers and I then discovered how to change the number within the same layer without making new ones for EVERY SINGLE MINUTE (so 40 layers). I actually really liked this process. At some times it was very tedious but I’m very happy with the outcome.
