These two videos were created to help the Splash Coupons sales force. The videos were available online, and also on iPads the sales team took to appointments. After Effects was my tool of choice. It was my first project getting to use After Effects after completing training. I’m looking forward to creating better and better results in future projects.

One feature in these videos is the “traveling line effect” in the background of both videos (most visible in 2nd video). The lines were created in Illustrator using an “expanded” “blend”. This was then brought into After Effects, where a 3D camera was attached to a variation of its own path. After Effects did an amazing job of rendering the vector artwork transformed in 3D space. The voiceover was edited in Adobe Soundbooth CS5. (I’ve now upgraded to Adobe Audition as part of Adobe CS5.5).

This was the full product introduction video. It contains a call-to-action, directing users to an online calendar that was on the original page (but is not on this blog page).
