Hello everyone. This is Dwayne Ferguson for Virtual Training Company. I am very happy that you joined me on this tour and tutorial of Adobe After Effects CS3. We learned quite a bit about the new features as well as some of the old standards and put together some really fun projects towards the end. Well let's talk about what we did cover, we talked about some of the new features such as my favorite thing in world, the puppet tool and with the puppet tool, let me just go ahead and open up some projects here.We were able to create stuff like our little friendly giraffe guy here, let me double click on this and we were able to animate this over time using the puppets pins. Very powerful tool and I did show you later on how you can actually animate this. We also talked about the shapes and how you can use them to create masks and ask how you can actually use those shapes as their own thing where you can overlap and create new shapes and also how to manipulate them by using the handles or the points as well as the entire edge of those shapes. Let's go ahead and open the city life again. I won't save that and we took all of the skills from working with layers, lights, 3D camera and shadows to build a show bumper called city life. And we also worked on using a combination of tools to create our Nessie project which we already did awhile ago. We also talked about how to do things like add rain by using simple solids. How to use solids to create special effects by using different blending modes and we can also hide and show these things at anytime by turning them off and on in our timeline. So that is After Effects CS3, once again I am very happy that you enjoyed this tutorial. Feel free to drop me an email and let me know what you thought, if you have any questions as well and do, do me a favor and check out the other tutorials from the amazing authors at the Virtual Training Company. So please take some time, watch some more stuff, learn new techniques and more importantly apply those techniques to either make money or to simply enjoy the creative process. Once again Dwayne Ferguson, Virtual Training Company, take care.
