sorting out class times

Due to health issues i can only do 1/2 day (4 hours max) of each full day of classes.  Term one was very difficult as i was always on the back foot trying to catch up with the rest of the class, and having to miss so much of the in-class tutorials (especially Premier and After Effects) made it very difficult for me to do the work at home.

So in 2nd term i will endeavor to attend both Thursday morning classes each week and alternate Monday mornings and afternoons.  Storyboarding on Thursdays will be easier (i hope) to do at home than After Effects.

I'm fully up to date with all assignments and this is great, a very good way to start off 2nd term. 

Thanks to David and Jeanette for putting up with my lack of in-class hours.  Hopefully my enthusiasm to learn and to do the work goes someway to making up for this.

TERM TWO

2nd term has started off well with HDR being taught in photography, i know that a lot of the class enrolled in this course to learn photography in particular, so learning about HDR is great.   I went up to Mt Dandenong today to take lots of photos of the stunning forrests and am looking forward to converting them to HDR.

HELP PLEASE

Does anyone know how to bring an image with transparency into After Effects???
I've tried .gif and .eps files, but AE flattens them onto a white background.

THANKS!

Once photographers take the big step forward of moving their lighting off camera, a whole new world of possibilities opens up to them. Those possibilities can only be fully realized if you have the equipment you need to control your light. Unfortunately, photographic light equipment can be prohibitively expensive for the hobbyist. However, light is light, no matter how expensive your modifiers, and there are countless ways to get the same or nearly the same look as pro equipment, for a fraction of the cost.
