One of the courses I'm talking this semester is a Media Design course. ASU structures it's courses into three classifications, A, B, and C Sessions. A Sessions course run during the frist half of the semester (the first quarter), B Session courses run the second half the of the semester (the second quarter), and C Session courses run the full length of the semester. The course is a B session course, and is just getting ramped up. The first project is structured around the need that designers frequently face in building assets that are in specific to known period of time. Copy art is one of the many skills that a good media designer needs tucked up his/her sleeve, and this assignment makes a strong case for learning that process.

Here's the quick and dirty break down of the process:

Use After Effects to export an image sequence
Open Photoshop and create a new Photoshop action (start recording)
Convert the image to Grayscale
Posterize the image with Levels
Use the Mezzotint filter - short lines
Use the Mosaic filter - 2 pixels
Start the batch process and export the images to another source folder
Import image sequence to After Effects
Set the frame rate to 10
Output the Final
