idents

All my idents were kept quite simplistic as I felt it was appropriate for the title sequence content. They all contain clear, delicate shapes and sync to the music. I also wanted to use a range of parts in the song as I could do something different with each sound effect.

final title sequence

Finally have a completed title sequence. I got really into syncing the music with the anaimation. The chosen song fits in really nicely with the content and helped in terms of creativity as the noises that played inspired me to create new effects. I tried to play with depth within this video using: a 3D-like sun, a detailed background, cc particle world, movement through the x, y & z axis etc and for the universe, it fitted in nicely, however, this could all be improved with time. I wanted to keep the type quite minimal and small as i felt it took the emphasis off the imagery which i wanted to keep clear and simple. The circular movements seem to compliment the sound which is nice. All in all it's been really interesting to learn a skill in a different area of graphic design and I feel pretty comfortable using the software.

spin//revisited

This is probably my favourite silent movie as the colour, composition and type (futura std, bold oblique) work well together. The animation itself turned out exactly how i wanted it with smooth transitions and a clear concept.

^^ simple y-axis orientation.

scale

I have the subject of 'balls' for the scale brief. Due to the fact that it's suppposed to be designed in the same way as an eye test I wanted to work with simple, clear vectors.

Originally I wanted to work with solid colour, however, I've decided to use a linear vector as I feel it's more appropriate.

In order to further these designs I've played around with layout & info graphics in order to further explore the concept of scale & legibility.

finalising the sequence

Adding the ending and final touches to the sequence:

<< discovery science logo emerges from the cc particle effect....

<<ends with a glow.

disperse//revisited

I want to revisit the after effects silent movies as I'm a lot more comfortable with the programme. I applied the cc griddler effect in order for the word to fizzle out / disperse. In the beginning of the video i wanted it to appear as if the word was resisting the disperse action and placed keyframes close together in order to create rapid movement. The cc griddler allowed me to disperse the text horizontally and vertically.

sound

This song works really well with my concept. The first 60 seconds are the noises that I was looking for in order to fit in nicely with an animation on stars as they're light/simple. The fact that there isn't much going on works effectively with the silence of space.
