crit feedback

I wanted to play around with the information that will be in the idents so i can start looking at composition. The tests were taken to the crit and we concluded the second ident layout makes for better readability.

crit

After some helpful feedback at this weeks crit, I've decided to settle on Consolas for the chosen typeface. It appears informative and appropriate to my chosen content. Applying this typeface ontop of the background shows it worked in terms of context.

^ the action/title safe button has proved to be very useful for layout 

spin

With this spin video i wanted to play with layers and have the text rotate like a clock/wheel. Although I like the concept, I dont think the pace necessarily works as it's too fast and there's maybe too much going on. It's given me more ideas for spin, however.

tests

Using storyboards i created this quick video of how the sun could come into frame. Although i took a while it's allowed me to get a bit more comfortable with the software...

background

Basic background for the title sequence made up of a range of different sized stars... i wanted to try and make it appear quite realistic so took some time with composition and quantity. I also placed some subtle red and blue stars in their to create a sense of depth.

title sequence

Here I've experimented with how exactly the star would appear...

Originally i thought working in a 2-dimensional form would look appealing and allow clear crisp imagery. However, I then used a clipping mask to make a 3-dimensional looking sun. I'm kean on the idea of setting myself a challenge & so have decided to settle on the 3-dimensional sun which will set me up with the challenge of creating a three-dimensional like video on after effects...
