First Animatic

This was my first attempt of the animatic, I will make some changes for Monday after my tutorial yesterday, I think I need to speed up the pace, maybe add a different camera angle shot and change the music. I am also going to look into alternative backgrounds.

Olympics Ident Sketchbook Work

 

After researching into the olympics I started looking at pictograms and decide to use this as the style for the characters in my olympics ident for badminton. Below are some pages from my sketchbook looking at concept design and colour variations...

my idea was to have the union jack as a background layers with the characters cut out of a foreground layer so the flag pattern appears behind.

storyboard development...

Olympics 2012

The brief I've been working on for the past month or so is for a 20 second olympics ident for a sport, mine was badminton.

Some Essay Research Videos

For my essay I've been looking at the work of Michel Gondry, two of my favourite of his music videos are The White Stripes- Fell in Love with a Girl and Steriogram- Walkie Talkie Man:

Bird Research Flight Exercise

Some video clips from my mobile phone, pigeons in town, walking, taking off and landing, the second video I found particularly useful in reference for my hand drawn flight animation.

I also put together my photos, in this video, some of these were not so useful as there aren't many close ups of the birds, but the last picture, I used as the starting point for my flight cycle.

Recording and observing was very useful when it came to animating, I had a better understanding of how a bird flies and the structure of their wings.

My basic flight cycle, in flash, I started working hand drawn, but decided to use flash to get the cycle right, because I found it a lot easier to tweak and analyse as I can play it easily while I'm working on it.

Flash Lip-Sync
