Silent Movie... Final Pieces

My Final for Zoom:

For this one I have chosen the idea that shows both extremes of the word, 'zoom in' and 'zoom out'. It was easy to select the final for this word, as this is the only one where I had used an asset from Photoshop, instead of editing the text directly in After Effects.

My Final for Click:

For this one, I selected the most simplest idea, as I felt it actually communicated the idea the strongest. While creating this I couldn't help but add sound in my head!

My Final for Dissolve:

This idea combined a Scatter effect and an adjustment in opacity. I was glad I found Scatterize as I had no idea how to create this effect any other way, this is exactly how I visualised the idea in my head. Again, all I could hear in my head when creating this was the 'white noise' sound when the television goes fuzzy.

Top Ten Best/Worst... Brief

BRIEF:

To design and produce a 50 second title sequence for a programme called, Top Ten Best/Worst... with 4 promotional idents to accompany. The tone of my response must be appropriate to my subject matter, and should clearly communicate my concept.

CONSIDERATIONS:

The subject matter I choose needs to be something I find interesting, but also it needs to hold creative potential.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This needs to be carefully considered, and will be directly linked to the subject matter.

MANDATORY:

The title sequence must be 50 seconds long, and the idents between 5 and 10 seconds. The format of the films must be in 16:9 and in Quicktime format.

DEADLINE:

Wednesday 16th February.

Silent Movie... Experiments Part 4

Zoom 10 from Gemma Byrne on Vimeo.

This is a very simple animation and looks at adjusting the position of each character individually.

Zoom 10 Part 2 from Gemma Byrne on Vimeo.

I combined the two definitions of zoom within this idea, I started with the beginning of the previous animation, and then the characters meet in the middle as they move back across the screen before 'zooming out'.

On this composition I have introduced the idea of a camera and working in 3D.

Zoom 12 from Gemma Byrne on Vimeo.

This idea is not a very polished one, it is an experiment with the camera again but with elements at different depths.

This is still quite a simple animation, but it is my most adventurous yet. Instead of working directly into After Effects I have created an asset in Photoshop.

Silent Movie... Experiments Part 3

This is another composition I created for Click:

1) This is quite an obvious example showing the words 'clicking' into place.

The following compositions are for the word Zoom:

2) This is quite straight forward, a continuous steady zoom in on the word. To achieve this I have adjusted the scale of the layer.

3) This composition is a variation on the previous one, however in the last few frames, the word zooms quickly out again.

4) This is a continuous zoom out on the word.

5) This is a variation on the previous composition.

6) Here, I have looked at adjusting each letterform individually instead of by the whole word.

7) This again looks at adjusting the scale of each letterform individually, and then scaling all of the letters into the background simultaneously.

8) This composition has been created editing scale and opacity.

9) Here, I have looked at the word zoom in a different way; as in, to 'zoom' by, so instead of editing the scale, I have manipulated the position.

10) This composition is based on the original interpretation of the word zoom, manipulating the scale; each letterform zooms out slightly before returning to original scale size, before the word zooms out into the background.

Experiments Part 2...

The following experiments are for the word Click, using Helvetica:

1) For this I have animated using the position controls and scale. I like this composition as the text appears as if it is being clicked on.

2) The next one, is very simple, only adjusting the position of each character.

The version that isn't clipped before the end!

3) This is a variation on the previous one incorporating rotation. No matter how many times I upload this, the 'K' still doesn't work, yet the movie works in After Effects!

4) This ties in Clip 1 and Clip 3.

Experiments...

The following experiments are with text layers on After Effects using Helvetica.

1) To create this I applied the filter, Scatterize with a right twist.

2) This is using the Scatter style, and adjusting the opacity.

3) This has been created by adding the Dust and Scratches filter.
