Final Project: Storyboard + Inspiration

-

     My main idea for my final project is to fully absorb the things I've learned and make a fully fleshed out story through my motion graphic. Since music-related design is something I'm most passionate about, I want to make my final reel based on a song and create a story that relates to the lyrics. I also want to work with illustrating my own imagery, since I also enjoy making digital art and I think the design would benefit from having the real texture from digital brushes. I have yet to pick a song because I need to find or edit a really good 30 to 45 second clip to create imagery from. I want to work with something more ethereal so I can focus on a beautiful scenery with water, rolling hills, wispy trees, and soft clouds. I have been looking on Youtube for visual inspiration and Ed suggested I share some here, so please check out some of these graphics from working designers if you think it'll spark any ideas for your own final project!

Final Project: Tutorial + Updated Storyboard

      The tutorial I decided to follow was an infinite zoom effect. I want to expand on this technique and create a zooming effect between several landscapes. My original idea was to create an animated clip for a song, but I might be more interested in creating something more complex visually, and hopefully fun to draw up some landscapes by hand. My goal is to create a series of landscapes from a movie and create a consistent zoom effect as it passes through every scene. What I'm most interested in exploring is creating several moving parts within each landscape: clouds floating by, flags blowing in the wind, birds flying, things of that nature. My audio would be a monologue or quote clipped from the movie that fits to either 30 seconds or a minute. I'm deciding between Kiki's Delivery Service or Ratatouille.     The tutorial I followed is listed in the description of my Youtube Video!

PSA: Storyboard

-
 I've been trying to plan these projects to create examples of motion graphics that I would be interested in getting hired for. Since 2017, I have had a slight obsession with the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema when they opened a Raleigh location. I have always enjoyed going to the movies and it was even my first job bagging popcorn at a shitty Marquee Cinemas. What I loved most about the Alamo experience is their pre-movie screenings that are designed specifically for the movie you're about to see. Sometimes, they'll even get one of the actors to create the PSAs before the movie to encourage attendees to be follow the theater's rules. The Alamo's most famous rule is they're very strict on talking and texting; after one warning, you will be removed from the theater with no refund! (My most favorite rule is they don't allow kids in showings past 8pm). I wanted to use this PSA assignment to make a no-talk-no-text PSA for the Alamo, in their classic style, and maybe wi...

Info Storyboard

     My initial idea for our third project, an informational, is a video to promote the release of an album and its stats on the top album/singles charts. This came to mind because music is one of the fields I hope to be hired for when I'm a graphic artist full-time. Musicians often have motion graphics in their advertisements to announce a new single or album, and I want to be able to experiment with this concept now so I can build the skillset on animating a poster and making typography really lively with motion graphics. I have yet to decide what artist or album to use, but both albums I've thought of have really distinct aesthetics that I could enhance in my video animations.
