Final Project: Interactive TV Draft 1

-

         So, I completely changed my idea. I just had quite a few ideas that I needed to accept were too ambitious to try and make under a deadline. Instead, I decided to make an interactive TV for my portfolio website. Not only does the TV act as a legitimate example of my motion graphics' work, but it serves as a vessel to highlight some of my favorite movies. Of course, I expected to have at least four movies in the TV reel, but rendering became an issue after I began connecting together just the two clips into a channel-change effect. I hope to later on figure out how to subcategorize the movies, and allow the users on my website the control to change the channel themselves.


8-bit tutorial I followed (and need to tinker with so it's more visible on the videos when they're resized in the TV): Create 8 Bit Pixel Art

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

     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.
