End of the Project

Oh the end of the semester, the end of the project. Over the course of this project I learned that style has to be a thought out process and can not be some thing you just go with the flow. I all so learned that there is all ways going to be dead lines in life and it is important to hit that dead line even if what you think you did was not up to par. After you turned in your project you can try to ask if you can enhance your piece.

I all so learned that there is all ways going to be dead lines in life and it is important to hit that dead line even if what you think you did was not up to par. You could ask for time to enhance your project.

Well...

After the first critique I knew I had a lot of things to change, so back to the drawing board.
After Working out a lot of kinks I think I got a grasp on this open. This is the second open, I played with tranpcode and overlaying to get the under water feel.  The animation and I seem to be at a constant fight over the final look.



Second Animation







First PASS

For the Network ID animation I decided as my final concept to show the ART Network is unexpected places. So for my animation I chose to show a fisherman on the open-seas fishing. Then the camera would dive below the water surface until you find the Art logo sitting on the ocean floor. Then a fishing hook catches the logo and pulls it out straight out of the water. I started this project in a bit of a shock seeing then end of school right around the corner.

Network ID's what a glorious thing

For exploration 11 of our concept class we are looking into Network ID's. The reason why we are doing this exploration is to help us understand ID's because we are designing one  for Ringling TV. A Network ID refers to the identity of the network and helps relay the attitude of the station. Not to mention that the FCC requires that all US stations to identify themselves on an hourly basis.

Two Networks ID's I really think are well done are Discovery Channel and MTV. The reason I like Discovery Channel they really pack in the human feel, nature, textures, design all into clever thought out ID's. MTV Network ID's  targets its demographic so well, they captured the personality and attitude of youth.

New Transitions

These are some transitions I made trying to incorporate design of the show open elements. The idea behind these was to bring more exciting movement to these transitions, the one with circles i thought was particluarly clever.




















The First Pass

Our concept was: To show the evolution of a student through the ringling experience. We desidede to go about this in an abstract way of showing some thing transform into something better than it was.







The First Show Open

Lower thirds 
















Transitions





The Final Project

This is our final show open for A Day In The Life. For the final show open we had to bring more elements into it so we can establish connectivety with the other parts of the show package. The show open we used videos of people to bring back that human element we also used the orb as our main focus in the opener.




This is the final lower thirds:

Looping Background


















After working on this project I now have bigger understanding of show package design. I also learned about how I interact with a group, I learned that I'm concept driven and tried to keep us on the road of the concept. I learned that I also am the one to brake the tension or frustration in the group with either jokes, goofing around or a simple redbull run. I think with that attitude it made working on this project fun and exciting.

SOME TRANSITIONS WORK FRAMES





TRANSITION 2




THE CONNECTING MEETING

We met up later the day of our critic. WE NEEDED TO FIND A CONNECTION. We discussed, we laughed, we argued, we laughed, we shared, and finally we found it a connection. The idea was to use the sphere as the center of the picec and have a brain storm web come off it and share with view its ideas and eveloution.



The Thinking process

Finding our Grove

After our first pass critic, We heard that we need some connection in our piece. The show open looked like 4 people did it and was not connected in any way. We realized that we had taken a wrong turns some where and need to find our grove.
