Week 9A

Logo Animation Final Critique 

The video is under Week 8-Outside of class

Some of the feedback that I got from my peers was good choice of colors, good overall design, good constant flow. They enjoyed that my narrative was very representational. For example there was hills and wave like motions that you would find in nature. The audio I found really worked for my clip and seemed to flow nicely. Something that I could possibly fix would be my final transition. It seemed a little choppy from the flat gradients into the shape of the deer. I struggled to make this flow since it was difficult to move anchor points once you've already established where they were to be placed.

Week 8-Outside of Class

Final Version: Logo Animation

Nature Sound Production

This would be an end tag that your would find at the end of a nature show or something similar.
I think the music I found for this clip works wonders! In order for the sound to work with the clip I made the animation one second shorter so my storyboard will be slightly off.

Duration: 3 seconds
Sound: www.looperman.com / Final Stand Off - Flute Vibrato- 103 BPM

Week 8B

Progress: Logo Animation

In class I worked on my animation for the Nature Sound Production. The first section of this animation is a wave like motion. 

Week 8A

Changed Symbolic Scoring Sheet:

- I changed the background to black so the deer shape would pop and the black makes it easier to watch as a video instead of the harsh white.

- Changed the typeface to Trajan Pro, color (55C9F4) to match the color in the symbol.

Week 7- Outside of Class

On-Campus Event

Outside of Class I attended the Weekend of Design at the Millersville University's Art Building. Overall I thought the workshop was very helpful and inspiring to me. All the speakers gave me a little bit of information of how they got to their jobs today, what to do as an artist and how to keep up with the latest trends of design. Leaving this workshop and conference has left me thinking that I need to sketch and draw more often, find more inspiration to build my portfolio and constantly keep reading about design. 

After Effects Beginning- Logo Animation

Nature Sound Production

In this project I have to individually upload the same file and select which layer I need from that file. There was around 43 layers. This became very time consuming and annoying. I wasn't sure if there was a faster way or not. The next step is to organize the bars into the shape of deer form. I waiting till class on monday to ask my professor and see if there is a faster way.

Week 7B

Symbolic Scoring
The next part of this project was to finish working on the rest of my Illustrator file. During this step I also had to individually set each bar on it's own layer so when I convert it to After Effects it would make it easier to   move each individual bar by scaling it up and down.

Week 7A

After review from my peers they thought it was best to have the title of the company should come in sooner so I placed it in a earlier frame. By the end of the end tag the title and final position of the deer shape would have a hold for visual rest. 

Symbolic Scoring
Here is also the start of my Illustrator file.
