Green Screen Animation

In this animation I applied the use of a green screen.
To do this I clamped the green screen down onto a table and then placed my plastic screen over the top of the green screen, I then poured paint over the plastic screen in the shape of a number one.
To limit the amount of mess and to avoid any damage to the green screen so it could be used again. It took me a couple of times to actually complete this animation as I had to remove the paint I had previously used which was extremely time consuming, but after I had removed the paint for the second time mainly because, my arm kept gettin the shot or I had done the number one either to big or too small, on my third attempt I had successfully done the number one the right size as I marked on the plastic screen in faint pencil were the cameras range was when recording.

Introduction To Animation

Introduction To Animation

The first animated projection of an animation was created in France, by Charles-Émile Reynaud who was a  science teacher. In 1877 Reynaud created what he called the Praxinoscope and used this in what he called the Théâtre Optique in December 1888 ,which was seen as the first cinema, and on the 28th October 1892, Charles-Émile Reynaud projected the first animation in public.

But then in 1928 one of the most famous cartoonist Walt Disney created the  cartoon Steamboat Willie starring Mickey Mouse this was the first animation  to use what is known as a click track during editing which apparently produced better synchronism with the cartoon Disney then went on to created the first sound and color animated film which was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs but the first actual animated film ever made on standard motion-picture film was Humorous Phases of Funny Faces in 1906 by a newspaper cartoonist called J. Stuart Blackton

Exploding 4 Stop Motion

Exploding 4 Stop Motion:

This animation consisted of me using pencils in the shape of a  four. when doing this shot frame animation i had to use a tripod to keep the camera in place without moving but in this case it didn't work very well, but the end result i eventually ended up with i though suited the image perfectly as the jumpy cutting of the images and with the pencil's constantly getting further and further away from there center of the original 4, i also used a variation of different shades with the pencils as some are either lightly colored or darkly colored i used this to give my animation a bit more effect and feel for when i added the neon effect over the images.

TV Ident Research

TV Ident Research:

BBC 2:

The BBC Two Personality idents were a set of idents used on BBC Two from 19 November 2001 until 18 February 2007. The idents were produced by the Lambie-Nairn branding agency, The idents feature an ivory sans serif white '2' in a yellow environment and performing a variety of tasks.

Channel 4:

Channel 4 unveiled a brand new look for its main channel on Tuesday 29th September 2015, featuring new idents inspired by the deconstruction of the iconic Lambie Nairn.

BBC One:

The history of BBC television idents begins in the early 1950s, when the BBC first displayed a logo between programmes to identify its service. As new technology has become available, these devices have evolved from simple still black and white images to the sophisticated full color short films. With the arrival of digital software, branding is perceived by broadcasters to be much more important, meaning that idents need to stand out from the competition.

ITV:

ITV began each with their own identities with its own idents to create an individual identity until the late 1990s when ITV began to introduce a consolidated presentation package as part of a dedicated effort to unify its identity.

Green Screen Research

Green Screen Research:

While using a green screen you can shoot a video with a single colored backdrop (blue or green is often used) Chroma keying, sometimes known as color keying, is the process of singling out a particular color in an electronic image and then using computer software to make that color transparent. This allows another image, which can be just about anything you can imagine, to show through.

1.Full animation- refers to the process of producing high-quality traditionally animated films that regularly use detailed drawings and plausible movement, having a smooth animation.

2.Limited animation- involves the use of less detailed or more stylized drawings and methods of movement usually a choppy or "Skippy" movement animation.

3.Live-action/animation- is a technique combining hand-drawn characters into live action shots or live action actors into animated shots.

MTV animation

MTV animation:

With this animation i used the famous MTV logo i took most of my inspiration from my previously researched idents of MTV which mostly consist of bright colors or mind bending effects to get this effect; I pasted the image into Revelation pasting several of them, i then picked colors which i think contrasted each other an changed the color of each frame from its original black and white image to that off a neon contrasting color scheme which overall took up overall 8 frames. After i had done this with the colors i then flipped the colors so instead i used the previously used colors and flipped each of the colors used to give the frames more depth this took up another 8 frames.

Using quotes

In this is picked four either movie quotes or just quotes in general said by people which inspire, the four quotes used were:

Scarface - "say hello it my little friend"
Breaking bads Heisenberg - "am not in danger, I am the danger"
Bruce Lee - "I don't fear the man who has practiced 1000 kicks once, I fear the man who's practiced one kick a 1000 times"
Pulp fictions Juels Winnfield - "you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee"

I used these quotes with black and white cutout drawings of each individual person who says each quote with he use if sharpe and fineliner I then wet washed the ink to create a smudge effect around the drawings and over the text.

Mood board

This is a mood board I created to increase the amount of ideas I can gather to improve on my final piece. The board mostly consists of many different text styles with some incorporating images as a background or as the center of the design which the artist has then worked around, I will use this mood board as a guide for when it comes to creating either my final pieces design and usage of text or using an image as the main focus of whole piece.

7 Deadly Sins - Light Zone

7 Deadly Sins

through out this project I've used a large variety of graphic techniques on paper but haven't used any different graphical programs apart from Photoshop until we started to use an application called Light zone which is a programme where you can manipulate a photo by changing the photos zone mapping which increases how much the shadows effect the overall image to then sharpening the surrounding image to make it stand out from the backgrounds shadows.

the images below are the original images that I hadn't yet manipulated in light zone

 

 

the images below are the actual manipulations I did to the original images above.

 

 

 

7 Deadly Sins - City Representation

7 Deadly sins

In this piece I used the same concept I used for the animal representation of the 7 deadly sins, but in this piece instead of animals I used major Cities from around the world which are associated with each sin:

• China for Wrath- They have the world largest army
• Mexico for Gluttony- As figures collected say that Mexico is the most obese country in south 
• Saudi Arabia for Greed- As they have the majority of the world Oil
• Russia for Envy- They are trying to become worlds only superpower
• France for Lust- Paris is known as the city of love
• Greece for Sloth- Greece has been shown to be one of the laziest country's in Europe
• America for Pride- American people are very patriotic and proud of there country

7 Deadly Sins - Animal Representation

7 Deadly Sins Representation

In this piece I took certain images of animals which I think represent each deadly sin perfectly:

• Lion for Pride
• Bear for Wrath
• Pig for Gluttony
• Peacock for Lust
• Sloth for Sloth
• Snake for Envy
• Racoon for Greed

I think these animals all represent each sin very well, due to them all being associated with many different titles weather its them being labelled as dangerous or being lazy it shows that the sins don't just apply to humans but also apply to the way in which each animal behaves.#

7 Deadly Sins - Photo Manipulation

7 deadly sins

these final pieces are all done on Photoshop and all represent a sin from the sins given, I took 3 of the sins and when out and took pictures which I thought representing each sin either fully or partly, the sins I mainly focused on where Gluttony, Greed, Pride and Wrath I represented these with many different images  as with wrath I used boxing, which through out my development of the actual piece I changed what the final look would be developing my idea further I used this as reference, along with the McDonalds sign for gluttony.

Poster Design 3

 

In this final poster design I have took inspiration from both first previous poster designs as I took the use of putting letters and words inside the T for typography which then coincides with what I then did in in my second poster design where I used colours which I though contrasted each other but this time I used black and white and where the writing over laps with the background the text is then changed to contrast that of the background. I also used the use of artist in this piece which I took from my second poster design as well as the one talked about before.
