For background and texture

I want to use grungy texture for some of my backgrounds

Also, for more patterned background and texture, instead of getting random images
I want to create these patterns using the symbols of my chosen cults eg.

Mac Suite Session: Important information about After Effectst tactics

So, I told Mike my idea and he seems to like it. Now I need to...

  • Work with different layers that the camera will move through
  • Each layer has to have a transparent window ( I think they will be circular) that the camera can travel through
  • So, all I need to do is sort out all the different layers that I want to use and stack them on top of each other.
Also, each layer (may be not all of them ) will be their own composition So I can have other things going on.
Then that composition can be nested as a layer into the main composition.

eg. with the spinning renassance painting. That will be a layer in the main composition but it will also be its own composition with different rotation happening.

and I made this









  • looks a little bit too much like a fence post...need to be more red and may be the shape could be a little bit different?
  • works well with the back ground though

I made some background

drawings looking a bit better...








I live traced these drawings on Illustrator for editing so I can use them in the animation.

I need to see how these would work in colour. They probably dont even need to be in colour but the nike shoes will definitely need some colouring.

They are significant because they are a particular type of nike shoes Nike Air ( purple)

boards





Design direction boards for crit on 26 Jan. I didn't want to spend too long on these but I ended up spending longer than I probably should have. However, I did find making these boards helped me clarify what I was doing and what needed to be done.

Story Board: more detailed of 50 secs



Here's the story board for the title sequence. I know I've already done one which is very similar to this one. However, this one is more clear and accurate.

Some of the transitions between certain shots are still undecided. I need to see what would be the most appropriate once I can see what the design looks like on screen and this might not be the whole story board for the 50 secs. I wanted to try and make at least 10 secs of this animation to see how much I can actually fit in with in that time. The pace of the animation also needs to be considered.

The camera is going to be constantly moving forward so the speed of that camera will determine the content of this animation

Also, I need to leave about 5-10 secs at the end to show the chanel that this video is going to be be shown. Either discovery Chanel of National Geographic. I also want to stylize the logo to suit my animation.

Story Board : Ideas for first ten seconds



Here's some idea of how the animation will start.

Variations of design for first 10 seconds which will start with a definition of a cult
