Hi,

Thank you so much for getting back to us so quickly.

So, We've downloaded the DropBox Application and have put the zip file into the public folder and here is the link

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24294704/YCNSUBMIT.zip

The zip file contains our work for submission but I'm not sure how to put it onto the website?

What do we need to submit on the actual YCN website?

Regards

Praefa Uennatornwaranggoon and Elizabeth Ibbotson

We have encountered a problem uploading our zip file onto the website due to the the size of the file. It is 71.7 MB and we couldn't make it any smaller as there is a .mov file in the folder along with the PDF file. Please let us know how to resolve this.

Submission boards for YCN

MAIN IDENT

Main ident for Mark and Spencer's Plan A from Sai on Vimeo.


Finished ident for Plan A.

I decided not to go with any of the music I was thinking off. As I discussed the choice of music with Liz and we both agreed that we liked this one best.

The pace goes really well with the ident and its something that is pleasant to listen to so even if the viewers aren't necessarily paying attention to the telly. The 'nice' music might get their attention or might even memorable enough for them to remember it and think. 'that advert with the nice song'

Overall I am quite happy with the ident and I think that its a good length with not too much information on it. I wanted to add more actual information about 'Plan A' but people don't really read what they see on television ( thats why they're watching telly!). But the type (pledges) re quite a lot to read but the viewers dont necessarily have to read them. just as long as they glance over it and get the idea about making pledges.

Main uneditted ideant with no sound

Main Ident : No Sound from Sai on Vimeo.



The keyframing still needs to be sorted out and some bits are still going too fast and some bits are going quite slow.

So, I need to finish the whole ident properly and then remap the timing on a new compostion. add the appropriate soundtrack and I think thats it!


We wanted to make variations but we thought that one was enough for them to get the proposed idea. it would be too much to out variations of storyboards on the design boards I think.

Soundtrack??













we wanted something that is quite light and easy to listen to. We also wanted a 'nice' song, incase the viewers aren't paying attention to the television as people often don't when adverts are on but at least with a 'nice' song. people might turn around or even if they're not looking , it might be memorable and then they will associate it to M&S's Plan A.

We also thought that it would make sense to find a song which has the right pace for the video, although that could easily be altered but we didn't anything too upbeat or too slow....

This is going to be quite a tricky process








back on After Effects.....

Putting all the different layers from illustrator onto After Effects. ...now.....key framing time



Using the camera to move around the video. I tried doing it the other way ( just moving objects around ) and thought that that was a massively complicated way of doing it.
The camera was pretty easy to manage....until...using the depth. Its a lot more complicated going in various directions thant just one ( like my previous project) but for this, going left,right, diagonally, and in and out at the same time
