During yesterdays Enterprise lecture Bridget showed us this piece of moving image;
It's a decent piece of moving image, although not in the style that I've been working with it's still really interesting and works well. I do like roller coasters.

Moving Image.
Starting to look at some title sequences, end credits and other examples of moving image that is really quite good but could be easily re-created.
There is such simple movement in this - only certain parts change and their are parts of the sequence that are stationary but the music is well considered so it works well together even when there isn't much movement.

Cant embed the video for the end credits for Final destination 4 but it has to be one of the best end credits I've seen. Really interesting way of doing it and comes across as being really affective.
Although the Mission Impossible sequence uses video the way is included works really well, really simple but the timing of it is more or less perfect. Think that type like this could be quite effective as part of my sequence.

Casino Royale Opening Title Sequence
Got to admit that I hate the film but quite a cool opening sequence, quite different - a lot of different ideas together but again it is the music that ties everything in together.
Spider-Man title sequence.
Really like the typography and the way in which it is animated works quite well, again it is timed well with the music. Quite effective with the background as it changes quite subtly.
Metropolis Title Sequence.
Alway wondered how this type of animation is created, really effective and quite simple, just need to work out how it's done. Again quite simple and subtle movements with the type.
Strangers on a Train.
This is epic. So Simple but looks s good at the same time. Like the simplified colour palette doesn't appear to be too distracted as there isn't too many colours.
Independent feature film Savage
Such a interesting title sequence, really simple movements between frames and again finding that a simplified colour palette works much better as it doesn't appear to be too distracting and as with all the others the music fits into quite well.

Various Idents
Looking at some random idents that I really like, not channel specific or anything.
Loving stuff by ManVSMachine. Some really nice by work them. Would love to know how they created them. Like the one with the molecules appearing. and the one with the powder paint as well.
Nickelodeon idents
These idents are actually amazing, really innovative and they work quite well. Like the fact that there is music all the way through and just really focusing on the specific sound affects. Represent the brand really well.
MTV idents
These are probably the best idents I've seen that sync audio and visual together, each movement of the animated characters is timed perfectly with the sound. Really effective.
Spine TV idents
Pure vector based animation. Since working in AE when ever I watch vector based moving image I realise just how easily they can be created in the sense that the movements are created are so simple but really effective at the same time.
Branding a entirely new channel. Klang.
Great to see the branding of the channel as well as the idents and the intro to the show as well. Really like the type used and the way in which it is animated is really interesting as well. A great concept.

Motion graphics examples
Motion Graphics.
Looking at some different examples of motion graphics.
Really like the one above as it's all done in After effects which gives you an idea of exactly of all the different things you can achieve using the software.
Got to love a bit of kinetic type. Really like how well the type is synced with the audio. perfect.
Such a simple piece of animation, works really well and quite engaging too. makes me realise how simple motion can create something that is really quite interesting.

TV Idents
Various TV idents
Started to look for some random tv idents that i thought worked quite well.
Iconic channel 4 idents. No idea how they created these but still some of my favourites.
A really interesting way of creating a ident. Could work quite well with the imagery that I have and using the channel 5 logo, not sure how well it would work considering the channel 5 logo isn't really made up of that many components.
Really interesting BBC 2 idents. Make the brand easily recognisable with the number "2" and the selection of images represent different phases and times of the year as well as representing different tv shows.
This has to be one of my favourite idents. It's so simple but then really memorable too.
Looking at some older idents - I would say the channel 2 ones are probably the best - they're quite simple but the most effective
It's always interesting looking at a selection of different idents. Most of these are channel specific idents rather than promoting a certain program, which makes me realise that there needs to be a balance in terms of what needs to be show in the ident of my program, it needs to give enough information about the program but then also stay true to the brand.

Roller coaster adverts
Decided that it would be a good idea to start looking at some roller coaster adverts just to give a feel of what they're like. Not just looking at adverts for the top ten roller coasters but some others too.
Alton towers - Oblivion
Quite a creepy advert if i'm honest but I think thats what make the rides appear to be more thrilling. The mix between actual footage and computer generated image is quite interesting but still appears to work really well.
Alton towers - Air
A considerably more relaxed ride so the advert really reflects that well. Again I really like the mix between the actual film footage and the computer generated images.
Alton Towers 13.
This is creepy. Quite an interesting concept though. I guess it does make the audience quite afraid. Which is the point of the ride.
Six Flags - Apocolypse
I think it's the music that works really well in this advert. It's quite slow paced but still really interesting and fitting for the ride.
Kingda Ka
Think the repetition of the numbers and facts works really well. And quite a good pace too, doesn't get boring and even works without audio.
Found it quite interesting to be looking at different adverts and commercials, gave me an idea what really works within them and some of the things that I would need to include in the sequences and idents.

Channel 5 Idents
Starting to look at channel 5 idents - find that most of the idents that they do tend to be film based with only a few that are animated. I think the gadget show one is quite effected as it incorporates both the film aspect and then interacting with the digital side too. Most of them are around 15 seconds - so it would quite easy to create something for 10 seconds.
Motion Graphics - Examples
Began looking at some interesting examples of motion graphics and other moving image, really like the way in which both and type and image work quite well together.
Always likes 02 adverts and this one is quite interesting. I always find that the screen grabs are just as interesting as the actual motion of the adverts.
This one just blew my mind, always wondered how this type of animation is created, the movement of the ribbons is really interesting and works well in the way in which the type is revealed.
Like the way in which the background changes colour, and again the combination of type and image is really interesting.
Love kinetic type and this is a great example of it, really good although I'm not sure about using loads of different colours in the one sequence, might have been more interesting with just a selective colour palette.
This one for The Guardian is a really simple one but then probably quite easy to re create, pretty interesting and represents The Guardian quite well.

Kinetic Type
One of the points that was raised in the crit was that I could look at blurring out certain points within the animation and to ensure that certain areas remained in focus. I was looking at different examples of kinetic type when I came across this one which showed exactly what it was I was hoping to achieve.

What is Graphic Design for? Sarah's story MND.
http://www.sarahsstory.org.uk/
A truly shocking advert showing the severity of motor neurone disease. Wasn't sure what the advert was about until it is revealed at the end. Quite disturbing really but does put the point across.
"I’m so pleased that I was able to take part in 'Sarah's Story'. I think the advert is shocking and disturbing and reflects the devastation that MND causes. I hope that it will raise more awareness and we will be nearer to finding a cure. The director and crew were very kind to me and let me try some scenes even though I wasn't sure whether I could manage them. Thankfully I did and I think that the film really shows the physical deterioration that MND causes to the body. I realise that I've been very fortunate to have stabilised but most people aren't so lucky."
The making of the commercial;

What is Graphic Design for? The Fun Theory. Volkswagen
An idea thought up by Volkswagen titled 'The Fun Theory'
This site is dedicated to the thought that something as simple as fun is the easiest way to change people’s behaviour for the better. Be it for yourself, for the environment, or for something entirely different, the only thing that matters is that it’s change for the better.

What is Graphic Design for? Nike Chalkbot
Nike foundation comes together with Livestrong, during the 2008 Tour de France where they were raising awareness about cancer. Creating a mechanical machine called the 'chalkbot' people were able to sent their messages to Nike which once approved where sprayed on using the chalkbot machine across the Tour de France cycle route.
The Lance Armstrong Foundation have joined forces with us to raise awareness for the global fight against cancer. From athletes and actors to cancer survivors, the “It’s About You” campaign features a series of short films that share inspirational stories of those who have been touched by someone living with cancer. While this message makes its debut alongside the Tour de France, it’s only the beginning of a much bigger fight.
I came across this campaign whilst watching the D&AD Showreel. From the initial concept to actually creating the chalkbot machine it is such a great idea when it comes to raising awareness. The Tour de France is watched by so many people it easily gets the message across.
