Wednesday 22nd – Museum of brands project
Today we were given our brief for this project, animating the credits and title cards for the film students that were filming our workshops in the museum of brands. It was a little anti-climatic in my eyes as the brief for this project isn’t for the museum itself, rather for a documentary about the museum by the film students but nonetheless, we were to be split into teams of 4, pick one of the 4 workshops we did and animate a title card for it.
I chose to be in “Brand evolution,” with my teammates being Yujia, Daisy, Emmanuel and Miguel, with Yuji being the team director and I stepping up to be the team’s compositor. We set up a discord and began converging and exchanging notes while also sharing inspiration and tasking ourselves to make some mock-ups and organising a team meeting on Friday at 4pm.
On Monday 27th we are to present a small presentation containing our concept frames.
Notes I made
Animated credits for film
Typography animation
Consistent font
Can be any animation style, 3D, 2D, After effects, ect
3-5 seconds. NO MORE THAN 3 TO 5 SECONDS
Title sitting on the screen for 3 seconds
Animation itself can start before or after the title appears or simultaneously.
IDEA FOR ANIMATION
sort of collage animation – look at Nicola Francis’ Instagram page.
Can add other footage related to the workshops.
Take footage from the footage – this is heavily recommended
Text being collage is not a necessity it can be any style
At least 2 concept frames per film
1920 x 1080p
Use Google slides
Brand evolution
Could have the logos flipping through their different versions like the marvel intros
THE LOGOS COULD ALL SWING AND MERGE INTO THE CURRENT MODERN VERSION LIKE THE ZENITH IN TERRARIA
Friday 24th – First team meeting and heartbreak work
Museum documentary meeting
Today we had a team meeting where we shared our rough ideas. We decided on including them all in the presentation, receive feedback and have the teachers decide on how we could merge them, just like how they guided us for the Blink Logo project.
Heartbreak
Today I helped Phyu with animating a set piece for their final major project, Heartbreak. I shared my screen and they guided me on how they want their crumbling scene to be animated.
