viral videos

for the stockport college brief are aim is to create a viral video fro stockport college so i began to look at viral videos on you tube that are very successful what i found was it has to be different and most of the time it has to be funny i think these have to be the key points in are video

making of

reasoning behind my indent

i notest the modern syfy indents has changed its name from sci-fi to syfy and allso involve patterns and bright colour pallet they did this so they can atract a wider audience to be honest i think they should change there name completely. as a fan of science fiction i like there older style so i wonted to take it back to there routs with the hole aliens and flying sources theme so using there new Sybil i incorporated it with there old stye to keep it modern, my animation was designed to play before programs like x fils, star gate,star trek programmes like that

T.M.N.T

i watched TMNT the other night its a pretty cool film but anyway i was was watching it and what i thought was quite affective was the slight bumpy texture on the ground when then they are in the jungle at the beginning so i tried to use this for my floor on my desert plan

tweeks

after the long and tedious proses in maya i think i have done it i have done my final tweaks today i give the ground more shin to see what it looks like and it looks better i allso timed the grass so it all goes of all at the same time i changed the lights in the house it reflects on to the ground and it seams to look better

imagine greater test

i had a go a adding the logo imagine greater to see what it will look like it looks ok but i might not have it because it might be to much and there is is all ready to much going on so i might just leave it

time

syfy hd

looking in to the modern syfy indent under the syfy logo it has the words imagine greater after i have finished my animation i might add imagine greater underneath to catch up with the modern logo

animation bit of sound

lion eye

http://www.lioneyestv.co.uk/

looking around for locale studios i found a studio called lion eyes this studio looks quite interesting as it covers a wide range of things like television, game trailers, tv, cinema, commercials and also there is quite a lot of hummer in there film reel which im quite interested in

soundf

i was just trying to add some sound to my video first thing i did was to get the general sound of the ufo this is what i wont it to sound like but im don't no what to do to recreate it

i am going to use this for my wind mill because at the beginning of the video it is spinning and i was just wondering what it will look like with sound ?

i had a go to recreate the ufo sound bye blowing through a straw in to water but it wasn't the sound i was looking for

crazy

the theme im going for is exactly like the set in close encounter and allso in the film paul , within films and stores of aliens and ufo abductions this is the typical style they go for because apparently there are more sightings and conspiracies in places like Roswell, area 51 and low populated areas like that and most of the time based in America

im gona use america symbols like there house design wind mils to use in my animation

helpufo

i have done the majority of the animation i really wonted to do a pre render to get a feel of the light beam and thank fully it worked really well the next thing i need to do is

creat a wind mill

*darken the sky

*make the moon smaller

*and moor sand affect

*lower the house

*change the camera angle

ufo

for my ufo design i wont to follow the design of a typical ufo shape so im going to use these images for a references for my ufo animation i wont to use the typical ufo symbol to get across thats it a ufo not some nasa experiment

tanden

When we visited London the studio I found most appealing was the first studio we when to which was Tanden films. When we arrived, there was a generally good vibe I noticed when we watched there film reel at the studio there was a lot of humor which I thought was nice. In my work I generally like to add hummer. What was also good was the wide range of techniques like stop motion, 3d animation, live action. i like the way each person gets there own brief to work on and also I like the collaboration when they do there own side projects like that alphabet animation when he finished it he asked that guy which was good with sound to finish it so they play to there strengths.

Key points

• Humor
• Range of techniques
• solo (briefs )
• Collaboration

HELP UFO!!

i went back to the scifi idea for the indent i did a quick test

crumbl

hitting a dead end with the sci fi theme iv decided to go with the abstract side of things like the adverts are now, i was considering the idea of things crumbling like my video to reveal the syfy title but in stead of pins us different shapes that will to reveal syfy

beam me up scotty"

i

i like the concept of things beaming up like in star trek so i wonted to involve it in one of my ideas so i had a go in maya. at the moment im like the light fog but at the moment this video is just a prototype i don't no what i did but the text at the bottom was spouts to fade in at the end but it stayed there all the way through the animation ?? and like an ideate i rendered the wrong camera this was my persp view and the camera view was positioned in front of the text head on

the idea i am heading towards is idea 2 in my sketch book it involves a space ship space chase i havent added the other ship yet i was just getting my head around what it will look like with the ship flying around the text
