redbull

i just thought i will get a head start with this commotion brief, just before half term i found the red bull canimation commotion as it was half term and i had some free time i had a chance to do some thing realising i had only 2 week to do it in i decided to tweak one of my old projects, i metaphorically dig'ed up my old maya syfy project and tweaked it from syfy to red bull its not that existing and not that long but i think it visually looks good, as it is a free entry i thought there nothing to loose

super 8 version

ZEE

Yesterday me jack and tom had a trip to Liverpool to an expedition at FACT called abandon normal devices  which “ZEE” invented be Kurt Hentschlager was being shown

Before we when I knew quite a little apart from what was said on the internet like people experience but each one was different and I could get a clear reading on what it actually was. What I gather it was is a outer body experience, and you will feel like you are flouting

Before I went I was a bit of a non-believer and couldn’t get my head around how serial this thing will be my original thoughts where that there was going to be a puff of smoke and a bit of a light show

When we eventually arrived at Liverpool and got to fact, something a bit dodge happened the guy at the desk was trying to spook use out of it and told use about the bad side affects that could happen unfortunately this got to tom and jack. I was having non of it and wanted to go in so I eventually talked jack in to it.

When it was are time we went down this hall way and yet again this other member of staff what trying to talk us out of it using all these scar tactics at this point we couldn’t go back we then strolled in to this pre smoke room it “smelt like sawdust “

when ever one got to gather we then went in to the actual ZEE room “BLOODY HELL I WAS WRONG” I couldn’t see a thing it was just a thick sea of thick fog it was such a weird feeling then the lights kicked in colors hitting you left right and center it was all most like a kaleidoscope twirling around in your face

after a while I let go of the rope and walked to the center it was like swimming in open water. really strange

after 10 minuets of that I was  pretty baffled

when we left went for lunch visited the Tate gallery and came back to get tom involved

the next visit didn’t go to plan and probable scared tom. We went in like last and it was going well the kaleidoscope came back but 5 minutes in tom went missing and there was an uncomfortable scream it was like some one getting murdered. So me and jack decided to look for tom luckily tom was fine and was waiting out side he said he herd the scream and got out of there but apparently some one pasted out and decided to scream before he hit the floor    

colour

here is another example i found i really like the colour chose they used it makes the
imagery more powerful especially the hints of red, the cross over between the blue and
the red is quite nice in the way it suddenly changes the mood of the peace

titles

http://www.watchthetitles.com/

http://www.artofthetitle.com/

i found 2 great websites that are really use full and i used within creating my title sequences for ideas 

. while looking through the sites and watching many titles it did change some of my original ideas such as my font size i was going to originally have big text that covered the page but i found that most title have text tucked away in the corner. so thats what i did i when back and presented my text in a different way  

kyle coop 1-10

this is one of my 10 important posts i know its not an expedition at a gallery or a museum, and it just a video on you tube but i found it really use full and it is a really good insight of artists point of view

as this is the first time i have created a title sequence i was not sure what to do and i found that kyle cooper kept cropping up i did some more investigation with in kyle cooper and he relates to my work in the way he has a healthy mix of digital work and hands on work he has done over 150 titles some of them are better then the film he is doing them for

what i had trouble on when i was creating my title sequence was adding text and finding away how to show them with in the video he begins to explain how he dose it, he sees the texts as a tool and should be well planed and intertwine it with the story of the film and not add the text after creating the title

another aspect that was interesting he was explaining is the hole trial and error and how that how good and accurate a computer is. it might not be the right way to go in stead experiment with other things to try get a similar and or  interesting look and this is quite similar in the way i work in some of my project especially this title sequence im working on now

portfolio visit 3rd

this was my first portfolio visit of the 3rd year at the THE NEIBOURHOOD before i when in to the visit i was talking to steve last years 3rd year, i began to show him my work and then talked work and how it is different from receiving briefs at college and receiving briefs in the work place, at the moment steve has worked on a couple of briefs but at this moment the work he is doing has already bin planed out and he has bin told what to do. but he explained that when a new brief dose come in a group of people hew are working on it go. go in to the meeting room and come up with ideas,


when i when in for my visit i did it in front of 3 people sarah, john and steve they where very nice people and enthusiastic about by work one of the mane discussions we had and one i was worried about the most is my style of work, i asked if there was any studies that were based around hands on project unfortunately she wasn't that sure, but she did say that i had a great skill set and don,t worry about it because in the industry most studies are not 100% digital and hands on projects are needed for some videos and with a great skill set could produce better ideas

Red Bull Music Academy World Tour: Amplifying local scenes beyond the beat from Red Bull Music Academy on Vimeo.

this is not any thing to do with my super 8 project but I’m quite fond of it and looks like my style of work I quite like the different styles they use and how they bring them to gather, and all so the time that they must of spent creating it, as I have looked into light drawing in the past I now know how long it takes

in the description of the video it says “World Tour going straight to the heart of today’s most crucial musical movements” and I think they achieved that by using different medias to simulate different music movements

when I was looking thru the red bull campaigns and advertisements I found a red bull animation were you have to animate around a red bull can unfortunately I didn’t have time to create a new animation so I used a structure of one of my old animations and changed it to reveal a red bull can, luckily it worked quite well all though I didn’t win I did get 590 hits so at least I know people did see it
