GRADUAL REVEAL MTV MOTION GRAPHIC

This shows another example of revealing the imagery/text in a gradual and interesting way.
I want to experiment with this in my animations.

MOTION GRAPHIC

This motion graphic is again, done by a student. This just puts in perspective the possibilities if I keep at it. I would have made the assumption that this was a professional piece of work....
I think it was done using Illustrator to create the images, and then AfterEffects to create the animation, including the impression of the zoom, in and out. I think the way that it is revealed in this way is done by manually covering and revealing areas using solid objects, like we learnt in our last workshop....

COEN BROTHERS IDENTS

I discovered these idents for Coen Brothers films, which I really liked. I discovered the designer was Leeds based and after further investigation realised, embarrassingly for me for not realising, was on our course in 3rd year.... oops. But I really like these two in particular...
I think this is partly because I am a huge fan of the films of the Coen Brothers and would love to love to design a title sequence or ident like this for them :

'CHERRYBOMB' TITLE SEQUENCE


I really like the way that the words appear 3d within the video footage.
I found this tutorial that shows how to do this on AfterEffects. This could be useful for the next part of this module...

Kinetic poetry


This example of kinetic poetry explores the layout of poetry more than the words. I am investigating poetry as part of kinetic type because I think it would be a subject that would be interesting to experiment in terms with t he creative language of poetry.

Kinetic type


I like the movement of the shot in this video; the way that the shot jerks around the type as though it is laid out on one large sheet of digital paper.


The purpose of this video is purely humour driven, however I like the way that each piece of type flows into the other, making use of the negative space in the letters. For example the gaps act as windows for the shot creating a sense of movement in the viewer.


I am looking this as an example of illustrated moving type. I know that this is not relevant for the 'Silent Movie' brief, however it's something I want to look at as part of the module. I really dont like the way that the type is over digitalized making it look like a bad vectorized object. I think it would look better if it had retained more of its hand drawn quality.


In this example the motion type is 3 dimensional which I think is a really interesting way of making the type look more 'alive'. I like the way the text crawls around the buildings like some kind of creature.


I love both the book and the film of 'Fear and loathing in Las Vegas'. I know that this is a theme that has been over used and mass produced but I like this particular motion type video because of the sense of movement through the shots and the use of the original Ralph Steadman typography used for the book title and chapter titles.

Motion type


It think that this typography really keeps in the right tone for the theme of the video.


I think that stephen fry's voice translates really well through this motion type because of the language that he uses. I also like the way that the subject he is talking about reflects the theme of the video.


An interesting way of using type as image.


I dont much like the way that type is used later on in this video, although I love the way that moving shapes and colour is used to portray different sound elements of the music.


I like the interesting use of image, type and colour. It is really eye catching and grasps the viewers attentin, much like the song. However I think that the way that the type is used is fairly unexciting.
