Great Abstract Title Sequences

So I finished my animated typeface. I might add some numbers and limited punctuation later, just to round it out, but for the most part I'm getting tired of it.

So what's next? I just found this title sequence aaaaand it's pretty kickass. Maybe I'll pick a word and make one of my own... Or re-make my old Hackers titles...

LINEAR!

Here she is! My animated typeface. There's still some things I might go in and tweak, but I like how it turned out.  Finally friends with keyframing and easy ease.

Done. That pancake's done.

DROP

Fixed Drop video:

Fortune Days + the crazy

And so ends the last spring break of undergrad. The crazy is imminent, I can feel it.

My (finished) music video:

Personal logo edits...better without connecting to the letters? 

Drop poster with more than just the logo:

Whoa super saturated...Here's the regular one too:

Just for fun: heard this at 3am waiting for the subway in nyc. turns out there's crazy people there too haha

Other stuff to finish tonight: post/compositing on music video, re-motion track some clips?, personal website inspiration, personal branding/stationary, fix drop poster, liz's logo explorations... it's gonna be a long one. i'll keep you posted.

...pun intended.

Touch the Earth: updated video

Fortune Days + Grooveshark update

Minute 22 seconds. Gettin there.

Also planning on getting some stuff done on the Grooveshark email campaign thing. I'm not sure I want to replace my brochure completely though--maybe they'll be siblings and I'll keep both.

Fortune Days

50 seconds down, 45 to go.

Music video progress...It looks like I'm going to have to go back and re-motion track some of the early stuff. Which is going to be a pain. Some of these clips make me want to punch myself with how shaky they are, though.

Promax BDA thing

I think there's still a bit of tweaking I could do with this, as far as matching up to the music a bit more and some compositing, so I'll probably go ahead and do that later for portfolio. Sent this sucker in though...We'll see what happens.

Touch The Earth Promo

We'll probably make a longer, more informational one, too.

48 Hr Repack: Kirk's Bar Soap

I think Amy has some pics of the crazy last night around 3 or 4am... but here's the end product:

Design and voiceover by Amy, HAND SEWN BAGS and inital idea by Sims, and video by me.

Bar soap packaging has become overly wasteful. Some brands have up to three or four layers of extra wrappers and packaging that is just thrown away after opening. Additionally, bar soap is almost never fully used: the last 15-20% becomes messy and easily breakable, and is often wastefully thrown away.

Kirk's hypoallergenic, all natural coconut oil soap is made without synthetic detergents or animal by-products. We chose to repackage this brand of bar soap so the package reflects the sustainable, earth-friendly product inside. By encasing Kirk's soap in muslin or hemp pouches, we eliminate the need for washcloths or loofahs. Leaving the soap in the pouch during use keeps the soap together even if it breaks, and the pouch also allows a consumer to combine and collect small soap scraps that would normally be discarded. The pouch can be reused for future soap purchases, continuing elimination of loofahs and washcloths. This package is environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and reusable.

Sweet commercial

So this is amazing.

Music Video Storyboards

These are pretty vague and random-looking without the 3d stuff in there...but anyway. It's at least the beginning of a plan. This is probabaly going to end up being longer than a minute...2:00 at least, unless I can think of some elegant way to edit my soundtrack shorter or make some smoother transitions here. All but some of the last nature-y shots are mine, and I have base video for most of the city stuff. I'd still like to go up to the top of a few buildings though...Sims...Sean...

And then I just have to figure out a time when bipolar Georgia weather won't screw me over and go to Tallulah Gorge or some park in Alpharetta or something to get some good nature-y shots.

I'm planning on going into C4D later tonight to start messing around with abstract shapes and textures that I could animate through these environments, so I'll post some screens of those too.

The song I chose:



Aaaand my shorter 1:40 edit of it:

Also, something I'm working on:

Yeah, yeah, I know, enough with the motion tracking already. Nope, this is happening.

Some sweet science spots:

And then there's this truck commercial...proving with the right tone and voiceover, even something as simple as a voiceover can be effective:
